UPDATE
Hi, folks. As usual, I apologize for not being on the board for so long but I can report it's not do to laziness. I've made more steam on Header 3, which so far is delightfully perverse, and I'm coming along well in my movie endeavors. The producers of the first ABC's of Death are doing a sequel and have opened the letter M to the public, so to speak; in other words, anyone can submit a short film to this contest as long as it entail someone dying that is relative to the letter M. I have a little ditty almost done and am doing the editing now (let me tell you, editing and especially SOUND editing is the hardest part of making a movie!) The deadline is Oct 31st and it doesn't look like I can get it all done, edited and properly rendered by them, but I'll be damned if I'm not gonna try! Even if I miss the deadline, I'll have a neat little teaser for my website. I can't wait for you all to see it (or at least I THINK I can't wait!) Everybody have a great week!

Lee, sound editing is the fucking bane of my existence! I am pulling an all nighter here trying to finish up the sound fx for The Stall and it's killing me. Making all the tentacle sounds is so goddamn tedious. If I ever have to look at another bowl of pasta or bottle of hair conditioner again it will be too soon!
Good luck with the short, I am very anxious to see it finished!

Being away on account of making cool stuff never needs an apology. Now if you were ghostwriting Glee episodes or shooting Miley Cyrus fan videos, that would be apology territory. Any teaser-type stuff you could share with us about H3?

Saw a silly fake product page on Adult Swim's site, and figured that even if this product doesn't exist in our world, there has to be a plant somewhere in the Lee-verse dedicated to producing them. http://www.adultswim.com/articles/glory ... 1381270315

Demonizer and Veryevildead: I'm not ready to post an excerpt for H3 yet but I will eventually. Nevertheless, thanks very much for your patience and continue support. There are a couple of fellas--actually FOUR fellas, quintuplets--who make the original Travis and Grandpappy Martin look like Disney characters, plus some new "modes of dispatch" that I think are new to the genre and cool as hell. Every time I make headway, though, I keep having to deal with more family health matters where I gotta drop everything and jump on a plane to visit a sick relative or go to a funeral. (In fact, I was just in NYC and Greenwich CT last week for this purpose--but I manage to make a day to hang out with Jack Ketchum at this cool Japanese bar called Amber. And Ketchum, as always, is just plain COOL. He's like the Mickey Rourke of horror writers!) Anyway, I'm back in FL now, just getting back on Header 3 and the movie yet I'll probably have to fly to Denver very soon for more family matters. But with all this, I ain't complaining, and work is proceeding well. (And, Reelsplatter, I hear ya about the audio editing. I had to buy a new computer yesterday so I can run Movie Maker and Sony Vegas more effectively.) Anyway, folks, thanks hugely for your patience and endless support! I hope to have interesting news soon.
Best Edward Lee PS--H3 is set in present day; hence there are no characters from the original...but you all just gave me a great idea to change that! Thanks!

