"Theories In Chaos:
The Night Stalker Eternal"
by
William Blake Vogel III
March 2, 2006 A.D.
This past weekend, the world of Horror lost a legend. On February
25th., acting great Darren McGavin passed away. Best known as the
crusty Father from the movie "A Christmas Story," he had a long
career in television and film.
But his most memorable role was as the surly reporter Carl Kolchak
in the show "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." Fighting the
supernatural, and his sceptical editor Vinchenzo (Simon Oakland),
Kolchak was the definitive hero realist.
McGavin also made guest appearances on "The X-Files" and
"Millenium." As Arthur Dales, he played the F.B.I. Agent who
discovered the X-Files.
He was a classic, a true talent. Darren McGavin will be missed.
Hunt on, Kolchak, hunt on....

"The Spur"
by
William Blake Vogel III
Torn flesh, steel bitten
Epitaph to a hard day,
Sharp as barbed wire
Last words, only cure
For outlaw blood is the grave,
Bent as an undertaker's smile
Perdition, fate written
Short on a tombstone
Dire, this final repose
Future shock, hard luck
Etched deep as cold winds
Cutting to the bone
Guns blazing, destiny
Buried beneath dead leaves,
Death and forever
Outside of infinity,
Pale light of dim tomorrows
Cast in a shadow dream
Hellbent for leather,
Fury's relentless chase
Till the dying day
Judge Colt, jury of six
Pronounces verdict,
Executes sentence
Giving up the ghost,
The Hangman knows
The last dance
Torn flesh, steel bitten
Epitaph to a hard day,
Sharp as barbed wire
Last words, only cure
For outlaw blood is the grave,
Bent as an undertaker's smile
Perdition, fate written
Short on a tombstone
Dire, this final repose.

"Screamo"
by
William Blake Vogel III
Gut-wrenching, flesh melting
In a dissonance of screams,
Distorted icons shine
Like twisted visions obscene
Mangled reasons fuel animal logic,
Murder scene shock art
Left as ruinous testimony
To scars never seen
Elegy of darkness, guttural
Symphony in broken bloodied notes,
Smashed face sonata
Dismembered in sharp discord
Gut-wrenching, flesh melting
In a dissonance of screams,
Distorted icons shine
Like twisted visions.
