Sucking Wonderfully

30 Oct 2006

George A. Romero's 'Martin' Film Experience Blog is hosting a Vampire Blog-a-Thon just in time for Halloween.

I was delighted to see that three bloggers saw fit to write about George A. Romero’s criminally overlooked Martin: Silly Hats Only, Richard Gibson, and Tuwa’s Shanty and The Roots Canal.

Catching Up with the Coens
