M.E. Franco Is Horrifying!

The Night SHE Came Home!
M.E. Franco

Here is comes again, ya know, Halloween - which means it's time for me to have my Holiday chat about the most hallowed time of the year with fellow horror enthusiast and author of the supernatural "Dion" book series M.E. Franco!

Much like Norman Bates' Mother, M.E. is off her rocker...just the way we like her!

MS: If you were a serial killer, which serial killer would you be and why? (this can be fictional or non-fictional)

ME: Dexter, hands down.

I'm Number 2!

MS: Who would you cast in films as the male leads in your Dion series of books?

ME: That's a tough one. When I write, I have a character so completely formed in my head, it's hard to pick someone else to play them.

MS: Are you watching American Horror Story: Apocalypse? If so gimme your thoughts?

ME: I haven't watched the last few seasons, but from what I've heard, I may binge watch this season. Sounds like it might be worth checking out.

What's Angry, Horny & Red All Over?
Satan!

MS: OK, Satan offers you the chance to sell your soul for everything you have ever dreamed about. But there is a catch (you know Satan) you offer a sacrifice of something living. What, or who would that be?

ME: Does it have to be someone I like? I'd happily offer him the neighbor lady behind me. She's a hag, and she's mean to her pets. I'd happily "This is Sparta" kick her into the pit.

I'm Your Boogeyman!
Jamie Lee Curtis & Michael Myers

MS: Excited for the Halloween movie? (I am!)

ME: YEEEEEEESSSSS!! I can't wait!

MS: What's most scary to you being locked in a cell with Hannibal Lecter, or having dinner with Donald Trump?

ME: Better to eat dinner than be dinner.

Let's Have A Kiki
Jason Vorhees

MS: If you click your heels together three times and say Jason Vorhees, Jason Vorhees, Jason Vorhees what happens?

ME: Suddenly, no one wants to go camping with you anymore. Whatever.

MS: Ever encountered a Werebeaver?

ME: You just made me laugh so hard. Thankfully, no. No zombeavers either. LOL

"A Naked American Man Stole My Balloons"
David Naughton (looking good)
In
"An American Werewolf in London"

MS: Did you ever fantasize after seeing An American Werewolf in London that David Naughton in Werewolf form would come in at you for the kill and then all of the sudden revert back to his human form and be standing naked in front of you?

ME: Enough times that I think he probably could have gotten a restraining order.

MS: What's the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?

ME: I almost got abducted in the 4th grade. I was walking home from my friend's house, when a man pulled up next to me in a white car. He said my parents had been in a car accident, and he'd been sent to pick me up. Thankfully, I had just turned down my street, so I could see that both of my parents' cars were in front of our house. When I told him that, he took off. It wasn't until after he left, that I realized what he was doing., so I ran home and told my mom. That scared the crap out of me for a long time.

MS: Treats are so overrated. Name a favorite tricks you have played on someone.

ME: We took my grandmother and great-aunt on a tour of Alcatraz at their request. At one point during the tour, they put our group in a solitary confinement cell and closed the door, so we could see how dark it was. I took the chance to grab my great aunt in the butt with much gusto to freak her out. Unfortunately, in mid grab, I saw the flash of a camera. I'm sure some poor family got quite a surprise when they got their vacation photos developed.

"You Poor Unfortunate Soul"
Ursula

MS: What Disney villainess would you most like to be?

ME: I love the ocean, so I want to say Ursula, but damn she's mean!

MS: Finally what do you want on your Tombstone (I am not talking about the frozen pizza)?

ME: "She always made us laugh."

Laugh with M.E. @ -

Just Because...Trio

Threesome
l-r
Gina Rodriguez, Natalie Portman & George Clooney 

Just Because he looks so rejuvenated, Just Because she looks great without make-up & Just Because she always looks smashing - I hereby bring to you the trio of Gina Rodriguez, Natalie Portman & George Clooney.

This is what happens when you get a virgin named Jane, Jackie O and a former womanizer in the same vicinity. It's called a fantastic photo-op.

So what brought these strange bedfellows together? Rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong - naturally.

Oh, OK it was actually Variety's Power of Women event in Beverly Hills, CA. 

Now aren't you happy? Seriously, I am.

Go Just Because something. Do it and do it now!

The Witch Is Back!

Spellbound
Sandy Zacky

There are a few traditions every Season of the Witch here at Entertain Me and one of them is to acknowledge The Supreme. "Yes" that's correct fiends, we give tribute to EM's resident vocalist supreme Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky.

Every Halloween her stirring rendition of "Witchcraft" appears to put a spell on you and this year is no exception.

