PHANTOM PATRIOT'S RETRO CINEMA PREMIERS

Hey, it's been a long time since I've posted here. However, this blog is very slowly going to wake up out of hibernation as I continue work on my current book project. That book is yet untitled, but the main person appearing throughout the book is Richard McCaslin aka the Phantom Patriot.

There are many aspects to the Phantom Patriot, but for now enjoy his latest project: "Phantom Patriot's Retro Cinema," a show that combines the Phantom Patriot persona with classic horror host style shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000, Commander USA's Groovy Movies, etc.

Here now is the pilot episode for Phantom Patriot's Retro Cinema. Episode 2 is already in the works and will have a special guest star...me! Yes, I went down to Nevada for a few days to meet up with Richard. I got some interview time and co-starred (along with Phantom Patriot's alien head sidekick G'Nik and the sinister villain Illuminus) in episode 2. It was a wild adventure and I can't wait to write all about it.

WELCOME TO HEROES IN THE NIGHT!

My name is Tea Krulos and I'm a freelance writer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I was introduced to the Real Life Super Hero(RLSH) story in late February, 2009. As a lifelong fan of comic books and unusual and unique people and subcultures, I was immediately hooked.

I was determined to find a local RLSH if there was one and found The Watchman, a man who dons a red rubber mask, suit, and trenchcoat and patrols the streets of Milwaukee. I had a long, fascinating interview with him in person one night and determined that the short magazine piece I had successfully pitched did not scratch the surface of the story and decided to write a book. After a few months I also established this blog- both the book and the blog are titled Heroes in the Night.

My book is based on extensive research, interviewing, and field work. I have traveled to meet RLSH in Minneapolis, Rochester (Minnesota), Brooklyn, Vancouver, Portland, Seattle, San Diego, New Bedford (Massachusetts) , and Washington DC, as well as meeting regularly with the Milwaukee crew.

I have been quoted as an expert on the subject in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, People magazine, Seattle Weekly, Scientific American, io9.com, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and dozens of other newspapers, magazines, websites around the world. I've also made appearances on a dozen radio shows and have been filmed for three different RLSH documentaries.

I have written articles on the subject for Milwaukee magazine, the Boston Phoenix, New York Press, Forces of Geek, Riverwest Currents, and Delayed Gratification.

Heroes in the Night will be published in Fall 2013 by Chicago Review Press.
