Producer Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-Man) and Director Gil Kenan (Monster House) are bringing the world a new take on the classic film Poltergeist.
I’m not a hater on reboots. John Carpenter’s The Thing and Brian De Palma’s Scarface are both brilliant remakes. Judging from this trailer, Poltergeist has definite potential. Check out the trailer below and, if you’re interested, get ready for its theatrical release on July 24th.
So this was unexpected.
Late in December, Adam Gauntlett—one of the folks behind the tabletop section of wildly popular gaming/geek site The Escapist—contacted me to see if I was interested in doing an interview about Little Fears. Of course, I jumped on it. I’m very happy to say that the interview is now up and I don’t sound nearly as dumb as I usually do.
Hello, folks, and Happy New Year!
Have you been holding off on picking up Little Fears Nightmare Edition? Have a friend who’s interested but hasn’t committed yet? Well, not to sound like a late night informercial, but now’s the perfect time.
DriveThruRPG has kicked off its New Year, New Game sale and LFNE is one of the amazing super-cheap bundles you can pick up.
For just $15, you get the LFNE corebook, Book 2: Among the Missing, and the first two Campfire Tales standalone episodes, less than half what they’d run you individually. While you’re there, be sure to check out the other bundles (batch one; batch two) they have up for sale.
I’d also really appreciate your help in spreading the word. There’s something really special I want to do with LFNE in the new year (aside from release The Wolf Pact novel, of course) but I won’t be able to do it without your help!
I’m winding down on sending the Kickstarter rewards out so I feel comfortable opening the print version of Book 3: Blessed are the Children for sale to the public. You can grab it here or over on the Products page. Any orders submitted should ship out early next week.

Not every child is the same.
They are different than other kids.
Some would say strange.
Some might say cursed.But they are called the blessed.
Some are born without souls.
Others, with more than one.
Some are secretly monsters.
Others are children of faith
given powers beyond belief.And then there are those
who wander this world
long after death.
Searching. Wanting.Hoping.
Praying to die
or to live again.Every child is special.
Some more than others.
Book 3: Blessed are the Children focuses on the realm of spirits and ghosts within the world of Little Fears Nightmare Edition.

I really don’t want to spoil anything by saying how this wonderful 7-minute short film starring Alan Rickman relates to Little Fears so please just trust me when I say it does.

Just a quick note to let all the Book 3 Kickstarter backers know that I’ve started shipping the rewards this week. I’m doing them in batches each day but should have them all done this week or early next.
Once all the books have shipped, I will put Book 3 up for sale on the site for general purchase.
Thank you all for your patience! Your wait is almost over.
A couple days ago, I received notification that the books had shipped. I checked on the tracking number a minute ago–and they’re scheduled for delivery today! Awesome!
I’ll start putting together shipments this weekend for shipping starting next week. It’ll take multiple shipments to get everything out but, for those of you waiting on physical product, the wait is almost over!
The folks at besthorrornovels.com have put together a great list of horror books for kids including The Stone Child by Dan Poblocki and Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn. I highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for Little Fears inspiration.
As a huge fan of the series, this is amazing news: Amazon CreateSpace is bringing back Are You Afraid of the Dark? on DVD!
The first two seasons are currently available—for the ridiculously low price of $11.99. If there is one series I recommend for fans of Little Fears, it’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? It’s amazing television that I cannot oversell.
I scoured the secondary market to collect the original DVD releases that have been out of print for about ten years and paid about $40 back for each season, on average (and I got some *good* deals). Seeing them back in print, at such a low price, makes my heart sing. Do yourself a favor and pick these up:
