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.

Starfest 2010

As I sit here looking at the blog title it feels a little futuristic to me.

As a kid 2000 always seemed like a distant future and now we're 10 years beyond. As far as I'm concerned after 2000 everything should be considered the future and I want to know why I don't have my own Jetsons flying car that folds into a briefcase.

At any rate, the subject of this blog being Starfest I will be there in attendance with Kevin Gentilcore my partner in our new Creephouse label where we will be selling a limited edition numbered and signed original work of Spirits in The Well. The brilliant and multi talented Daniel Crosier will be there no doubt with his wood burning tools that he uses to do some of the most mind blowing sequential illustrations you've ever seen.

We are but a small part of Starfest which sports not only the Comic Fest area where Kevin, Dan and I can be found in artists alley but also horror fest and Sci Fi fest. Lots of celebrities will be in attendance like Summer Glau of Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Marina Sirtis from Star Trek The Next generation and many others.

Check out the link below and come meet me in artists alley at Comic fest.

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.
