HELLO GHOULS!

Unholy Hells. It is 2021. The first day of January is here and I greet you all with love, horror and strangeness. I trust that we will do what we can with the time that is given to us. Let’s make it a great year if fear and fandom!
For me, it’s all about making some projects happen. Here is a small list of some things I thought I would update you with!

Firstly, the actual ELDER SIGN album will be out very soon. The songs have been done and finished totally for a short while now and I am really proud of it. It will be available online everywhere, of corpse, but I will also be getting some physical copies at some point, too. Probably vinyl, too. It all depends on that one thing, oh yeah, you know what I mean! MONEY! It is always a treasured chore to be an independent artist. We will see what we can do to make this happen! Also, there will be some videos, too, in time. We have been working on one for FORMLESS and will have it done sometime later the next couple of months. Maybe before. It all depends on what happens in my very strange life. 

I will finally get back to the I LOVE LUCIFER podcast, too. I have only completed a couple of them, so far, but it is a work in progress. Now that I have more time, I will surely get back to it. Thank you for everyone being patient and supportive. This year looks to have many more hours free for this demon. In addition to the podcast, I will be putting out another weird, gory and bizzaro little book of splatter filled goodness. I have not a title for it just yet, but you might think of it as a cross between the incredible hulk meets Jason Voorhees. More shall be revealed!

LORDS of OCTOBER will be doing more recording, live shows (if the pandemic would kindly fuck off) and videos, too. There is much more to do all around, so if I can find the time, you will see it! I don’t want to say too much now, but I can tell you that if I can do it, there will be more music, movies, books and live engagements. Only time will tell. 

All the best,
Lucifer Fulci

The Fellowship of Horror

I remember right around this time in 2019, I was beginning to create a calendar for all of 2020. Projects, tour dates, recording schedules, new projects, new ideas and all kinds of plans. We all know how that went. 2020 happened and now that it’s almost over, looking back, I’ve done the best that I can. I have followed the rules, stayed as safe as possible and made the most of the time that I’ve been given.

Lucifer Fulci

I’ve been very busy. By the day, as my Bruce Wayne type Avatar, I’ve been going to work or at least working from home a lot of the time, attending to my school work and being a part of an internship. That shall put me through to complete my Bachelors in Social Work by the end of this year. I’m talking about next month. I understand what senioritis means. I want to be done and I am just cruising towards the end. When it is all said and done and there is no more school to be had-at least for a WHILE- I shall find myself with a LOT more free time. For this, I am SO STOKED! I am quite READY to be DONE!

By the Dark of the night, I am still my own Batman and being a part of certain things that Define the creature that I am. There have been a lot of projects and creative Endeavors put on hold due to the pandemic and the crap show that we have been given this year, but that does not mean there has not been a lot going on. It just doesn’t seem as important as it used to, what with so many people dying and so much dissonance within our world. In one way or another, it’s always been that way, but 2020 needs no further introduction to its vile nature.

The Two Terrors

What the hell has been going on ALL YEAR? Well, in no particular order, I have been working (ever so slowly) on a few different works of the written word. Under my daytime name of David Mark Stashko, I have been creeping away at little books called The Anomaly-a strange sci fi type of thing, A Screamin’ Splatterpalooza-a rock and roll horror show that is a cross breed with Rocky Horror, Scooby Doo and the X Files…this is meant to be a book to begin with, but it deserves a movie, for sure, and that will happen. Oh, yes it will….from the darker side of my horror resume, I am chipping away at another grotesque edition of my crazy brain world. This one does not have a title, just yet, but it is brewing..and it is a twisted sicky.

