BIO
MARGARET CHO. Comedian. Actor. Musician. Advocate. Entrepreneur. Five-time Grammy and Emmy nominee. When hasn’t Margaret Cho’s strong voice been part of our consciousness? It feels like she has always been here, like a friend you can always count on, lighting the path for other women, other members of underrepresented groups, other performers, to follow. Margaret staunchly supports the causes that are important to her: anti-racism, anti-bullying, gay rights, all while fulfilling her successful creative side with a legendary stand up career that has yielded 10-plus comedy tours. Her recent television & movie roles include HULU’s smash Fire Island, Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex, guest starring on Dying For Sex (FX), The Flight Attendant (HBO Max), Hacks (HBO Max), Percy Jackson and The Olympians (Disney) and two Netflix is a Joke comedy specials including Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution. Margaret’s latest film, All That We Love, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, earning Margaret rave reviews. Margaret, who Vogue magazine named one of the 9 best female comedians of all time, alongside Joan Rivers, Gilda Radner and Wanda Sykes, appreciates where she finds herself right now. “I think comedians in general, we get better as we get older, and we kind of get more observant, and more astute in those observations."

Strange Love
![]() |
| I Give In To Sin Mark Patton & Freddy Krueger |
Freddy & Jesse sitting in a dream...
Remember the heavily gay subtext of A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge? Of course you do it's notoriety has only increased with time.
Well here's a shot of the betrothed couple Jesse Walsh (Mark Patton) & Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund)
I rewatched this not too long ago for the first time since it came out and I must say I'm surprised that it even got made. Honestly I know I referred to the gay elements in it as subtext, but let's face it there was nothing subtle about it.
Mark Patton does make a great Scream Queen and Robert Englund will always be Freddy Krueger no matter who else may play him in future endeavors.
Congratulations to the happy couple!

| Creepy Crawlers |
This photo was taken at the Goth Hotel in Hollywood, CA. For the record the Goth Hotel is not an actual Hotel, but a place a friend of mine was housesitting. A quite spooky place I might add.
All the decor was creepy crawlers and other such macabre items.
How many creepy crawlers do you see in this photo. I spy three with my evil eyes.
Boo!
TGIF! 15 days until Halloween!!!

I pull my shirt off and pray
I'm saving myself to suffer the heat wave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day, aw" - Election Day, Arcadia
Here are some election tips: Vote early (as you can see I did) if possible put your ballot in a drop box rather than mailing it, for obvious reasons. Now just do it!
Please don't mess with me, I'll dig your granny up and use her as a Halloween decoration, tis the season after all
BTW Nudes are overrated. Send me a video of you reading out loud so I know you aren't dumb. The more you know...
Even The Twilight Zone isn't this f#cked up, think about it, but not too much
I know I'm late to the game just started binging Only Murders in the Building. What a well done, fun show Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez make the perfect trio.
John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) just received a 30 minute standing ovation from me in my bedroom after viewing it for the 100th time.
I refuse to feel shame for embracing my _______ nature. Time to own it Minions, the blank is yours to fill in
Can't wait to see the restored, uncensored, director's cut of Ken Russell's The Devils tomorrow. I love this film and am excited the see it the way it was meant to be seen.
Woman Crush of the Week - Vanessa Redgrave who plays Sister Jeanne a sexually obsessed nun in The Devils. There is no one else who cold have pulled this off, she's amazing!
Reminder Horror Fans (like me): Crystal Lake the Friday the 13th prequel series drops today on Peacock.
Remember your first visit to a Haunted House? I do...
Things that make you go hmmm...a 22 year old model got a nose job so her future kids will inherit her new nose not her "ugly nose"
Hitting The Horror Show Exhibition at the Academy Museum sometime in the next couple of weeks
I'm craving a Goldburger presently, yummy!

