As usual I'm posting this late but I was again surprised when I got a press release, and not from Skip. When I asked, after of course agreeing, I got this as a response: " I've been scouring the internet for every legitimate looking horror blog". If I get 1000 followers I still doubt that I'll ever get use to that. Director/writer Josh Heisie offered to let me view upon completion which means another Horror Short for all of you.
