Night of the Living Trekkies Book

Night of the Living Trekkies Book
Night of the Living Trekkies is the perfect book for this time of year when we celebrate Halloween and fear all kinds of ghosts and ghouls. And zombies. Jim Pike seems like a mild-mannered nerd and is the world’s biggest Star Trek fan, but when hundreds of Trekkies arrive for a science-fiction convention, he is quickly surrounded by Klingons, Vulcans, and a strange virus that transforms its carriers flesh-eating zombies!

Yeah, that sounds like my kind of book. Trek and Zombies make this one a winning combination.

Star Wars The Ultimate Vinyl Collection Original Soundtrack

star wars vinyl
Star Wars would have still been good if the music had been different, but it is Oscar-winning composer John Williams score that makes them legendary. Well now you can get the Star Wars soundtracks on Vinyl. Again. The Star Wars The Ultimate Vinyl Collection Original Soundtrack includes all six films, restored from their original masters and boasting the classic and original artwork.

The six individual albums come in gatefold jackets on 180-gram vinyl and include a digital download card for one complete box set of all six soundtracks. I fell in love with these soundtracks as a kid and it was really something magical to be able to listen to the music and re-live scenes from the movie in my head. Or maybe pretend I was being trained by Yoda in the swamp. Or outrunning TIE-Fighters. Great stuff.

Also available on Amazon.

Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy started with Batman Begins, which explored Batman’s origins. The Dark Knight raised the stakes, pitting Batman against the Joker. Then The Dark Knight Rises completed the arc.

It is based on in-depth interviews with Nolan and all of the films’ key cast and crew and explores the creative process behind the epic Dark Knight Trilogy, with amazing art and never-before-seen photography.
