And It Was Night (on horror & faith)
I generally believe a person's private beliefs are just that; private beliefs. On the other hand, if a person ends up on CNN for stalking 10 million strangers while simultaneously professing strong beliefs in a loving God...
Bill Oberst, Jr. Dives Into The Bloody Pool at Monster Island Resort
Monster Island Resort host Miguel Rodriquez and Bill Oberst Jr. really hit it off in this summer 2011 gabfest. Titled "Genre Ruminations," it's less an interview than a conversation about the past and future of horror between two guys who love the genre. Recorded live in Hollywood at Bill's favorite java haunt, The Bourgeois Pig.
“King Of Horror” Says Erebus
In mythology, Erebus is the very embodiment of primordial darkness. This U.K. site which bears his name has a stated mission of returning horror to its glorious and primal roots. I love their manifesto. So when I read this I was more than a little humbled: http://erebushorror.wordpress.com/2012/03/28/king-of-horror/

“Oberst channels Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction”
Assassins (watch the trailer here) October 26, 2011 review at McBastard’s Mausoleum by Ken Kastenhuber ASSASSINS (2011) Rating: 4/5 “A short film. It sounds pretty easy, right? Pumping out a compressed little story in an abbreviated form with a beginning, middle and an end that’s coherent and intriguing… wait, that actually sounds kind of excruciating now that I think [...]
“Oberst is uber-creepy. We’re talking Bill Moseley level creepy.”
Dismal (watch clips on Bill’s Horror Reel) December 2010 review at MoreHorror.com by Jason Lees Dismal: Movie Review by Jason Lees, MoreHorror DISMAL (Gary King, 2009) There are three basic types of low budget independent films.

“The unrestrained cruelty of Oberst’s performance is brash and unrelenting…as if Bill McKinney was dropped into Friday 13th”
Dismal (watch clips on Bill’s Horror Reel) December 22, 2010 review at Fangoria.com by Max Weinstein “DISMAL” (DVD REVIEW) I’d be lying if I told you I’ve never experienced a period of academic overextension at some point or another. In this regard, the predicament Dana (Lydia Chandler) faces in DISMAL (on DVD from Cinema Epoch) provided a kind [...]
“Chaney, Karloff, Lugosi, Englund & Oberst”
"Oberst is on the cusp of greatness, having appeared in dozens of independent films, usually as the head baddie, and many television shows as well, namely True Blood and 1000 Ways to Die. At one point he was being looked at as the next Freddy Krueger for the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Soon you'll find him getting that breakout role in a major horror flick, and we can say we got him first."

Just heard from a U.K. television viewer that my torso was used on the program “World’s Greatest Body Shockers” on the E4 channel. Apparently a Google search for pics of Christian Bale’s torso from The Machinist returns this one of my own creepy ribcage as the first result and a researcher at the channel snagged [...]
