Sinister Visions just launched the new website for SyFy Face Off's Matt Valentine at http://www.mattvalentinefx.com, with a complete overhaul of the Global Fear Enterprises website to follow in a few days...

I've received 3 paintings back from the various galleries in which they've been hanging since October and they're up for sale in my Etsy shop:

Yesterday I had the opportunity to check out the Muvico Theater 18 in Rosemont, which is where the upcoming Chicago Fear Fest will take place in April, and I finally understand why co-sponsor Mike from Flashback Weekend gets so excited when he talks about it.

It's beautiful. Grand. Huge. This theater was designed to impress - state-of-the-art theater design, seating and, in the case of the Premium Packages, downright luxurious. Bogart's, the restaurant/bar where the festival's Zombie Army-driven afterparties will be held, is elegant and spacious, the perfect place for cocktails and socializing.

If you're in or near Chicago, I highly recommend checking out the theater, whether you'll be able to make it to the CFF or not. I'm doubly excited for the Chicago Fear Fest after having visited it myself. To see photos of it and get more information, visit the Muvico website.

Well! What was supposed to be a code patch turned into me realizing I haven't updated SinisterVisions.com's core code/design in over 3 years, which isn't a good position for a professional web designer's website to be in. So I took the weekend and rebuilt it almost entirely from scratch.

I've streamlined the navigation and simplified things significantly; hopefully I've made the site a lot easier to move around in.

Although I still have a little tweaking to do, it's 99% finished and ready for perusing. Even better, it should look exactly the same whether you're in Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari, on a PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone or Android device (only caveat being, since it is a graphically intensive site, it may take a minute to load on some devices).

I hope you enjoy it!

My navigation system has arbitrarily stopped working within the same 24 hours that I've started working on a new version of SinisterVisions.com (it's been more than 3 years). I'm going to make some basic alterations as a short-term patch, but otherwise will be kicking the re-design into high gear. Bear with me.

Received and framed the gorgeous Phantom City Trick ‘r Treat poster, which inspired Ripley…
