Jeez, been a while since I updated, guess my daily Tweets kind of take their place. But I realize not everyone reads those so I’ll do an update for those that have asked.
Let’s see, wow, February 9th was my last official update. SO MUCH had happened. Like the last note, some good, some bad.
Wasteland was great, as usual. Back to our old spot, sales were really good and we got to party with some good friends and make some new one. And of course party with them too.
Wasteland also saw the release of the Official Splatter Movie: The Director’s Cut DVD and Illustrated Screenplay. We decide to self distribute this one and I was really nervous about how it would go over. I still am, but so far sales have been good and the reviews and responses have been overwhelmingly positive.
Right after Wasteland was when life started to test us, again. The day after Mike found out that he was going to be laid off. This was the same day that our 10th anniversary present to each other, a trip to the UK, was confirmed. Since this was a web deal I felt that cancelling it we would lose too much money so we decided to still go. Mike had a month until the layoff so we spent the time tying up loose ends and formulating a plan. I was still watching my Niece while my Mom was recovering from her Spinal Cord Injury, she’s doing GREAT by the way, but I needed to start looking for a job. Mike was not just losing income but also our health insurance. April flew by with us getting ready for the trip, job hunting, promoting Happy Cloud Pictures, and just trying to live. We also were getting ready for our other Niece’s baptism. Katie was born in February and was a highlight of the year. So adorable and sweet.
Mike was laid off on April 30th and on May 1st we celebrated our 10 year anniversary. We were determined not to let this setback get in the way, especially since we were getting ready to leave for our trip on May 7th. We spent the weekend visiting family, packing and spending lots of extra time with the animals. Speaking of animals, we did have a down note in March where we had to put our sweet Gypsy down for his final rest. Poor guy was suffering so much and yet still trying to be his old self it was breaking our hearts.
Back to May, on May 4th my niece and I took my Mom to her surgeon’s appointment and on the way back, about 2 blocks away from the hospital, a woman decided to cut off a truck in rainy weather. The truck tried to avoid her but hit her and then went on to sideswipe another car and hit a van head on. Totaling both the truck and the van. The car that started all of this spun out of control, smashed into my car and pushed us into another car. I cannot remember when I’ve been more afraid in my life. Here I was, stopped at a light, with my mother recovering from near a paralyzing injury in the passenger’s seat and my 2 ½ year old niece in the back seat with nowhere to go as a car came spinning toward us. I turned to my Mom after what seemed like hours and she seemed okay and then I turned to my niece and she started screaming but she seemed okay. Police, fire and ambulance were called, I pried my door open and looked around and saw the complete devastation of what seemed like hundreds of cars around me. Opened the back door to check on my niece who was scared but fortunately not hurt. While I was dealing with her there was a wonderful woman who saw what happened and came over to help and started talking to my Mom to calm her down. Her chest hurt, mainly from the seatbelt we found out, and she was hyperventilating. The ambulance showed up fairly quickly and they pried open the passenger door, put my Mom on a stretcher and started loading her into the ambulance. They also took my niece out in her car seat to check her over and carried my purse and other things from the car to the ambulance since my arm was killing me. AMAZINGLY, all of the victims walked away from the hospital within a few hours with minor bruises, bumps and sprains. I was in a nice wrist brace and had some really neat bruises. My Mom had some bruises and Haley got to tell the rest of my family all about the accident. The girl has an amazing memory! Ironically, it took my Dad, Sisters and brothers-in-law a while to get to the hospital because of the accident causing some major traffic jams. But they got there, we were released, went to see my poor car and get everything out of it since it didn’t look to good. We then met Mike, who was at home over 1 ½ away from where the accident was, had dinner and Mike and I went home. I went to bed and woke up feeling so horrible, but luckily the nice doctor at the hospital gave me some good meds. I spent the next couple of days sleeping and packing for our trip that was only 3 days away!
That’s the most I’ve written about the accident since it happened. Sorry it was so long, but I think I needed to really get it out. I’ve spent the months since feeling afraid, nervous, mad, in pain, depressed, thankful, regretful, hostile and just about every other emotion you can think of. I’m still experiencing pain, haven’t been able to ride all summer, but it could have so much worse. When I think of what could have happened if we were just a few feet ahead or any other variable it makes me sick to my stomach but I do thank the gods that my Mom and niece and I came out of it relatively ok.
