Carnival of souls

* This week’s Horror Roundtable is about our favorite horror-related experiences of 2007. It was actually a pretty big year for horror, if not a pretty great one, so it was fun to cull through my memories to pick out the best.

* It’s not where I’m coming from, but if you’re interested in a review of I Am Legend written from the perspective of someone who really loves the book and is judging the film by how it matches up with it source material, you could do worse than Pete Mesling of FearFodder’s take. (Note that he too compares the monsters unfavorably to video-game enemies.)

* Jeet Heer criticizes the embrace of libertarian economist Ludwig von Mises by Paul Pope and his Berlin Batman, recently touted as presidential candidate Ron Paul’s favorite superhero.

* On Friday night I went to see the GZA/Genius at the Knitting Factory. Pitchfork has photos and a brief review of the previous night’s gig.

* Finally, these World War II-style Battlestar Galactica propaganda posters are pretty cool, and pretty cheap too. (Via Justin Aclin.)
