I hate living behind a gate. It means I miss every UPS package that I’m forced to sign for. It pisses me off. But I digress…

I was searching in vain for some sort of update today and I figured the cheapest thing to do would be to plug some of our other sites. Being the multi-million dollar media conglomerate that we are, our tentacles are all over the place.  I realized last night that we rarely ever use our Myspace pages as well as we could/shoud (Deadlantern, Splattercast, The Grand Horror). A lot of websites utilize these social networking pages really effectively. We let them sit in general disrepair. However, I think you’re going to be wanting to pay much closer attention to them in the weeks and months ahead…

A long time ago, Explodey Jo set up a Facebook group for the Splattercast. Yet another thing we never update or promote. The Grand Horror is still for sale. Last I heard, Deejay was trying to bamboozle Netflix into carrying it somehow. I’d rather not think about what legal, or illegal, activities he may or may not be involved in to make that happen. And of course, you can help boost our Splattercast statistics by listening over at Pod-O-Matic or, if you prefer, you can leave us some positive or negative feedback on iTunes. We also have a webcomic that is never updated.

So what’s around the corner for Dead Lantern? Lots of things, actually.

• Outpost Doom: A couple things on this front. First, we might have a newspaper article go online tonight or tomorrow. If it does, you’ll be able to find it here. Film editing is coming along slowly. Right now, I’m hoping Deejay’s hard drive contains the entire tape of missing footage that includes our entire opening scene. Did I mention that footage was missing? Oops. Probably shouldn’t have done that…
• Splattercast: Our 100th episode is just over the horizon. And we still have no plan for it.
• Black Blood: A Dead Lantern film project  discussing African-Americans in horror films. It’s scheduled to be screened Wednesday, October 29th with a Q&A session with yours truly, afterwords. I’m nervous about that.
• Untitled Podcast: Deejay and I are tentatively scheduled to begin co-hosting a live internet radio show in the coming weeks. The format will not be as horror intesive as the Splattercast. I don’t have many details about this yet, but it’s being put on by the fine folks over at HorrorMovieFans.com

So that’s what you can expect for the time being. I’d keep a close eye on things around here and our other sites. You never know what you might find…