Musically, I have made some David creations, which can be found if one simply looks, but it is not the main focus. It happens when my heart directs me. Such as the musical works of Lucifer, but that is a different story. Lucifer has been working hard on the Cryptozoology record by Lords of October-that is, going over what we began to do earlier in the year and seeing what kind of updates I can bring to the table. We will get more to that once we are best able to gather and not take risks with this virus. I mean, we have a LOT of this record working together. But we have to get back into it when we can. In the meanwhile, I came up with another 5 song grip of tunes for LORDS that I will work on with my beloved Uncle Salem and family. I thought it might be cool to do a concept of something that has to do with Michigan ghost stories. Something like that. Tribute to our home state. I have outlines of songs already, but that won’t happen before Cryptozoology. In addition to that, we wanna do some re-workings of classic Halloween songs, acoustic songs, all kinds of ideas. Not only that, I have been wanting-for a long while-to create various events throughout the year that highlight some of the most wonderfully wicked and spooky aspects of our planet…and have Lords perform at each one! haha. How self serving. Still, no public type events right now. Just. Gotta. Be. Safe. So, more music videos. Did you see the Annabel Lee lyric video? My wife put that together. We also put out a cheap ass video for Sci Fi Double feature from the last record…and Uncle Salem is putting one together for HOUSE by the CEMETERY, also from the HAUNTING at BECKWITH COURT.

More music? Why, yes, please.

THE ELDER SIGN, by Lucifer Fulci, is almost done. I have released 4 songs out of 5 already, and currently working on a music video for FORMLESS, with special guest vocals by Uncle Salem, himself! I love this album. So much great guitar work from Matt Namzor. Love this one. I am hoping to get some vinyl of this one, but we will see what we can do there. I have another 5 songs or so for another one, which might be another different avenue of hard rock and metal. I love to mix it up, but I also really want to re-do a lot of the tunes from my earlier records as Lucifer. The production sucks ass on several of them! Gross! I love the songs, tho, and I think they deserve a new life. We shall see. Working along with that.

Lastly, GOBLINSPAWN, my not so subtle musical project inspired by the works of GOBLIN, John Carpenter, ZOMBI, Fabio Frizzi and more, will be releasing another record. I have been working on music for this, too, thruout 2020, but I simply cannot begin one thing fully without finishing other stuff. I will probably get to working on this one after the last Lucifer song is posted. I know that I can do all the GOBLINSPAWN music on my own, socially distant and safe, so that seems to be the reasonable thing to do. Funny, too, about this project…I am taking no effort to really promote it, it is not available anywhere except on Soundcloud for now, but it keeps getting more and more fans. I dig it. It is just so much fun to make music that I love, inspired by the horror movies that I love. I might get more official with it later, but for now, I am stoked to see so many people that are into it. Thanks!

The Return of the Thing

Ah, yes, the ending of the trilogy of words here. Time to wrap it up, eh?

Short films. Speaking engagements. Podcasts. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I began a couple of those this year, too. Now it is official, EVERYONE has a fucken podcast! haha. I LOVE LUCIFER is a LOT of fun to do. I have only done a couple and I will do more, but hell yeah, what is better than hearing myself speak? Hearing others speak, for sure! I did another one called Light, Darkness and Dreamscapes, too. My wife joins me on that one and we have had a lot of fun exploring weird locations and we even interviewed the art legend Stephen Bissette. Only done a few so far, but it did happen in 2020.

A LOT happened in 2020, to be sure, but like I said before, the creative stuff, while important for us ALL to continue to do, just did not seem as important or relevant with so much true horror happening all around us. There are a few sparks of hope that have been shining through as of late, but it remains to be seen. One day at a time. I do have hope. And I have a lot of faith that everything happens for a reason. In fact, when I think of how things happen or why, I always seem to be taken away much further than what seems so obvious. We are much more than what we are taught. There is so much more happening than just waking up, watching the news and living on this planet. Remember to think. What are we? Floating around on this giant, living space ball in the middle of eternal darkness. There is light at the end of many warp tunnels. It all just so happens to be right in front of us. Do you see it?

The light of the universe. It lives in all of us.

Looking back – 2017

The bursting of chilled air wakes my senses and reminds me that another year has come to pass. The solstice has arrived and the time of dying time is upon us. What has this year gone by offered me? You? What has come to pass?

