Horror movie The Monkey’s gore is occasionally inventive, but seldom funny. Which is odd, because it advertises as a horror movie but tries to be a funny horror movie. Save your money and watch on TV.
Up to this season, Steve’s personal opinion has been that it’s okay as a tribute (to Stephen King and the eponymous movie), but rather meh as a show. Steve thinks Greg Nicotero’s show is finally hitting its stride.
Steve has been an active fan since the 1970s, when he founded the Palouse Empire Science Fiction Association and the more-or-less late MosCon in Pullman, WA and Moscow, ID, though he started reading SF/F in the early-to-mid 1950s, when he was just a sprat. He moved to Canada in 1985 and quickly became involved with Canadian cons, including ConText (’89 and ’81) and VCON. He’s published a couple of books and a number of short stories, and has collaborated with his two-time Aurora-winning wife Lynne Taylor Fahnestalk on a number of art projects. As of this writing he’s the proofreader for R. Graeme Cameron’s Polar Borealis and Polar Starlight publications. He’s been writing for Amazing Stories off and on since the early 1980s. His column can be found on Amazing Stories most Fridays.