Hump Day & Chill
| Alexander Skarsgard |
Here's the sexy Alexander Skarsgard at the premiere of his latest Wicker. Here's the synposis:
"On the outskirts of a village by the sea, lives a Fisherwoman; smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbors, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos."
Alexander plays the man made of Wicker, naturally.
What's that you ask? Why would one Hump Day & Chill to this? Wait for it...
See what it says on his shirt???
"Yes" please... now Hump Day & Chill to THAT!!!

Where The Wild Roses Grow
![]() |
| Everything's Coming Up Roses Kylie Minogue & Nick Cave |
One of my favorite duets is Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue "Where The Wild Roses Grow" off of his brilliant 1996 album Murder Ballads (Yes, I have it.)
The concept for the album goes like this:
"As a traditional musical genre, murder ballads date back to 17th-century Europe, where street singers and broadside ballads functioned as early forms of crime reporting or "oral tabloids" detailing real or fictional crimes of passion."
I won't give away any of the story you can cut to the video and enjoy it after the jump!
Tis the season after all...18 days till Halloween, Silver Shamrock IYKYK

Here's something to kick off your weekly grind. "Yes" it's a BTS image from the classic Creature From The Black Lagoon.
Here's some "Creature Feature" trivia: The 1954 classic horror film Creature from the Black Lagoon used dual actors, split locations, and innovative underwater filming techniques to bring the Gill-man to life
The gentleman pictured is Rico Browning . He performed without a scuba tank or goggles, holding his breath for up to four minutes at a time.
Impressive...
Hello Monday...time to get your creature on!!!

"Carrie" Turns 50

| "Crazy Carrie" |
Last night I attended the 50th Anniversary Screening of the Brian DePalma classic "Carrie" at Hollywood Forever Cemetery as a VIP with my friend Scott Jacobs in tow.
The evening was hosted by Janelle Monae and it was a blast! I was too young to see "Carrie" when it first opened in theaters, thus my only experience viewing it has been relegated to video until now...
Seeing it blown up in epic proportions at Hollywood Forever it made much more of an impact, I must say. Anyway catch a vicarious thrill and enjoy my images from last night's to do.

Michael's Musings

We've Met Before, Haven't We?
Michael Shinafelt
Boo! Hello Minions! As you know it's my favorite time of the year October, not least because of Halloween happening all month long. I am a hard one to give a good scare to, or to get creeped out over something, But it does happen on occasion.
Thus the photo above is a homage to Robert Blake as "Mystery Man" in David Lynch's Lost Highway. Every time he appeared on screen a sense of dread and fear washed over me. It was one of those lightning in a bottle experiences, the images of him still haunt me to this day. That's all...
Just found out that female penguins will exchange sex for nice rocks. So if you're having a sh!t day, just remember that hooker penguins exist
Did one of those which Halloween character are you things online. Turns out I'm Annabelle, go figure
Hitting the 50th Anniversary Screening of Carrie at Hollywood Forever Cemetery this Saturday. Can't wait to see the ending in that setting! IYKYK!!!
I love how in horror movies the person yells out "Hello?" as if the killer is gonna yell out, "In the kitchen, want a sandwich?"
BTW if you believe forcing God into schools will improve morality, I'm gonna need you to explain why it didn't work in your church...I'm waiting!!!
Saw a great indie revenge film called Violation on Tubi. It's definitely has it's own unique POV and well worth watching.
While Googling, very few letters are as important as the "R" in Gary Oldman, think about it, but not too much
Did you know Charles Manson and Ted Bundy were lovers on the Titanic, it's true - Ryan Murphy, probably
Woman Crush of the Week - The Queen of Spooky Season Sarah Michelle Gellar not just for Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Helen Shivers from I Know What You Did Last Summer is iconic as well. Were not worthy!
The only difference between "Religion" and "Superstition" is the spelling. The more you know.
Who's the biggest slut in the pumpkin patch??? Tell me
Repeat after me: "I'm too amazing to be someone's unsure thing"
"I wish the world thought more like a gay man" - Shannen Doherty
Parting Thought: What kind of creatures do you see in your dreams when you take off brand melatonin???