Some of the highlights of this past year have been the collection of fiendish family and friends that have, time and again, shown love and care for me and those around me. I am flattered to have such people in my life. Loving, caring, creative and sensitive folks who know that HORROR is best birthed from our fantastic minds. There is enough true horror in the world, each and every day, and the fictional scares and supernaturally cool lives that we can lead are a great distraction for such darkness.

2017 has allowed me to offer musics from my solo works as well as the band. Lords of October are happy to know that you loved the album EQUINOX! Such a great thing to be validated by amazing people. Thank you for the support. We have more videos, gigs and special offerings coming up this next year, too. Just wait! And the next album? Its a killer. A monster. It is something very special that we are stoked to create for you.

Same goes for all music I make. It has taken me a while to complete my current solo album, but that is not because I do not want to. It is because I am trying new textures, styles and sounds. I am inspired, but I am also learning more about production. My previous solo outings have had a poor quality to them, imho. This one is far better and has some nice guest appearances from some shredding masters. It is worth the wait, I say. I am in no hurry, anyways. Lords of October is my main music offering. I PROMISE that before the end of the year, you will hear another brutal tune of terror from the solo album. And it will be heavy!

Wormutanous was my fictional literary offering this year and again, I thank you for so much support. Its been great to be able to write again and travel to worlds unknown. I am near complete on a new book called “The Elder Thing” and will unleash that upon your eyes and fears in the early part of 2018. There are a couple of other literary works I will be offering, too, including an awesome Halloween book for the little ones that I have created with my forever queen, Scarah Stashko. She never ceases to amaze me.

So much more has happened, but my focus is today and in the future.

What I can say is this. If you keep living, I will keep working to scare and entertain you. I will take care of me, you take care of you and together? We might just be able to make it through another year with love intact.

All the beast,

Lucifer Fulci.

The Gates of Hell

Ghouls! Goblins! Hell beasts and gorehounds! Thank you for your patience and all the support you have given me with my solo work and LORDS of OCTOBER! I adore your guts. I love your brainssssss….and I have more for you!
Right now TODAY, LORDS of OCTOBER are recording more on our second musical release! We are doing 5 or 6 songs at a time and allow them to sink into your flesh! Some of the songs on this new one are called “Monsters,” “Long Lost Soul,” “The Devil Also Dreams,” and the horror fan, crowd pleasing favorite written by our own Ace Freh….I mean, Aleister Kane- “Black Phillip.” We have also reworked a classic horror punk song for a new age of heavy…we cannot wait to scare it with you!
LORDS of OCTOBER are also playing a couple of benefit shows coming up in May of 2017. More info on that to follow!
In the meantime, I am completing work on my 10th solo album! Whoa. Its hard to believe so much time has passed since “Cthulhu Rising” came out…almost 9 years ago!
This new CD of mine is an entire tribute to the maestro of gore and zombie madness himself, Lucio Fulci! Each and every song shall bring you back into his world of horror and is made with an everlasting, ever loving honor to his memory and his work.
And the title to this one is easy.
“Lucifer. Fulci.”
See what I did there? heh.
I have all of the basics of the music recorded but have a lot of work to do on it once the Lords album is done and mixed. So, for now….I give you the one song that is finished so far.
This one features the beautiful and grinding guitar mastery of Andy Chavez from Haunted Garage and is called…
THE GATES of HELL.

Ghoulcast #11

When I was a young demon, the dark skies spoke to me. They said, “Ghoul things come to those who wait.” They were correct.

Many moons ago, I found a very wonderful group of ghouls that loved music, horror and the fantastic like I did. Out in the land of Lost Angels, we rallied and rumbled together and found our way out and around the cosmos of carnage with love holding our horror strong. Among those amazing people were awesome talents like Dinah CancerWalter PhelanJuan Sermeno,Allison GraceSevera MilesDez CadenaCleve A HallJohn FittererTiffany Love and a group of others…to both greater and lesser degrees. There are some that have stood the test of time and are family. Some have passed away and some have moved onward to different places and feelings, but there are some that will always remain closer to the heart. Jason Frey,Elvorian SpiveyDaemon Stashko…you are some of the most amazing people I will surely ever know. I love the all of you here. That is why I wanted to share this here.

