You Are A Great Read...

J.D. at the blog RADIATOR HEAVEN (one of my daily must-reads...) has today tagged me for a blogger-to-blogger award called "You Are A Great Read."

Coming from J.D. -- already a 2009 Lammy nominee (for outstanding movie reviews), a Premio Dardos winner, and an all-around terrific movie scholar and writer -- this honor means a great deal to me. Thanks, J.D.: you made my day (and quite possibly my weekend...and perhaps my month...)

Now, as the award-giving business goes, I should also recognize five of my favorite blogs. This isn't easy, because I follow a number of outstanding blogs and I'd like to name more than five.

But here goes anyway. My Five Great Reads (not including RADIATOR HEAVEN) are:

And Now The Screaming Starts

Made for TV Mayhem

The House Next Door

Theofantastique

The Vault of Horror
