While attending Comic Con, a friend was nice enough to get me an autographed 8×10 from Chris Sarandon’s table. As a vampire enthusiast and 80s movie buff, I requested a photo of Jerry Dandrige from the original Fright Night—a horror/comedy cult classic and the main inspiration for my upcoming series of tongue-in-cheek monster novels.

One of Miller’s earliest roles was that of Sergeant Neil in Roger Corman’s It Conquered the World—a Z-grade science fiction film about aliens from Venus who, like the Borg Collective in Star Trek, attempt to […]