This new ghoul cast is awesome. We- Chris Ringler (Author of many books with the most recent being DANNY FRANKENSTEIN) Paul Counelis (Writer for Rue Morgue and Halloween Machine and many books) and myself,Lucifer Fulci (if you do not know me by now, just go to www.LuciferFulci.comand read some of my fiction of hear my musics)-talk about “woods Horror” and fandom, among other silliness for about an hour. We have such a great time doing it and truly enjoy each others company. There is no filler, no BS, no drugs, alcohol or hatred happening here. We have opinions, feelings and honestly, try to be nothing but who we really are…which is why I feel that it works so well.

Having lived out in LA for over 20 years, I thought I would never find that feeling that we had together out there. But I have, here. Chris and Paul are the best of the best. I cannot say enough good things about the class and character of these two. I have found family here that I can only call a gift. In this wide, wacky world of horror and all other things, it is quite rare for me to find others that I would call family. Having known them now for about four years, I can honestly say that time has been spent and truly, ghoul things come to those who wait. Here we are and I could not be more grateful or happy.

We are surrounded by amazing friends and family, too. All the best. Mandie Sue RinglerZak Nuwanda RandolScarah StashkoLoren Gillespie III,Jennifer RoeGlen Birdsall…and many others that are still kind of new to me…wow. We are all truly fortunate.

Sure, this post might be surrounded by mushy, good feelers, but they are feelers that are truly cthulhlian tentacles and reach far beyond time and space.

Enough of this. Take the time to listen. And thank you for letting me share.

Love,

Lucifer Fulci.

Ghoulcast updates and more!

A ghoul and ghastly mourning, fiends and creatures. May this be a day of magic, music and morbid media!
Last night was amazing. Another spooky ” The Ghoul Cast ” has been completed with myself, the always cuddly Chris Ringler and the ever amusing and cute little guy called Paul. From this day, I shall often refer to him as CanniPaul Holocaust. Maybe Cannibal Paulocaust? haha. If you are interested, this podcast is done with a deep love for all things horror. It lasts about an hour for each episode and is always filled with great info,lots of laughter and great friendship between us and anyone that appears upon it. In the past, we have included the ever informative and wonderful Glen Birdsall– who schooled me on Hammer Films– and Jennifer Roe, who gave us all a great and informative schooling on Silent Horror films. The episode last night focused on the Found Footage subgenre of the horror film, as well as a tail end discussion of special features. It should be posted online very soon. If you are interested, just click the Ghoul Cast link above. We intend on doing a whole lot more with the podcast and hope that you will listen in.
On a more somber note, last night’s podcast is dedicated to AJ Pero, the drummer for TWISTED SISTER, who sadly passed away yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. I hope he is out there, somewhere, jamming with Cliff BurtonRandy Rhoads and Dimebag Darrell. Oh my GODS of METAL. Could you imagine THAT band, withRonnie James Dio on vocals? Wow. WOW.
Secondly, I wanted to give a bit of an update on some other things I have been doing.
I will NOT be appearing at the Motor City Comic Con. If you did not read my post earlier, the con decided against having me there. They said I would not be appropriate for what they have going on, which is cool, since they are a comic convention and I am a horror guy. It is all okay, and I will be back out there to see all of you at some point. I might be doing the DAYS of the DEAD in Indiana and might just be at some convention out there in California soon. It all depends on numbers. Such is life! All the same, you can always get my gory goodies at www.LuciferFulci.com .
I still have lots of copies of my latest musical offering, SUPERNATURAL HORROR METAL, as well as my most recent books, AZRATH the UNHOLY and MALEVOLENT and Lucifer Fulci’s Guide to the Italian Cannibal Movie. They all come signed and sealed with a kill.
I will be releasing a DVD soon, too, that will contain my short film, THE HORROR STATION, as well as three lyric videos for the songs GODZILLA! NOSFERATU and the forthcoming video for THE EXORCIST. I will keep you all updated on that.
In the coming months, you will see the release of a new book on recovery, written, of course, by my real name, David Stashko. This new book is called ROADWAYS of RECOVERY and willbe available everywhere. You can also find a preview of it at Lulu.com if you search my David name. I am also shooting a short documentary on recovery in the Flint area and releasing that sometime before the end of the year. This is a little project after my own heart, as recovery in Flint saved my life. Flint often gets a bad wrap, but in fact, I work there and go to a lot of meetings there and it is awesome. I have met a lot of beautiful and talented people there…I want to show you some of them!
I will be doing some kind of book and film release parties, sure, but I do not know when, yet. When I know, you will know.
There are also some other spooky ideas brewing in this brain of mine, as ever. I look forward to sharing them with you. For now, however, I will be keeping them to myself. The only thing I can tell you is….well….as ever..
Oh! One more thing….from another world.
You heard me mention Paul Counelis earlier? Well, he has a new documentary coming out called VOICES of OCTOBER. It is about his long running, super awesome home Halloween Haunt. He has chosen to use some of my music in there. Please give it a look. So far, it looks awesome! Feel free to like the page Voices of October: Diary of a Halloween Home Haunt !THANK YOU!
If you want blood…You got it!
Love,

