Happy Halloween! "Freaks That Carry Your Luggage Up to the Room" is NOW ON SALE!

Written By Will Viharo

My latest pulp fiction project, a gonzo-bizarro-erotica-horror-noir called FREAKS THAT CARRY YOUR LUGGAGE UP TO THE ROOM is now on sale in both print and ebook editions from Lulu, plus a Kindle edition, with global print distribution via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and sundry other online outlets in a couple of months or less. Filmmaker Vincent Cortez is working on an animated trailer that should premiere sometime before this Halloween, stay tuned. 

Speaking of Halloween, my monthly movie nite, "Forbidden Thrills" at Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge, on Monday October 24 at 7:30, will be an "Un-Halloween Party" featuring Roger Corman's sexy witchcraft saga THE UNDEAD (1957) plus the ghoulish spookshow THE UNEARTHLY (also 1957) starring John Carradine and Tor Johnson. Both flicks feature Allison "50 Foot Woman" Hayes, one of the most beautiful scream queens in B Movie history. There'll be the usual prizes, free popcorn, surprise shorts and Pulp Cocktails, too.

Also now on sale: Bachelor Pad Magazine #17, another pictorial plethora of pinup pulchritude, along with my regular film column, this one on the timely topic of Zombies!

But I'm really gratified to be offering my own artistic output this Halloween season (my favorite time of year, along with Christmas) rather than merely hosting someone else's work, on screen or stage. 
Cheers.
Will Viharo
