…that GHOUL will air on Chiller Friday, April 13th at 9pm. If you don’t get Chiller, call your local cable company and demand it. If they won’t accommodate you, watch it at a friend’s house (or even a complete stranger’s house) or wait for the eventual DVD and Blu-Ray release. If you haven’t yet read Ghoul, the paperback and audio book are on sale now.
WhoSay was down for much of the weekend, so I ended up posting premiere pics via Twitter — everything from shots of snow-covered scenery to Nolan and I hamming it up on the red carpet. I’ll re-post a few of them below.
Much of today will be spent traveling. Right now I’m sitting in the condo, staring out at the mountains while Mary, Mike, Mikey, and Dezm are still asleep. And I’m smiling. I’ve been writing professionally for a little over 15 years now, and it has taken me all over the United States and into Canada, and has provided me with an immeasurable number of good memories and special weekends, but this one — this weekend — trumps them all. The premiere itself went great. Standing room only and well-received by those in attendance — everyone from long-time readers like Dante Moriconi to Hollywood folks like Sean Young of Blade Runner and Ace Ventura fame. It was great to see Greg, Nolan, Jacob, Trevor, Andrew, and everyone else from the movie again, and to share our accomplishment together. And I even got some non-Ghoul work done — good news for the movie version of Dark Hollow and the possibility of a Dead Sea film. But the best part of the weekend for me was simply sharing it with people I love. So thanks to Mary SanGiovanni, Mike Oliveri, Michael T. Huyck, Mark ‘Dezm’ Sylva, and Tod and Suzin Clark for being there with me. That made all the difference in the world. Best Weekend Ever. “Literally.” (A private joke that will only be understood by the seven of us — or anyone else who has ever been trapped on a shuttle bus with Corbin Bernsen’s publicist and a marketing guy from Warner Brothers).
Congratulations, Brian. You deserve every bit of success coming your way, brother.
Looks like you guys had a blast. Awesome! Can’t wait to see Ghoul!

“Ghoul” and “Dark Hollow” are my fave books by you. So this news is way beyond awesome. Congrats, Boss Man.
This is most excellent news Brian! I’m glad you got a chance to case the joint at Sundance, we’ll need the inside info when Drunken Tentacle ends up there!
Congratulations Brian! It is great to see your work go to the next level. I knew years ago that your work was destined to be more than just the written word and now it is. i cannot wait to watch Ghoul on Television. Already got it set up to get the chiller channel starting in April.

Tell Dezm i said “Go GIANTS’!!!!
Glad to see that 2012 is heading in the right direction! Congrats, Brian!
Hells yeah! Congrats, and I know I’ll be picking up the DVD as soon as possible. Can’t wait to see it.
Sooooo happy for you! Congrats-you’re an awesome writer and deserve everything good coming your way, can’t wait to see Ghoul!!! Dark Hallow will be awsome as well, it was the first book of yours I read-can’t wait for that one!! Woohooooo!

Dead Sea movie, super!
Congratulations Brian! I’ve been a huge fan since “the Rising Days” and though I’m not usually the internet commenting type, I had to say drop a line and say congratulations on reaching this milestone. You deserve it man, and here’s to seeing a lot more of your work getting the film treatment! Again, congratulations and I can’t wait to see the movie!
Where I work has Chiller,a restaurant, a Sporthouse with a VIP room. It would give more details if there is enough interest.The sooner the better.. It would be cool to have some sort of Premiere party. In Wilkes-Barre,PA. If anyone is interested give me a holler.
Dead Sea: The Movie? Cool!!
Mary’s not in any of those pictures, is she?
I went to her web site and, unless she’s looking different, or something, I can’t find her in the pictures.
Neal and Javi: Absolutely. I’ll get clearance from Chiller this week and we’ll touch base next week about setting them up.
Dude, I am absolutely thrilled for you, and wish to fuck I could have been there. LITERALLY!
Glad it was successful. Very glad to hear Dark Hollow is moving forward. Congrats!
Congrats on everything!
We’ll be watching GHOUL’s Chiller premiere with as many friends as we can pack in.
Congratulations Brian! It’s great to read posts that seem like things are going so great and that you are able to relax. The fact that Ghoul is going to be shown on my birthday makes me even more excited. The only hurdle is that my wife and I are recluses (is that even how to pluralize that?) and we don’t have cable. I will spring for the Blu Ray when that comes out.
Thanks, folks!
OMG I don’t get Chiller channel!!!! I’ve been waiting for months for this!!!!! I am in complete hell!!!! Brian you have got to get this to DVD soon!!!!
I get it now. The Chiller Channel. I just hope I don’t get addicted to it.
That’s an extremely real possibility, b/c I LOVE horror movies. Well, I love the ones that are as realistic as can be expected.
I still with they’d use me as a consultant on how to make certain scenes realistic.
The ones in your books always ARE realistic enough to be believable. That’s why I like reading them. One of the reasons, anyway.
Whelp time to find a friend/stranger because I will not miss something so important
