  1. Congratulations, Mustache and Beard for another wonderful launch party! The induction ceremony for the House of Whispers and Shadows revealed that I totally agreed with the viewers picks for this year’s Horror Hall of Fame Awards. Your attention to detail with the Elvira Award and the appearance of The Count was amazing! Keep those creative juices flowing!

    1. First, thank you, Lady Geek, for voting. All of your contributions make us better, and compel us to want to do better each time we sit in front of the camera. The addition of the Count was something I didn’t clear with the Beard, because he had told me to save him and Captain Chaos for Halloween, but it seemed perfect and his reaction on camera was priceless. Wearing the hats was more an homage to Marc and Mom. When I told the Beard that the hats belonged to Mom, the Beard said he’d wear them anytime. The Beard chose the Elvira Award and we put it together to be a 3D thing. I think everything worked out well, except that there were only five voters. I hope next year we will get more interaction. As always, thank you for being a follower, a fan, and such an avid supporter of our work.

My name is Louie Matos and I’m a geek. I’m such a geek that the week my best friend moved to Puerto Rico, I asked him to co-write a blog. Of course he said, “Yes!” because I’m SOOO flipping interesting, and because since we’ve known each other, we collaborate even when we don’t know we’re doing it. For the purposes of this blog, I’m the mustache. I’ve had a mustache since I was 12 years old, and I’ve never shaved it off. (We Puerto Ricans love our facial hair.) I was born into my geekdom. My Mom was a collector, and my Dad was a huge reader. So early on Dad would read to me and when he was done with the book, I would keep it until I learned to read for myself. And then I read everything, inhaling books from our school library 5 or 6 per week. When we moved to a new, safe neighborhood, I began to walk to the library, weekly. That’s when I became obsessed with books in general, and horror in particular. In Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, my brother, Marc, and I moved into the basement together. We had our own TV and because we were in the basement, Mom and Dad pretty much left us to our own devices if we let our little sister, Dee, tagalong. There in that basement we would watch creature features, chiller theatre, and horror marathons. We collected comic books, toys, and books. When we could afford our own VCR, we collected movies. So if I were to communicate my geekdom, I would say I’m a horror guy, former collector of Fangoria magazine. I still read 3 or 4 books per week (mostly horror and sci fi but practically anything.) I still read comics when I can get my hands on them (no small feat here in Puerto Rico). Dungeons and Dragons is still a must at family gatherings and we never fight about which is better (Star Wars or Star Trek). We can enjoy both. This blog will have all of that and a whole lot more. Stay tuned.
