HELLO AND GOODBYE!


 
 
Hello my fellow Genre Guardians!
For those few who still are following this blog, you may have noticed I have not posted any type of written review or article since February of this year. I did manage to post the last sequence of The Zombzany Meets Blood E. Bones video, but have not added any video content since that last one in April. The reason for my lack of posting on Guardians of the Genre is simply that I have been busy working on other projects. I have been working on these projects under my real name and not under the pseudonym: Fritz “Doc” Freak. As anyone who blogs knows, using a pseudonym allows a certain amount of creative freedom that posting under one’s real name does not. While writing as “Doc” Freak, I initially kept in character while posting on Guardians of the Genre, but as time went by, I found this too restricting and ended up writing in my own voice.
These past three years posting on Guardians of the Genre have been great fun for the most part, but writing non-fiction has never been one of my favorite types of writing. I much prefer fiction writing, as I hope showed in some of my descriptions of the Zombzany videos would indicate. This blog lends itself to mostly non-fiction writing and that is why I’ve decided to move on to other things and stop blogging on Guardians of the Genre. In case anyone is wondering why some of the other characters on this blog cannot continue writing on Guardians of the Genre in my absence, the simple answer is that I am all of the characters; which include not only Fritz “Doc” Freakenstein, but Bill E. Bones, Major Mac Maniac and Zombzany as well. The only other person to write for this blog was my good friend, who wrote under the pseudonym Professor Phileas Photon. Unfortunately, “Phileas” is not interested in writing on any kind of consistent basis, so he will be unable to keep Guardians of the Genre up and running either. The main character of all my posted videos, Zombzany the Necromancer, was played in the videos by another good friend of mine. Unfortunately, I have not have had contact with him for many years and have been posting these videos in the hope that he might find them in the vastness of cyberspace and contact me. However, that has not occurred, so I fear Zombzany’s true “voice” will never be heard on Guardians of the Genre either.
I want to conclude this final posting by thanking all 44 followers of Guardians of the Genre and especially to the people that took the time to comment on my various posts here. A special thank you goes to The Sci-Fi Fanatic, with whom I have had many stimulating discussions both here and on his blog Musings of a Sci-Fi Fanatic. I also want to thank Francisco Gonzalez of The Film Connoisseur, John Kenneth Muir of John Kenneth Muir's Reflections on Film/TV and Johnny Thunder of Johnny Thunder's Midnight Spook Frolic. I will continue to upload more Zombzany videos to YouTube, so anyone who wants to watch more new Zombzany and Fritz “Doc” Freakenstein adventures will be able to do so at http://www.youtube.com/user/FritzDocFreak?feature=mhee
Thanks all you wicked cool readers of Guardians of the Genre!

ZOMBZANY MEETS BLOOD E. BONES -- PART FIVE -- BARON BONES BURIED UNDEAD




In the final installment of Zombzany Meets Blood E. Bones -- Part Five -- which I've titled “Baron Bones Buried Undead" -- Baron Blood E. Bones is sitting on Zombzany's throne unattended by his zombie manservant. Apparently, all the gory films that they have been showing on the all-vampire marathon has made Blood E. thirsty and during the film had ordered Zombzany to fetch him a bottle of blood from one of Zombzany’s vintage vaults. While awaiting Zombzany’s return, Baron Blood E. Bones fills in for Zombzany by telling his viewers how Count Gore De Vol went from an out-of-work broadcast horror host, to hosting his own weekly webcast on his very own website. Returning with the bottle of blood, Zombzany places the bottle into the eager boney hands of the Baron. Not wanting to wait another minute to swill down the bloody brew, Baron Blood E. Bones orders Zombzany to introduce the next feature film, Dracula 2000. Zombzany’s less-than-flattering description of the film causes the Baron to question Zombzany, but Zombzany assures the Baron that he is just having some fun with the film. Baron Blood E. Bones enthusiastically orders “Doc” Freak to start the movie.



Returning from the movie, Baron Blood E. Bones is obviously impatient to watch the final fangtastic feature, until Zombzany reminds him that the viewers may want to know where the video tapes of Count Gore De Vol that they have been watching might be procured. Perhaps slightly drunk on the bottled blood, the Baron humors his undead slave and allows Zombzany one last monologue. Baron Blood E. Bones then goes on to describe in deathly detail the many things that make the last film of the marathon, The Forsaken, a “bloody good show.”


Once the film has concluded, Baron Blood E. Bones begins to realize that both Zombzany and “Doc” Freak appear to have disappeared from the cemetery during its run. The Baron grabs the camera off the tripod where Freak had left it and proceeds to search the perimeter of Zombzany’s cemetery for either of his missing manservants. Finally, Baron Blood E. Bones sees “Doc” Freak standing next to an abandoned tool shed in some sort of hypnotic state. Distracted by Freak, the Baron is unaware of someone who has snuck up behind him and pushed him forcefully to the ground. Impeded by unknown forces, Baron Blood E. Bones is unable to get out of what appears to be a shallow grave that he has fallen in, when he sees a familiar formidable figure looming at the edges of his increasingly foggy vision. Crying out in vain, Baron Blood E. Bones is slowly but steadily being buried alive!



Enjoy Zombzany Meets Blood E. Bones -- Part Five -- Baron Bones Buried Undead!

ALL NEW DOCTOR WHO!




Doctor Who fans like me will be watching the first new episode of Doctor Who tonight, on BBC America at 8pm EST, since last year’s Christmas Special. This is technically the 6th episode of season 7, but it is the first episode of The Doctor with his new companion, Clara, so it almost feels like a new season.



The episode is entitled The Bells of Saint John. It is described as: The Doctor’s search for Clara Oswald brings him to modern day London, where Wi-Fi is everywhere. Humanity lives in a Wi-Fi soup, but something dangerous is lurking in the signals, picking off minds and imprisoning them. As Clara becomes the target of this insidious menace, the Doctor races to save her and the world from an ancient enemy.



Watch the BBC America-Exclusive Trailer for the All New Episodes of DOCTOR WHO *** Premiering SATURDAY MARCH 30 at 8/7c *** Presented by Supernatural Saturday, only on BBC America.

Immediately followed by the World Premiere of New BBC AMERICA Original Series ORPHAN BLACK at 9/8c and the new season of BBC AMERICA Original Series THE NERDIST at 10/9c.

Through all of time and space, the unknown is everywhere. But sometimes, the universe's greatest mystery is the person right next to you...

"I look at you every single day and I don't understand a thing about you."
"You're the Impossible Girl, the only mystery worth solving..."

In these episodes, The Doctor (MATT SMITH) is joined by his new companion Clara (JENNA-LOUISE COLEMAN) for the latest set of incredible adventures through space and time. The duo finds new adversaries and familiar friends around every corner as they journey from the bottom of the ocean in a submarine to the center of the TARDIS and beyond. The Cybermen make a thunderous return and the Ice Warrior arrives in an unexpected place.



In the premiere, a modern-day urban thriller called "The Bells of Saint John" written by lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat (Sherlock) and set in London against the backdrop of new & old iconic landmarks, a new nemesis - the Spoonheads - battle the Doctor as he discovers something sinister is lurking in the Wi-Fi.