So back to better news, on May 7th Mike and left for London. Aside from the pain the flights were ok. Nice entertainment, meals were edible and not too many fussy youngsters, or oldsters for that matter. We landed in London, spent 3 days walking from one side to another, visiting as much as we could, including Camden Town, The London Dungeons, Big Ben, Islington, as many bookstores and video stores as we could find, Piccadilly Circus, Baker Street and as many other spots as we could. We then boarded a plane for Dublin. We also spent 3 fantastic days wandering around Dublin. Including a fun Ghost Bus tour and a viewing of Star Trek. We also had a nice, private vowel renewal ceremony and were joined by a cat who lives in Dublin Gardens. Aside from the pain from the accident and the pain of walking 17 thousand miles each day, it was a wonderful trip and I can’t wait to return.
So of course after our wonderful trip we came home to the news that the car, a great 2002 Prius that we bought in January and was getting 45-50 mpg, was totaled. Luckily our insurance paid it off, unfortunately since Mike just got laid off and I wasn’t employed outside the home, we had almost no chance of being able to finance another. And with the situation we were in, I didn’t want to spend the money we have in savings. So we are still to this day a single car household. It’s was sort of a good thing since we didn’t have the car payment anymore and the insurance went down, but it was hard to get around where we live. We’re managing, especially since for a while I couldn’t drive. Aside from being afraid to, I couldn’t turn my neck enough to be able to drive safely, and the hand and arm gave me problems anytime I raised them over my waist.
Which brings me to the next oh so fun part of the year. I went to my doctor about a month after the accident because I woke up one morning and couldn’t move my neck and shoulder’s at all. She ordered an MRI and then referred me to a neurosurgeon. Due to the nature of medical care, my doctor’s assistant’s ineptitude and other fun problems, it took almost 2 months to get an appointment after the MRI. It also took me over a week to get someone from my doctor’s office to explain why I had to see a surgeon. I was finally told there was some compression and I was not to do any exercising that involved my back, arms or neck, and to take it easy and ‘coddle myself’. For over a month! Without knowing why exactly! So I spent most of June and July terrified of permanently damaging myself if I moved wrong. I could drive much, I couldn’t ride and I couldn’t help Mike redo the house. We were both home for the first time in years and we had so many plans on remodeling and I couldn’t do it. I was so miserable. As the days went by I started feeling better and did what I could but I was still frustrated and angry. Angry at the doctors for putting me off, the insurance companies for taking so long to get me an appointment, at myself for feeling frustrated and weak, and at the woman who caused this in the first place.
Finally I saw the surgeon and was told I had some mild problems, nothing that I wouldn’t recover from. I was so relieved and frustrated that day. It was weird. I’m still healing and still have some twinges but I know now that it won’t hurt it worse by exercising or working it out. And I can ride again! If only the heat would dissipate.
During all of this I got a job. A nice, flexible, creative job near my house. It gets me out and makes me feel useful. That is so helpful right now. After over 2 months of feeling useless and weak, it’s nice to feel needed.
Other good things about the year have been watching Haley and Katie grow. Haley just turned 3 last week and is growing into a sweet, willful, smart and fun girl. Katie is adorable, sweet, has a great smile and makes everyone around her smile. She was the one bright spot of an otherwise unpleasant part of the year. Mike’s grandmother passed away a few weeks ago after a long illness. The funeral was hard but it was good to be able to pick up the smiling little angel and hear her laugh and coo. I look forward to watching her grow also.
Professionally, aside from Splatter movie being released, things are pretty good. Mike is working hard on editing both the final version of The Resurrection Game – YAY! - and Demon Diva’s and the Lanes of Damnation. Look for both of those toward the end of the year. We're also starting a new project that I'm really excited about. It's different than our other projects and should be interesting.
Mike also published a short story collection titled Phobophobia. It a forward by Amber Benson and an unsettling cover by Romik Sefarin and gives you a bit of an insight into Mike’s twisted mind.
To wrap up a LONG update, I could write lots more but I sure I’ve bored everyone already, I’m looking forward to the negative parts of the year being over and the good parts to be more frequent.
