Vincent Price Presents #32

My debut mianstream comic Vincent Price presents #32 is on the shelves!
"Spirit Radio" is the tale of Jim Berneke entreprenuer and thrill seeker who crashes his balloon after being blown off course. He believes he has landed within the crater of a simmering volcano but the truth is even more infernal than he imagines. Pick up this issues of BlueWater Comic's premiere title!

Project Updates

As you may imagine I usually have a few irons in the fire at any given moment, so to let you folks know what to keep your eyes peeled for here is the short list.

Kevin just hit the halfway mark in The Terrible Revenance of Grandfather Bones. This is part two of the piece we're doing with Creator's Edge Publishing along with Spirits in the Well. We're both looking forward to getting this creator owned property on the shelves.

I am working on a graphic novel script for a project called "The October Watch" about a group of monster hunters who protect the city of Silver Cross during October when the veil between the living and dead is at its thinnest. Brick Hellsmith leads this group which consists of a Frankenstein style monster called Manhaus, a shyster wizard Wodenstein, the mad scientist Dr. Bacon and his assistant "Igorotron" who is a robot built around the brain of his dead college room mate. I'm having a lot of fun writing this and there are laughs as well as chills as they go up against Brick's ex wife and the teen age shirtless vampires who claimed her as one of the undead.

Mea Tulpa is another of those projects that's been going on for a while because its got meter and pacing structure that is extremely important to do properly. It is the third in my Tulpa Trilogy after Never Send a Monster and Monsters Never Prosper.

I am in the queue with Blue Water Comics to do one of the upcoming "Vincent Price Presents" comics titled "Spirit Radio." I'm really proud of this comic and its old school Twilight Zone feel. It's got great atmosphere and a twist I'm hoping no one will see coming. I am also working another piece for Blue Water called "Keys to the Kingdom" which is sort of a monkey's paw style tale. Both will be BPP releases and I'm excited to get them out there!

"A Haunt of Shadows" is a indie horror script I wrote for Modern American Cinema run by Kristian Day. It's a period piece set in a Chicago mansion in the 60's full of horror, sorcery and ghosts. We're still waiting on a production date but so far it's all a go!

Nightmares Tickle theatre is also a go for its first short piece on Youtube, but we're waiting on clearance for a location approval at Double Daughters Tavern at 17th and Market st. Local DJ Genine Mix from Mix 100 will be the dramatic lead of this chilling vignette of the supernatural and tale of a wife and mothers loss.

There are other pieces in the works coming out further down the road but these are the projects you can be looking out for.

Thanks for your time and attention.

Don't let the Nightmares Tickle.

Nightmares Tickle Theater

So I recently won the HalloweenHootenany horror story contest on the PublisherDatabase.com which is my second year running. My prize for this year was a 1040 HD video camera and I have been thinking for some time about what I would like to do with video were I presented with the opportunity.

So now that this is a reality I am here to announce that on my Youtube Page I will be starting out Nightmares Tickle Theater. I am currently working on the first script which will be the first of at least three. These will be short dramatic pieces revolving around interviewing people who have had encounters with the paranormal and will essentially be debriefings of these events.

They will not likely come out in quick succession as I am also writing a couple Vincent Price Presents for Blue Water Comics, finishing the third installment in my Tulpa series to be illustrated by Kevin Gentilcore for Creative Edge Press, working on a pitch for SyFy channel and a couple other gems more in their infancy.

But I will update this as we get closer to production and look forward to sharing this with you all.

Who is this guy exactly?

I'm so glad you asked.

My name is William Tooker and I'm a speculative fiction writer working in film/video, short stories, comics and novels.

My first foray into comics was in a backup story for Distortions Unlimited #1. Through some editorial mishap my story is no longer in thatbook but my name remains in the credits. Currently I am writing 2 stories for Vincent Price Presents from Blue Water Comics.

I work frequently with Kevin Gentilcore principally on our own fledgling label "Creephouse" and we are also doing some stories with Chuck Messinger at Creative Edge Publishing.

Keep your eyes peeled for updates on upcoming projects and links to previews.

Will