This is great news, of all your works I think the Header series are my favourite. I can wait for Header 3. Header 2 is one of the finest books I own. Great story, fab illusustrations. I can't wait to see where the theme takes us next!
I was assailed by many technical gremlins with my 2nd clip for ABC's of Death: the computer crashed, the editing program screwed me, and much more. I tried to recut the clip on a different computer and editing program but ran out of time before the deadline. Oh, well, it was a great learning experience! I'll have the clip on vimeo eventually anyway (I bought yet another editing program, this one called Power Director; and it seems to work great). I'm afraid my first clip, Making it with a Magus has died on the vine; if they ever do another contest like this, I'll be ready next time and strategize on facebook exposure. I shot a few more movies scenes recently (and there's a great vomit segment!) while work on Header 3 progresses. Unfortunately, another relative just died so I have to go back to NYC/CT tomorrow, but will be back to work by Friday. Everybody have a good week!
Thanks, got back 2 nights ago. Here's how ridiculous I am: it didn't occur to me to take a COAT to NYC in mid-November; I just thought "Oh, I won't need one. How cold can it be? Besides, I'll be inside most of the time." Well, I WASN'T inside most of the time; had to walk about a mile from the train station to funeral home in New Canaan CT. Thought I would croak before I got there, but at least I'd be conveniently close to an appropriate place. Thawed myself at the motel, then the next day I met my living uncle for dinner at the Grand Central Oyster Bar, but after he left I was determined to have sushi and an Asian beer which I knew would entail some more than modest walking in the COLD. Damn it, I thought, I'm gonna buy a coat and damn the cost. So I walked all around 43rd, Lexington, some friggin road called Vnderbilt, all over the place, in the COLD, with NO COAT, looking for a friggin STORE that sells men's clothes. Found NONE. By now, I'm blue and my teeth are chattering, so I shudder into a WOMEN's clothes store and figure I can buy a heavy sweater and wear it under my sports jacket and no one will see that I'm a MAN wearing a WOMAN's sweater. So I'm in this fussy chick store and find an appropriate sweater which would likely prevent my premature death to exposure--ah, but I don't know DICK about women's clothes sizes. I desperately rooted through the racks figuring I'd better buy something gray or black, right? I finally find a rack where the sweaters are listed in S, M, L, etc. but the only black and gray sweaters are S. Finally I find an XL, figuring that will do. It was the biggest sweater in the friggin' store as far as I could see. But it's like this candyass lavandarish color. Jeez. All right, no one will see it because I'll button my sportsjacket over it. Anyway, I buy the motherfucker--pardon my language--for 80 bucks or some shit, plus black "one size fits all" gloves, go outside, slip into Subway, remove my sports jacket and put on the lavander sweater. Well, an XL women's sweater had got to be smaller than a small men's sweater. The fuckin' thing came down to the bottom of my ribs and the sleeves were a little lower than the middle of my fuckin' forearm. Well, better than nothing, right? (Oh, and the gloves busted open when I pulled them on.) I go to button my sports jacket but to my surprise my FAT FUCKIN STOMACH is so big I can barely button it, and when I do, the button snaps off. I left the busted gloves on the street, tried to blank my mind rather than succumb to an apoplectic fit, walk God knows how far all the way around the two massive blocks on which Grand Central sits, find a sushi bar--called Amaze, good place--only to realize that it's about 30 feet from the door I originally exited to begin my clothes search, like the Wall or Eryx story by Lovecraft. Anyway, I was still freezing, but I finally got my sushi and Asian beer (actually FOUR Asian beers--Sapporos). Sat there at the bar eating sushi, drinking, watching, I think, the Kentucky game, pink-faced and chafed from the cold, FAT stomach sticking out beneath a ridiculous tiny lavander sweater (and how the HELL do you spell lavendar?) not giving a SHIT how preposterous I looked. Hence, that was the highlight of my trip to NYC. Oh, and I left the FUCKIN sweater for the maids at the LaGuardia Comfort Inn. I hope it fits them better than it fit me. Anyway, it's good to be back in FL! Ysterday I did great shoot with two sisters (one a stipper, the other a nursing student) where one "drowned" the other in a blow of Wyler's punch and then brought her back to life with a toilet plunger. Turned out pretty good! Also did a "decapitation" that, if you don't mind my saying so, looks wonderful! (check my Cityinfernalfilms.com front page on Monday where I'll post the pick. ) Back to work on Header 3 tomorrow. Everybody take care!
You crack me up, Lee. I am surprised with the millions of words you have put together in your work that you have never, not once, typed LAVENDER. Ha.
Great story. I think you could mold that into one of your own works, no?
Actually, Ketchum may be able to use it to bring Stroup back!
I have actually had Sapporo as well. Hope you liked it better than I did. I actually saved the bottle and it is currently on display in my mancave.
Piece of advice. Whenever you have a day like you had. You know, a kind of day when NOTHING goes right. Go into the closest bar and get a Jack Daniels, double, straight up. Your day will instantly get better.
Will check out the shots on the website. You are the man!

Lee, I have fucking tears streaming down my face after reading that! It seriously reads like a sitcom script! I have the most hilarious mind movie of you frantically rooting through the women's clothes rack cursing to yourself like a madman while New York socialites steal worried glances at you trying to figure out if you were dangerous or not. This whole ordeal really needs to make it into a book.
Glad you all were amused by my wee description of my latest journey to NYC. Since then I've done two more shoot, both with Fetish Models, that went great. In fact both girls were so good at assuming a role and so good at screaming and so compliant about being inundated with fake blood that I MUST have them back, even for $100 an hour. Also back to slow but sure work on Header 3 (the opening scene is what rednecks call a "truck-pull pig skinning" but, lo, it's no pig who gets skinned.) Also, I've recently seen The Conjuring (good, not great, a bit too Hollywoodish but possessed of some scenes that rank right up there with the best), The Curious Dr Hump (masterpiece of cult foreign schlock with a great line: "Use my body to keep you alive!") Psyched by the 4D Witch (I believe the print was bootlegged by videotaping a 16mm showing on a bedsheet for a screen) which was a great impetus for me trying my hand at making movies. If this hunk of crap got distributed, then I MOST CERTAINLY came be a filmmaker!; and--I may have mentioned this previously--but I also saw (and paid for!) The Room by some guy named Tommy Wasieau or smething like that, because friends of mine in Poland said it was the worst movie ever made. Well, they were right. It's the only movie that has actually offended me. It's no explicit; no gore, nothing gratuitous nor politically incorrect; not racist, not misathropic nor misogynistic, no sacrilege, nothing pro-terrorist, nothing at all. It's simply so boring and conceited that I was OFFENDED. This movie ripped off 90 minutes of my life! I want my 20 bucks AND my 90 minutes back, damn it!
