That does look rad, for sure. Pretty happy that you introduced me to his books all of those years ago.

Long overdue doc. It's pretty amazing how long he's been around. I still vividly remember the first thing I read by him - The Night They Missed The Horror Show - blackly hilarious and also a real gut punch.

I just re-read that one not long ago! I love it.

it's funny, too...I consider myself to be a Lansdale fan, but I'm not a fan of his Drive-In series (which spawned the title of this documentary). I got the Complete Drive-In for a great price, and just consider it to be over the top and repetitive. Maybe I'll go back and re-read, but it wasn't my thing the first two times.

That crack about the dog scratching out a suicide note after accidentally hanging itself had me in tears. Deeply dark but soooo funny.

I like a lot of his stuff but the ones that really resonate with me are mostly horror.

I really like the Dead in the West collection. I need to read more Lansdale.
