I haven't seen Girl Next Door (the book disturbed me enough...LOL) but I have seen The Lost. I actually got to see it at the Toronto Festival of Fear in 2006, I think. Jack Ketchum was there and in the audience. After the movie, he spoke about it. It was really awesome. Ketchum is a great guy in real life too!

wow, that's great, JasonI love finding out that the authors I admire are not just great writers, but are also great human humans
Girl Next Door is a VERY disturbing film, it captures well the feeling you get while reading the book and the acting is surprisingly good, considering that I didn't know any of the actors well
Here's a picture with me and Jack. I had long hair back then...LOLhttp://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/7...
awesome, Jasonyou gotta make that picture larger
I actually don't have the picture anymore. I had it saved on my old MySpace profile page and had to snag it from there in order to keep it. I guess I could make it bigger myself, but it'd probably ruin it more...
When I got my picture taken with Neil Gaiman, I saved the print(this was before digital cameras were popular) and framed it. Despite how ridiculous I looked a decade ago, the picture is one of my most treasured posessions and it is proudly displayed :)
That's cool, Bandit! I never met Gaiman, but I did get to see him speak. I was in the front row. :)
In 2010, in Brighton England. Gaiman made a surprise guest appearance at the World Horror Convention. He also did some signings. Unfortunately, my wife and me missed that last part. I so wanted to meet him. :(
oh, I'm sure you'll meet him again, especially if you go to conventions. I've never been to a convention yet, but I really would like to. The one that's going on in Texas this weekend sounds amazing
That would be the World Horror Convention for this year. I wish I was there. :( Joe Hill is gonna be there. :( :(
*turns away to hide his tears*
well, in a perfect world, I'd be there too celebrating my birthday tomorrow, that would be an awesome way to spend a birthday...don't cry, Jason, there will be others
Joe Hill and Brian Keene and Jack Ketchum and well pretty much all the good horror writers alive are there and posting pics on their twitters to make us go "Hey!".

Thanks, Tressa! As I said before, he's a really awesome guy in real life!

and no, I'm not posting that picture, I can't let the world that hair...lol
What style was your hair in? Mullet? Poodle perm? Shag?
Haha as a kid i was mad my hair wouldn't hold a perm, now I feel blessed for my wavy hair which never cursed me with bad 80s perms!
Bandit wrote: "well, in a perfect world, I'd be there too celebrating my birthday tomorrow, that would be an awesome way to spend a birthday...don't cry, Jason, there will be others"Happy belated Birthday, Bandit!
Thanks, Gator :)Mullet? Perm? seriously? haha, no way...it was like short and spiky(honestly at the time spiky was popular)
it wasn't THAT bad, but it was nowhere near how lovely and put together and fancy my hair is now, so it's off limits :)
I didn't know that zombies do hair styles!
sure, we're like humans, some of us care about our appearances and do hair and dress nicely and exercise and some just let go, turn to slobs, rot and live from brain to brain
Shall we assume you are like the former?
absolutely, I even occasionally post pictures to prove it :)
Ah...there she goes, teasing us again. LOL
hey now:)
I have too posted pics before, ask Tressa
Yep I saw one of them :) She did indeed have hair.

Yes, she did, and quickly took them down. In one she looked like one of those spelunkers in The Descent. Very cool. Bandit's a living doll.
For limited time only there is now more photographic evidence of me :)
Amanda wrote: "Yep I saw one of them :) She did indeed have hair."Yes, but was it hers? Maybe what she wears as hair once belonged to another corpse.... :P
oh, really Greg? really? lolit's all mine, I dare you to give it a tug if you don't believe me...nothing makes a vegetarian zombie change her mind about her diet like a hair tugging :)
Very true, Dorothy! But if Pinhead appeared in my room with his gang and he said that to me, I know that my even my shit would feel ice cold as it flowed down my legs. LOL
No problem Dorothy. But I gotta wonder who would mess with you when you got Pinhead on your side?

Oops! Forgot to reply to this previously! :$ OK so I stand corrected - your hair's all yours! :) But... if I gave it a tug, as you suggest, wouldn't it all come out in my hand, possibly with scalp still attached to it? :P
Psst. Don't mention Bandit's rotting skin. It's the elephant in the room that we all must delicately squeeze around.
Tressa wrote: "Psst. Don't mention Bandit's rotting skin. It's the elephant in the room that we all must delicately squeeze around."Oops! Erm... OK. What do we say instead then? Do we, um, complement her on her bones, weight loss and such like?
Just say something like, "Oh, Bandit, what a lovely shade of green you are today." But don't let her see you holding your nose and for God's sake, whatever you do, don't make any vomiting noises.
hey now...how many photos do you need to stop that? loland one should always compliment a woman on weight loss, zombie or not
one day I'm just gonna change my avatar and then you'll just have to be nice...or tressa-nice :)
Ah, when you change your avatar to the real you, then the zombie jokes will stop, or at least level out to Tressa-nice, which sometimes hovers between Gilles de Rais and Kathy Griffin.
Gilles De Rais? are you saying I look like a young boy? is it the short hair? LOLin no world would I be cruel enough to compare you to Kathy Griffin
Sweetheart, you misread my comment. I was talking about the scale of Tressa-nice, which can be found somewhere on the spectrum between Gilles de Rais and Kathy Griffin.
oh, sorry, yes grrrr AS braaaaainsok, so it's either avatar change or zombie cracks, I guess :)
