Television
The cathode ray tube (a.k.a. television) is a box that sends a signal into our brains which in effect produce tumors that trigger hallucinations capable of turning us into mindless automatons that can be programmed to do the most heinous actions the mind can conceive of. However when I'm not seeing things or being played like a human video cassette recorder I'll probably be watching the NBA or mabye Attack of the Show on G4. In days gone by I've thoroughly enjoyed Three's Company, The X-Files, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits (the originals, not the crummy new series that should be outlawed), NWA, AWA, WCCW, Headbanger's Ball, Night Flight, Scooby Doo, Sigmund & The Seamonsters, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, and just about anything with monsters and big, hairy gorillas and/or apes since they are what watching T.V. is all about, don't you think?
Books
Stephen King, Clive Barker, Jack Ketchum, Richard Matheson, Rod Serling, Charles Beaumont, Edgar Allen Poe, Chas Balun, Tim Lucas, and many more writers whose work in the magazine field inspired me to no end which would include: Dennis Daniel, Scott Stine, Scott Gabbey, Shane Dallman, Damon Foster, Forry Ackerman, Joe Dante, Steve Bissette, Malcom Dome, Bernard Doe, Don Kaye, Katherine Ludwig, Mike Gitter, Jeff Wagner, Joe Kane, Joe Bob Briggs, Michael Weldon, Steve Puchalski, Bob Martin, and everyone who contributed to Deep Red, the greatest and most influential zine I've ever laid my eyeballs on.
Heroes
Mum and Dad because without them I wouldn't be here plus they helped shape my personaity and made me the person that I am today, and other folks who I couldn't squeeze in any other category like: Richard Corben, Basil Gogos, Berni Wrightson, Amber Lynn, Traci Lords, Christy Canyon, Annie Parducci, Linda Shaw, Kristara Barrington, Lois Ayres, Ginger Lynn, Heather Wayne and all others who splashed across the screens between '78 and '85, and whoever invented the video cassette recorder, the drive-in, Colecovision, Sega Genesis, Arcade Emulators and widescreen high definition televisons I can't thank you enough.

About me: I've been writing in the zine world now for 15 years (give or take). I started out in '93 or so with Psycholic Slag which was named after a White Zombie song, but decided this wasn't appro so a year or so later changed the name to Liquid Cheese which comes from an episode of Married With Children. So the zine is still going strong today despite the internet proving to be a more popular forum for people to write and contact each other. The art of a handheld, paper zine is a rarity these days, all the more reason for me to continue doing it! All of this stems from my insatiable passions which came to me around 1975 or so once I experienced the drive-in and started listening to KISS. From that point on it was all down-hill as this degenerated into a lifelong quest to seek out the truth in cinema and music, or at least to try and find the cracks in the floorboards and pry 'em open to see what lies below. I'm using this page to get in touch with like-minded folks (jeez how cliche is that?) and maybe, just maybe educate someone as to the charms of Annik Borel or Andrew Prine for example. I've also been fortunate to write for the following publications:
ULTRA VIOLENT
SCARY MONSTERS
MIDNIGHT MARQUEE
BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED
Who I'd like to meet: I go to a handful of conventions each year (Cinema Wasteland, Flashback Weekend, Wizard World, Fangorira's Weekend of Horrors) and meet celebs and fans alike. Yet their remains a vast untapped wealth of folks I'd love to chat with and let them know how inspired I've been by their work in the field of popular culture. So the nice thing about the friends below is that I'm oh-so-fortunate to help support some VERY deserving folks who work in the multi-media & pop culture universe that I'm obsessed with. Please support their efforts, whether it's artwork, movies, music, writing or even film festivals and conventions because EVERYONE has something to offer, and it is because of them that we can live each day with something that puts a smile on our faces when the slow burn of life sometime's brings us down. I mean that's the true meaning of 'friend' so go check out the folks below and be prepared to enter a world of imagination the likes of which we may never recover from! The list of actual people I'd like to meet would be huge and I wouldn't want to make some unfortunate sap read such a list since I'm sure you've got better things to waste your time on, no? However my number one goal is to someday meet Amber Lynn who has remained a personal favorite of mine for years and years. So Amber if you are reading this get in touch with me, you are simply the best! Yeah!

Hey Dave, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you have a good week and that you're all geared up for Fango. Hooper and H.G. Lewis! Are you going to HorrorHound this spring? I won't be spending very much but I do plan to at least attend and see everybody.
Thanks for accepting our request man. I have a few issues (of liquid Cheese)from back in the day around here somewhere. I used to do a lot of video trades....Godzilla and stuff. I Probably traded something with you. How is the mag coming nowadays, and where can I get it?
