What I Read in 2014 (offered with little comment)

In 2014, I read a total of 28 books (11 print books, 39%; 17 eBooks, 61%). I don't know what it says about me, if anything at all, that I read more books on my Kindle than those in a dead tree format.

What I Watched in 2014 (offered with little comment)

In 2014, I watched a total of 242 movies. Instead of simply keeping tabs on my movie consumption last year, I also tracked how I saw the film and whether or not I'd seen the movie before. As before, I also included short films/relevant special features in my tally. In some cases, the numbers and percentages surprised me while in other cases, they did not.

Seen in a theater: 76 (31%) Seen on video: 82 (34%) Seen on video (projected outside): 0 (0%) Seen on blu-ray: 33 (14%) Seen streaming: 28 (12%) Seen at a drive-in: 0 (0%) Seen on TCM: 18 (7%) Seen on  MeTV: 4 (2%)

Feature length: 153 (63%) Short: 89 (37%) First time? 199 (83%) Repeat viewing? 43 (17%)

I was surprised that I'd only watched 4 movies on MeTV. All of those movies would have been hosted by Svengoolie, and I could have sworn I watched more Svengoolie in 2014. In fact, I thought I'd watched more horror hosted programming period, but I either failed to note the movie in my Google doc or I just watched the horror host segments without watching the movie itself. Either scenario is likely as I've been known to do both. (In fact, I just realized I didn't add the screening of the original Godzilla that Monster Kid Radio crashed at the Hollywood Theatre in May, so I'll make that correction. I also didn't record the hours of having the Kreepy Kastle up and running on my computer.)

I know I didn't go to the drive-in at all in 2014, and I'm a little disappointed in that. Some times, it was due to a scheduling conflict (the local drive-in showed the original Godzilla during the same weekend as the World Horror Convention, for example).

(I think for 2015, I'll add a horror host field to my final count.)

Still here, still writing, still podcasting

Those who follow me on Facebook know I've had a lot going on in my personal life - the passing of my grandmother, flying back and forth to Arizona to help my mother, my grandparents' house catching fire earlier this week, etc. There have been some amazingly bright spots, as well - the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival & CthulhuCon, etc.

Through all of this, Plan D has suffered, but I have something brewing I think people (at least a few, and they know who they are) are going to dig.

I'm going to finally get around to watching the movies that make up the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and I'll be documenting that journey here. I have the first film - Iron Man - sitting at home courtesy of Netflix, and I'll be diving into that soon. Why did it take me so long to get around to watching these movies? I'll address that, too. (I also reserve the right to pull the plug on this if I just can't get into the movies. I'm going to try, but . . . )

Monster Kid Radio is going strong (and nominated for a Rondo Award!). 1951 Down Place is going strong (and nominated for a Parsec Award!). And writing-wise? Lots of things in the pipeline . . .

Plan D's Horror Hall of Fame - 2014

Inspired by Rich, the Monster Movie Kid, and Barry at Monsterminions, I started Plan D's Horror Hall of Fame last year. I want this to be an annual event, so here's Year Two!

First, to repeat from last year, we're using the following definition from The Script Lab:

Horror film is a genre that aims to create a sense of fear, panic, alarm, and dread for the audience.

In Year One of Plan D's Horror Hall of Fame, we used 1973 (the year The Exorcist was released) as the cut-off point between "classic" and "monster" horror films. However, starting this year, we're changing the year. Instead of 1973, we're going to use 1968 as our cut off between "classic" and "modern." Night of the Living Dead was released in 1968, and we'll use this milestone moving forward for future Horror Hall of Fame entries here at Plan D.

We will stick to the same categories used last year (while changing the Special Make-Up category to Special Effects), and will again name three entrants in each category. Now, without further ado, here are your 2014 Plan D Horror Hall of Fame honorees!
