With … Continue reading

With Bold and Dark Imagery, Erin Martinez Delivers a Prelude to the Halloween Season. The Hyaena Gallery of Burbank hosted the opening of artist Erin Martinez’s latest show Awakening, an expose of the artist’s newest creative work. Erin works in several types of media, however, her main form is water based acrylics on canvas.

Jonathan Sharp walked into a friend’s house recently weighed down with bags of food and started unpacking them. “This is a Moroccan stew that I made last night. And I brought a cornish game hen. I thought we could have this too since I already made it.” He had been invited to dinner and had earlier asked his host if he should bring anything. He was told that nothing was needed. “Do you like key lime pie? I had one … Continue reading
Raleigh Studios hosts the 8th annual horror film festival that started it all. And Denise Gossett wants to scare you! Denise Gossett is the mastermind behind Shriekfest. Nine years ago she starred in a horror film called Chain of Souls. When she asked the producers and director what their plans were for releasing the film, she was shocked to hear it was going straight to video. She suggested submitting it to film festivals. To her surprise, the filmmakers told her … Continue reading
I first came upon actress/writer Fia Perera while she was doing stand-up comedy and I’ve been a fan ever since. Her latest solo show, Swimming Naked, about her charged relationship with the über WASP trip that is her mother, is currently making the rounds as a film script. Her bi (coastal and career) ways keep her darting back and forth between NYC and LA acting gigs and comedy clubs. On the acting side, she will appear with Harrison Ford, Ashley … Continue reading
Kristin’s List, the Los Angeles cultural listing site, is the best of its kind in a city long mocked for its supposed cultural bereft-ness by callous East Coast sophisticates (like me.) Kristin Bedford defies that cliché with cold, hard facts and winnows the dizzying cornucopia of events and activities on offer in LA to a highly selective, manageable directory– from intellectual to frivolous, fun to enriching, sometimes all at the same time and with big potential for rewarding the curiosity … Continue reading
A native Angeleno, composer/music producer Robert Oriol composes music for theatre and film in the Los Angeles area. He is currently producing a series of rock music workout CDs for The Gymrattz Collective. What’s your favorite scary movie? Night of the Living Dead, of course! Any costume plans for this year? I’m considering dressing up as Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter, pregnancy test in hand and mascara streaming down my cheeks.
LA Times columnist Meghan Daum on her costume last year: It always fascinates me how on Halloween women want to dress up like sluts and men want to dress up like women. Maybe I’ll go as a man dressed as a woman dressed as a slut. But I’d really like to get my hands on one of those vending machine costumes they apparently use in Japan to avoid muggers. Last Halloween season, in our Creepy Questions series CreepyLA interviewed some … Continue reading
Born in City Terrace, Antonio Villaraigosa is a lifelong resident of Los Angeles. He was elected mayor in 2005 and is the first Latino mayor of Los Angeles since Mayor Cristóbal Aguilar led the city in 1872, when its population was barely 6,000. He also served in the California State Assembly, where he was named Speaker, as well as on the Los Angeles City Council representing the 14th district. What do you love about Halloween in Los Angeles? What I … Continue reading
Actor David Arquette’s directorial debut, the comedy/slasher “The Tripper,” came out on video last week (add it to your Netflix queue, or win a copy of the DVD), starring Jason Mewes (the talky one of the Jay and Silent Bob duo), Lukas Haas, Jaime King, Thomas Jane, and Paul Reubens. Oh, and Stephen Heath. Heath doesn’t earn poster credit, but he shares as much screen time as almost anyone, including the killer. If you’ve seen “The Tripper,” he’s the one … Continue reading
