2023 Comes To A Close...

Wow! What a year 2023 was for me. Lot's of highs and lows, especially towards the end of the year, but were gonna focus on the positive points.  Those of you who have been supporting me over the years in my ventures know how hard I have worked to entertain, and build a "brand" for myself. It's been quite a grind, to say the least.

I have to say, 2023 might have been my best year for growth in the entertainment industry. I've opened quite a few doors throughout the year, and want to share of list of highlights, in no particular order or ranking.

You know I work hard on my podcast, The Steve & Crypto Show, which is a focal point of a few of this years milestones on the list...

My 2023 Holiday Viewing...

I always like to watch themed movies during the different holidays, and the Christmas 2023 season I kept my tradition alive, though I didn't have time to watch as much as I would have liked to.

Though I did watch a few classic holiday specials, like Charlie Brown, The Grinch, He-Man and She-RA, and Pee Wee's Playhouse, I'm devoting this post to sharing my list of Christmas Horror I found time to view! I'm not getting too deep or reviewing, because of time constraints, so I'm just sharing the movie posters with a short blurb.

I'm gonna get planning for next years Christmas viewing. Maybe I should see what I can find for Valentine's Day horror too? Send me suggestions. I'm @thestevestrout on social media. 

Have you seen any of these? What did you watch?

Cool Projects 42...Spooky Theatre!

I've been very busy this "Halloween Season", between my commitment to watching a horror or spooky themed film or television show every day in October, recording voice acting parts, writing, being guests at spooky season events with my podcast (The Steve & Crypto Show), and producing said podcasts' run of Halloween Specials.  It's been a grind, but I found time to check out some "spooky theatre", which is a little out of the norm for me. A regional theatre company here on the Olympic Peninsula in Western Washington, called Olympic Theatre Arts, adapted my personal favorite horror movie, Night Of The Living Dead, and I couldn't miss this opportunity.
