Cool Projects #33

I'm going to keep this edition of Cool Projects short and sweet, in mentioning a couple of this weeks New Comic Book Day releases (Nov. 13th).

Cool Projects #32

Since its Veterans Day, were going to dedicate Cool Projects #32 to a Kickstarter campaign from Top Cow Productions that I feel is worth sharing, and a wonderful cause!

Top Cow is running a Kickstarter campaign for its 'Vetranology' entitled SOLDIER STORIES to raise money for the United States Veterans' Artist Alliance (USVAA) with a 5 story anthology created by veterans who have served in military conflicts. Proceeds from the Kickstarter, after costs, will go to the USVAA.

Thanks for checking out Cool Projects #31. Sorry to keep you waiting so long, my friends! I was super busy with the Horror Host profile series. I really hope you enjoyed them!

Horror Host Profile #10: The Honorable Mentions

I'd really like to thank everyone, sincerely, for the support of the Horror Host profile series I did throughout October. Though it was very time consuming, and took away from posting much of anything else here (I do 99% of work here but always looking for contributors), I had a blast,  and enjoyed doing this. Hopefully you guys come back the geek out with me throughout the year here.

Since there are so many great personalities keeping the theme of horror hosted movies alive, that it was impossible to feature everyone! This entry to thestevestrout.com is to give a little shoutout to a few that we couldn't feature due to time mostly. I'm also including a list of links to the first 9 profiles we did in an upcoming post to share, in case you missed some. That also gives you a chance to find and share them individually so you can enter to win the Horror Host prize pack. Extra points if you're a Twitter follower or member of our Facebook page and group!

The prize pack features autographed photos from the legendary Count Gore De Vol and Svengoolie, swag from The Horror Hotel show, spooky art prints from Meagan Richard's (https://www.etsy.com/shop/meaganrichards),  DVD's from Mr Lobo and more! 

This collection of prizes is pretty epic!

To enter, just share all 9 profiles around Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Just make sure we can see you by tagging us (@thestevestrout) or use hashtags #ComicBookSwapMeet and/or #HorrorHost. Sounds like work, but it's worth it for these prizes! I plan to pick a winner Saturday night, November 9th...ironically while Svengoolie is on the air.
