Can you feel it? Halloween is creeping up on us deliciously fast! You know for us ooky spooky types Halloween is absolutely the best time of year so, of course, The Zombified’s got all kinds of tricks and treats in store…

First of all, a huge thanks to Amy over at The Ultimate Goth Guide for her beautifully written entry into her Coveting! feature! She also included the Hallowhaus comic in her Books That Go Bump In The Night list of essential Halloween reads. She describes the latest issue of Hallowhaus as: “The perfect comic book treat to serve up for Halloween – as classic as a slice of pumpkin pie and as warm as hot chocolate. A light-heartedly spooky treat for darklings of all ages.” How’s that for a review!?

This first edition of Bat Bites is a very special themed edition! Some of you might already be aware of the fact that the original 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre is my absolute favorite movie (we’re talking full on geekery here, folks!), and over the past few months I’ve had several opportunities to deeply indulge myself in said geekery…

First was the Rue Morgue Cover Contest at this year’s Texas Frightmare Weekend. I couldn’t resist doing a Chainsaw themed cover, and it scored me an honourable mention on the Rue Morgue site! Very few of there were printed, but there’s a few prints left so you can still snag one on my Etsy.

On June 4th I had the ultimate fan experience: I spent the entire day touring the original filming locations, and topped it off with an awesome outdoor screening of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre at the house (now restaurant) from the movie! My buddy Wes from The Bloodsprayer is a big Chainsaw fan as well- he asked me to do a guest post so you can read all about my adventure. Oh, did I mention I actually had dinner… in the Chainsaw house… with Edwin Neal (the Hitchhiker- who just happens to be my veryvery favorite character)? Because I did. And it was beautiful.

Surprise! I’d been secretly scheming with awesome horror shirt company Fright Rags to quite literally dig up some dirt for their limited Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Exteme Edition sets! Freddy In Space collected all the details nicely, so you can read all about what was included and see the shirt/poster artwork over there!
