Hello fiends,
I just posted a new webisode on my Youtube page. Shot, edited, foleyed, and scored in less than 24 hours. Please plaster it everywhere and anywhere =)
Meet Damien, your everyday average undead drummer!
Hope all is well,

PS. If you enjoyed the video, please leave a comment on my Youtube page. Who doesn’t love comments?
Hey fiends,
Since this week was the premier of the first two episode of a new web series called ‘Playing Dead’ that I scored, I’ve decided to post up two more short snippets of music.
The first is the short opening credits song called ‘The Art Of Playing Dead’. This is only a small piece of a much longer song that will someday be unearthed.
The second song is a piece I wrote for episode II and is entitled ‘Even Death Knows You’re Lying”.
Thanks so much for checking out the web series and please tell all your friends.
Stay weird,
~Curtis Rx
Ps. I’m also posting these up on my Myspace in case anybody wants to add them on their page.

Hey fiends,
Check out these two strange and fantastic pillows. The first was created by an artist named Keetra Dean Dixon and was created to look like a puddle of blood after a headshot.
The second pillow was created by a company called Kropserkel to look like a severed horse head.
Please buy me one of each, thank you!
Hope all is well,
~Curtis Rx
Hey fiends,
The time has come to state the things we want to achieve in the coming year, so here it goes. My new year’s resolution is to finish all the strange little projects I have lying around. It’s going to be a massive amount of work, but here is what I will get done this year.
If you have a minute to spare, please leave a comment on this post and let me know what your new year’s resolutions are.
Hope all is well,
~Curtis Rx
Ps. If I can find the time, I’d also like to train falcons to deliver coded messages for me so I can save some money on my phone bill and because message by falcon is so much cooler than a text.
Hello fiends,
I just wanted to post this video and give you an introduction to the Naree Pon flower pod fairies. Enjoy!
What happens if you are a vegetarian and just happen to snack on one of these poor little guys, is it animal or plant?
Stay weird,

Hello fiends,
Listen up Starbucks, this is what a coffee machine should look like. This Saeco Etienne Louis espresso machine is a gene-spliced abomination that looks like a cross between a futuristic sea mine and a classic sci-fi film. Now, if they were to set it up so it could detonate when somebody takes a cup without permission, well then it would be perfect. Who knows how much this thing costs, but just like a mine, it just might cost you an arm and a leg.
Enjoy,
~Curtis Rx
Hello fiends,
I just wanted to let everybody know about my latest discovery, the greatest photograph of Freddie Mercury, EVER. If you’re a Queen fan, you’ll rejoice. If you’re not a Queen fan, then hopefully this will make a believer out of you.
Mark my words, someday I will pay somebody to recreate an exact replica of that eyeball jumpsuit, which I will wear often.
Enjoy,
~Curtis Rx
Hello boils and ghouls,
As mentioned in one of my latest blog entries, I’ve been keeping extremely busy with a ton of strange projects and constantly jumping back and forth between all different kinds of genres. So, as a little thank you for all your support, I wanted to post a sneak peak here of some of the instrumental music I’ve been composing for film and various web series. It’s entitled “Once More, With Gusto” and the project it was written for will be announced very soon, so please keep on the lookout for that. I’m sure this song will go through a few more metamorphoses, but consider this the first edition.
Without further adieu, here is “Once More, With Gusto”.
If you’ve got the time, please leave a comment on this post. I’d love to know what you think? I’ll also be posting this song over on my Myspace page in case anybody needs a new theme song for their page.
Hope all is well,
~Curtis Rx
PS. If you liked what you’ve heard, please help spread the word. This song has been ripped out from the protective embrace of the womb and thrust out into the alien landscape of this new and dangerous world. It is afraid and all alone. It needs human contact and somebody to sit down and hear its tale.
Hello fiends,
Late last night I received an urgent e-mail from a contact of mine who is is part of a film crew working a top secret project currently lensing in Los Angeles. He wouldn’t say what the name of the film was, but he did extend an invitation for me to come check out the set today. Being a huge fan of all things film, I quickly jumped at the chance. So this morning, with coffee in hand, I arrive on location and you could imagine my surprise when I found out the film was none other than—Ghostbusters 3. Unfortunately I could only spend a few hours gawking at the elaborate sets and famous characters we’ve all grown to love, but before I left, I was able to snap an exclusive pic of the new ghost busting team ready to do battle with the sinister forces that oppose them.
Here’s what you’ve all been waiting for, the first exclusive pic from the set of Ghostbusters 3:

Grandma Venkman is definitely my favorite of the new characters!
Enjoy,

Hello boils and ghouls,
Is it December already?
It has been awhile since I posted any kind of update on the strange experiments I’ve been toiling away with in the laboratory and you’ve probably been silently thinking to yourself, “Curtis must sit home all day counting his gold bars, sharing idle gossip with celebs over solemnly seasoned spinach salads, polishing his perfectly pretentious Bentley with its windows darker than the inky hours past midnight, or modeling sleek clothing for jet-setting designers and their St. Tropez state of minds.” Sure, but that all gets boring after awhile and I’ve got a lot work to do. So, I wanted to drop a line and let you guys know what’s going on in the months ahead as winter tightens it’s icy grip around our throats. 2009 was a busy year of planning, writing, organizing, and blood letting with the ultimate goal of having everything go into effect in January, just as another year returns to the dust.
That announcement brings me directly to my next piece of business:
After checking out my auctions, you might be asking yourself, “What’s with all the weird shirts?” Well, that’s because I used to collect and sell vintage clothing. Trust me, I tried to use them to polish my Bentley, but I have since discovered the ShamWow.
n.
What’s with the vocabulary lesson?
If all goes well, starting in 2010 I plan to start making a quarterly Villains And Vaudevillians Chapbook that will have all new writing, poems, stories, etc, that won’t be available anywhere else. I’m still in the planning phase, but they will be handmade, hand numbered, and very limited. I will still post a gaggle of new writing on my site, but these will be special secret society style pamphlets for those who would like to have something tangible to hold and read by the firelight while the raven mocks your sanity from its perch upon the pallid bust of Pallas just above your chamber door.
With all that said and done, I would like to personally thank everybody here for all your support and interest in my twisted and unfortunate thoughts. If you promise to keep enjoying my work, then I promise to keep creating it. You guys are the best and if we work together, someday the world will be OURS!
Muhahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Now, I must make haste, for the full moon is upon us and I must ready the cage and secure the locks. The night will be long, violent, and strangely satisfying—and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.
Your friend,
~Curtis Rx
Harken Strangers! So you’ve come here on this dark and stormy night to hear my dastardly little tale. Let me begin by saying, that no matter how shocking it may seem, every crimson ounce of it is true. I am an advocate of mischief and a creator of turmoil. I compose ghastly music based on eerie circumstance and delightful tragedy in the band Creature Feature and the band Rufus Rex. I direct strange films depicting ill-fated events and ghoulish irony. I am a writer of the macabre, as opposed to a revolver, I use a sharpened pencil to displace my brains. I gently squeeze the trigger and splatter the page with metaphor. Read, watch, and listen, you never know what wonderful terrible things you might unearth.
If you enjoy my website and like what I do, please donate toward my film projects, they desperately need it.