3 things…from another world.

Greetings and bleedings, one and all. May it be that you find this day shrouded in darkness, chilled with horror and bound by the supernatural that gives life to us all.

3 things…from another world.

First, a great howl from the netherworld to my family of fear. Grave times were had last evening with The Ghoul Cast​. We talked silent horror and some Italian Zombie gore. The new podcast will be posted soon, so pay attention! The cast from last evening was myself- Lucifer Fulci​- The amazing Jennifer Roe​ ( Horror expert and member of the Flint Horror Collective), and Paul Counelis​  ( Rue Morgue Magazine​ ). In our company was the always touchable, lovable Chris Ringler​ and my beloved, bloody bride, Scarah Stashko​. Also, for the first time, I had the pleasure of meeting an artist of horror in his own bloody right, Mr. Ryan Olson​. I had heard a lot about him from his sig other, Lady Jen, but finally got to meet him last evening. What a total connection! To find another blood brother. In fact, he reminded me a LOT of each one of us, but most particularly, of one of my all time favorite people, Loren Gillespie III​. By all means, if I could be some kind of horror ambassador, kindly meet one others, fellas!

It was a great time of terror. Please check it out when posted.

Secondly, If you had not seen, I will be appearing at the MOTOR CITY COMIC CON for the first time, this coming May 15,16,17. I will have all of the latest, gory goodies from my vault of vile morbidity, including but not limited to, copies of my CD SUPERNATURAL HORROR METAL, my two latest books, AZRATH the UNHOLY and MALEVOLENT and Lucifer’s Guide to the Italian Cannibal Film, shirts, buttons, more books, maggots, worms and copies of my new short film, THE HORROR STATION, on DVD, that will also showcase two of my latest lyric videos for the songs GODZILLA and NOSFERATU. Please stop by and pay me a visit!

Lastly and certainly not beastly, I want to send out special spell of gratitude to each and every one of you, fiends both old and new, for continued support and attentions. While I would still be bleeding out all sorts of the strange and unusual creations that blister my mind, without you, it would be with lessened fervor and a sad, bloody tear. I am always and ever grateful for you. Thank you for looking, listening and being the fascinating creatures that you are. You tempt me. You make me thirst. Surely, one day, we shall have to slice your skin and cook you alive…heh heh heh.

Here is my tribute to you for today.