What's that you say? Nothing magical is going to take you over? Ha! I've heard that one before and trust, you will not be able to resist the magic of The Supreme. That's why she has the title, duh.

It's time to hitch a ride Sandy with a "Y" not "E" and take a journey of the musical kind - is she a good witch or a bad witch? Does it matter? Not really as long as she has "Witchcraft" to guide you.

Surrender creatures of the night and feel the magic below...

Michael's Musings

We Are Living In An Ethereal World
Michael Shinafelt

20 more days 'till Halloween, Halloween, Silver Shamrock! That's correct peeps it's only 20 more days until Halloween. Nothing, quite frankly scares me more than the current state of the union. 

But most of all we all need to focus on what makes us happy during these trying times. Let's get excited, and be, be, be obscene!

I'm vulgar AF - deal with it!

Dear Donald Trump - I wanna be there when a cactus dry humps your ass. Sincerely, one of your biggest fans

Met up with E.G. Daily this week and chatted about her upcoming single and movement "So Pretty" wait for it...

It's October, mark me down as scared and horny

The American Music Awards happened??? I know this only because there were headlines about them after, but when were they actually?

My ultimate goal? Someone mean Tweets me and I get to go on Jimmy Kimmel Live and read it

Lady Gaga's ex, Taylor Kinney is praising her performance in A Star Is Born. Now you can sleep peacefully.

What horror archetype do you have sexual fantasies about?

I saw Mommy kissing Jack Skellington underneath the Jack-O-Lantern

Byline of the week: "Cardi B. proves naysayers wrong at AMAS - she can have it all!" Well Okee Dokee then 

Michael Myers

Michael Myers, Michael Myers, Michael Myers

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —Only this, and nothing more." - The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe

If I keep you safe, will you keep me wild?

Bring me something that will rock my world! Do it deadbeat and do it now!

I just tripped on a ghost and got a big boo boo!

Your on the hunt, your after me at:

In Today's "Alarm"ing News...

Mike Peters And The Alarm To Celebrate Acclaimed New Album EQUALS by kick starting Fall North American Tour with acoustic performance at Kulak’s Woodshed.

Watch “Beautiful” from EQUALS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgXrHpduUjQ

• Fall 2018 N. American Tour Confirmed; See Dates Below

• The Alarm to participate in the Love Hope Strength Foundation - Rock The Canyons, a unique fundraiser where supporters will trek with the band to a concert in the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas finale, Oct 14-21, 2018

• Third annual celebration of The Alarm "New York Gathering" confirmed for April 12 & 13, 2019

The Alarm, will ignite their 19-date North American tour promoting Equals (the critically lauded new album which has simultaneously put the band back on the charts on both sides of the Atlantic), by performing an acoustic set at Kulak’s Woodshed in Los Angeles on October 24^th before appearing at the legendary Roxy Theater on Sunset Boulevard, the very next night on October 25^th.  It’s been 31 years since The Alarm have performed at The Roxy, so this is sure to be a special night and exciting way to kick off the North American tour.

Prior to the tour, Mike Peters and The Alarm are also taking part in the Love Hope Strength Foundation fund-raising trek Rock The Canyons from Oct. 14-20, 2018 which will take the band, cancer survivors, supporters and musicians (including Robin Wilson of Gin Blossoms and Billy Duffy of The Cult), into the depths of The Grand Canyon to perform a unique concert followed by a Golf Day and finale event at the ARCIS Desert Pines Golf Club in Las Vegas on Oct. 20. One of the best natural wonders of the world on one of the best charity events imaginable!

The Alarm recently performed atop the LIVE Nation building in New York attracting over 100,000 Facebook Live viewers while announcing dates for the tour and their third annual New York Gathering which will take place April 12-13, 2019 at both the Gramercy Theatre and Irving Plaza.

Both events will feature two very special and unique Alarm concert experiences.

On Friday April 12, at the Gramercy Theatre, The Alarm will perform in full, the exact same set list as presented during their historic 'Spirit Of '86 Concert' that was broadcast globally by MTV on April 12, 1986. This anniversary concert will also coincide with the re-release date for The Alarm's STRENGTH album which is being re-mastered and made available in record stores around the world also on April 12, 2019. The title song 'Strength' gave it's name to the Love Hope Strength charity co-founded by three time cancer survivor, Mike Peters in 2007 that has since registered over 150,000 people to the International Bone Marrow Registry and potentially saved over 3,500 lives in the process.

On Saturday April 13, The Alarm will perform a second full electric set at the prestigious Irving Plaza in New York, where fans can expect to hear all the very best Alarm music that has resonated with North American audiences since the release of The Stand back in 1983 and endured to the present day, through the release of new album Equals.
