  Show Time is a true story which found its roots in the answer to the question, 'how did the author get into tattooing', which she fielded from almost every person that she met. The book travels the backroads of Europe in the 1980s and 90s as a young woman chronicles her relentless determination to find scraps of information, loopholes and chinks in the armor of the male-dominated secretive world of tattooing where females were not welcome or encouraged. Eventually she makes her way to a place on the wild and colorful international rollercoaster that was the evolution of tattooing as an artform during that time and becomes one of Europe's trailblazing, award-winning female tattoo artists. The book follows the rise of the popularity of tattoo art during the 1990s and its transition from the shadows into the mainstream of modern culture pre internet and social media. Written for a wider audience, Show Time provides an inside look at the shadowy ways of the tattoo Old School and gives the reader an understanding of the process of tattooing from the professional side.

  A collection of essays by female horror writers exploring portrayals of diabolical mothers in both modern and classic horror films.The concept of motherhood, often idealized as the epitome of unconditional love and nurturing, has been twisted and perverted in various cinematic works to explore darker, more complex human dynamics. Led by Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson Award, and two-time World Fantasy Award winning editor and acclaimed film professor Danel Olson, the essayists introduce listeners to traditional portrayals of mothers in film and literature, establishing a baseline for understanding how diabolical motherhood deviates from the norm.From a historical overview tracing the evolution of malevolent maternal figures in cinema, from early depictions of wicked stepmothers in fairy tales to the complex, to multifaceted monstrous matriarchs of contemporary films, these essays explore the psychological underpinnings of diabolical motherhood, drawing on author's personal experiences, anecdotes, and research to understand the motivations and mental states driving these characters in a wide range of horror films. The essays offer a deeper understanding of how cinema reflects and shapes our perceptions of motherhood, morality, and power. A must-listen for horror aficionados.

  KILL BILL: VOLUME 1 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Kill Bill: Volume 1 is a 2003 action film directed by Quentin Tarantino. The story follows "The Bride," a former assassin who is left for dead after a brutal massacre at her wedding rehearsal, orchestrated by her former team, the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. She survives a four-year coma and embarks on a mission of vengeance against those who wronged her, including her former mentor, Bill. The film is a blend of martial arts, samurai, and revenge genres, featuring stylish violence, visually striking sequences, and elements of both Western and Eastern cinematic influences, all underpinned by Tarantino's signature storytelling. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  "The Bride’s iconic yellow outfit is an homage to Bruce Lee’s costume in his final film, Game of Death (1978)." 
    
  "The scene where the Bride splits a baseball in two with a samurai sword was filmed for real on set, with Zoë Bell, Uma Thurman’s stunt double, performing the stunt." 
    
  "Quentin Tarantino owns the 'Pussy Wagon' from Kill Bill and drove it as his daily vehicle to promote Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004). He even lent it for use in Missy Elliott’s music video for 'I’m Really Hot,' as well as Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s 'Telephone' video." 
    
  "Over four hundred fifty gallons of fake blood were used for both Kill Bill movies, as revealed by special effects artist Christopher Allen Nelson."
