The ghostly emissions are my favorite part. There was a car in the story, but the emissions didn't have anything to do with a sinister plot. Those are there because I thought the illustration needed some skulls to spice it up. ;)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-23451878633827694342011-12-07T22:24:20.883-06:002011-12-07T22:24:20.883-06:00Terribly late joining the celebration for your rec...Terribly late joining the celebration for your recent publication!

I figured it was just an 80's movie. I guess I haven't seen any photos from the first one. I should try to find the 1960 version first. I'm curious about why those kids have white hair. Are they aliens or something?<br /><br />Matt ~ I don't know about either of those magazines, either! Yeah, I love when the cross-cultural exchange thing happens. :) I have learned so much about other cultures and countries through blogs. By the way, if you didn't click on the link I posted above for VainGlorySinner, take a look.

I guess it's just the general creepy children theme. <br /><br />I've seen the 1995, John Carpenter remake of 'Village of the Damned, starring Christopher Reeve. I really can't remember it that well at all. I'll have to rewatch it. I've never seen the original from 1960. I'll have to put them on my "to watch" list!Little Gothic Horrorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315631250163742387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-88860405180975944402011-11-28T14:25:52.460-06:002011-11-28T14:25:52.460-06:00VainGlorySinner ~ Haha!

Sometimes, if I don't read blogs for a day or two, I miss a lot! <br /><br />Thank you! Yeah, I actually do feel a little famous. :) I read once that Stephen King has a subscription to Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. So, I imagine that he's seen my art. That's pretty cool to think about!<br /><br />I looked up the ForteanTimes web site, and it appears to be filled with all kinds of weird and wonderful news. The "Strange Days" section of that site looks like lots of fun!<br /><br />I wasn't familiar with Spine Chiller, either. I guess that isn't too surprising, since these were British publications. I googled that and ran across a blog that you might enjoy! It's filled with all sorts of spooky stuff from England. The Cobweb Room:<br /><br /><a href="http://cobwebbedroom.blogspot.com/2009/08/spinechiller-collection.html" rel="nofollow">http://cobwebbedroom.blogspot.com/2009/08/spinechiller-collection.html</a><br /><br />I sent you to the older Spine Chiller post, but the blog has been recently updated.<br /><br />Old Hag ~ Thanks! :) Let me know if you find the issue. I'm curious to know the places where it is sold. Yes, I'm a believer in that too!<br /><br />Stacey ~ Thank you! I hadn't told you about this? I should have shown you the magazine when you were over here last weekend. Oh well, I'll show it to you the next time we get together! I've been working on a Children of the Corn review.<br /><br />Jessica ~ Thanks! How sweet of you to say that. :) It's a fun feeling for me to have my art out there, and be associated with this magazine!Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-41364891913245371662011-11-28T11:12:23.872-06:002011-11-28T11:12:23.872-06:00Those are amazing.

You're famous!<br /><br />We don't have any magazines like that in the UK! If there were I'd be subscribed! We do have ForteanTimes though which is good enough I suppose!<br /><br />I remember my brother used to collect Spine Chiller magazine when I was about 10-11 and I used to read them before bed and really scare myself! I wish he kept them! xxxGhostlyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082672042134194651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-23016062618582667812011-11-27T17:10:54.799-06:002011-11-27T17:10:54.799-06:00Wow! Thanks for the support everyone. :)
Vivienne...Wow! Thanks for the support everyone. :)<br /><br />Vivienne ~ Thanks for taking a look! I'll be interested to know if you find it. I'm not sure which stores carry the magazine. The only place I've ever seen it is Barnes and Noble. I was really surprised that Eric found it in a grocery store!<br /><br />Little Gothic Horrors ~ Yeah, it was exciting! It's thrilling to open a magazine and see something you created! I liked seeing that little graveyard in a new incarnation. I like to ask people which of my Old Maid cards is their favorite, and a lot of them say it's the graveyard! Haha, well if we're being technical, the witch has a little fleck of pink in her eye. :)<br /><br />Yeah, Alfred was really deadpan! I liked that part of the joke too. I thought about that as I read the news stories involving guns and the Black Friday sales this year! <br /><br />I agree, the part with the crow's head getting chopped off was too gross for me. I was disturbed just watching her cut a fake crow's head off with a knife.<br /><br />Yes! "Village of the Damned" was exactly the movie I was thinking of! How did you know? That will probably be the next scary movie I watch. Have you seen either "Village of the Damned" or "Children of the Corn"?<br /><br />Dave the Dead ~ Thank you! :) Good to see you around here!<br /><br />Jeanne ~ Thanks! Yeah, I think Alfred manages to carry off his jokes by acting so solemn. That and wearing a suit adds some seriousness. He always looks and acts like he's on the way to a funeral!<br /><br />Matt ~ Thank you! Oh, I probably worked a few days on this after deciding on a concept. As I recall, I used ink and black and white acrylic paint over my drawing. Have you seen "Children of the Corn"? I have a lot to say about the movie and can't wait to write up a review!<br /><br />Ali ~ Thanks so much. :) Yeah, Alfred is probably my favorite spooky director. I can't think of any other director who has captured a mood or built suspense like he has. There's always a little twist of humor too. If I tune into the middle of one of his movies or shows, I can recognize his style right away!<br /><br />Adsila ~ Thank you! :) Cool, let me know if you run into this issue. <br /><br />Pensive ~ Hahaha! Does Ben Affleck wear a toupee? I might have missed that. I can't really picture what his hair looks like. Actually, when I drew this I was thinking of someone I knew. My source of inspiration had really bad looking hair, so I figured it was real. I mean, who would buy something that awful? From what I was told, his toupee was outed when he went swimming in the ocean with his girlfriend. I guess a big wave came up, and wooooosh away the toupee was carried. I hope it didn't choke some poor sea creature or scare the unfortunate person who found it. I guess his girlfriend thought his hair was real until that point! That story makes me laugh so much, that sometimes if I need to smile for a picture, I think of it. :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-75214424510310309582011-11-27T16:32:47.920-06:002011-11-27T16:32:47.920-06:00Congrats!