I also would like to thank all of our wonderful family, friends and fans who have been there for us over the last year or so and kept us going with kind words, prayers, support and lending their ears. I’m really grateful for all of you and wish I could give you one tenth of the support I’ve received from you.

So I’ve not been on MySpace a lot lately. Too many ads, too much stuff on everyone’s pages, I’ve added too many ‘friends’ I don’t know, etc. I have also been pretty busy with my Mom’s accident, getting Splatter Movie on DVD and other family and professional obligations. I haven’t been reading anyone’s blogs and have just been approving friends without actually looking at their page. Mostly this Myspace account has been used to promote my films and connect with people. I have made some wonderful friends on here but most of them I talk to on email or ‘the other social networking site’.
.. ..
I’ve been debating on whether or not to close the account. On one hand I’d hate to lose contact with those I only talk to on MySpace and who follow my appearances and film news on here, on the other hand I actually feel like I do these people a disservice because I’m barely ever on here.
.. ..
I’m also sick of the MySpace theatrics. Since people can be completely anonymous they can feel free to say whatever they want however they want without regard. These cowards are not confined to MySpace but they really are prevalent on there.
.. ..
Taking all of this into consideration I’ve decided not to close my account, but I’m not going to accept any more friend requests, unless I’ve met you personally, and I will discourage all of my friends from talking to me on MySpace and use my email or other methods. This will most likely lead to my eventually closing the account but I want to make sure that my friends and fans are not abandoned.
.. ..
In the meantime- you can find me through my regular site www.amylynnbest.net which will updated more frequently now, or on www.facebook.com/amylynnbest
I’m sorry if this inconveniences anyone, I truly am, but I feel it’s the best thing for me right now.
Thanks for your understanding and support-
Amy

*** We're planning on premiering this at Cinema Wasteland*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE....
Splatter Movie: The Director’s Cut – official release coming in April!....
Happy Cloud Pictures is pleased to announce that its fourth feature, Splatter Movie: The Director’s Cut will celebrate its official DVD release in April, 2009. As detailed in Fangoria Magazine, Splatter Movie is surreal and off-beat “documentary” about the making of a slasher movie called “Tessaract” (which, in turn, is about a group of filmmakers shooting a movie called “Splatter Movie”) whose cast and crew is being stalked by a killer masquerading as the film’s fictional killer. Written by Mike Watt and directed by and starring Amy Lynn Best, Splatter Movie quickly spirals into bizarre territory as the line between film and reality blurs—then disappears entirely!
Splatter Movie: The Director’s Cut stars Tom (The Evil Dead) Sullivan, Debbie (Nowhere Man) Rochon, Sofiya (A Feast of Flesh) Smirnova, Elske (Poultrygeist) McCain, Rachelle (Jess Franco’s Take-Away Spirit) and Nikki (Demon Divas and the Lanes of Damnation) McCrae. The movie features the song “Spot the Psycho” by Cornbugs, featuring vocals by Choptop (aka Bill (Repo: The Genetic Opera) Moseley).
The official DVD release comes loaded with a companion film, deleted scenes and more. This release also marks the debut of Happy Cloud Pictures’ own distribution arm, bringing the DVD straight to the consumer and eliminating the red tape. The M.S.R. for Splatter Movie: The Director’s Cut is $19.95, but to commemorate the event, HCP is offering $10 off the official copy to anyone who bought the previous “work-in-progress” DVD-R release online or at past conventions...
To coincide with this auspicious release, Happy Cloud Pictures will also release a companion screenplay annotated and illustrated, available separately, detailed with numerous behind-the-scenes photos and details about the production from Best and Watt. This handsome collector’s book will be available for a limited time and offered autographed through the HCP website at www.happycloudpictures.com – For more information, please visit the site.
To arrange interviews with the principals, please contact us at info@happycloudpictures.net

In Phobophobia, the first short-fiction collection from award-winning journalist and screenwriter Mike Watt readers will find plenty of reasons to leave the light on.....
Thirteen (triskaidekaphobia) Twisted Tales from the Twisted mind of Mike (The Resurrection Game, Dead Men Walking) Watt, six appearing in print in this collection for the first time, tell of ordinary people caught up in decidedly unordinary events where nothing is what it seems—
—Not classic red Mustangs…
— Not “typical” art exhibits…
— Christmas Morning…
— Not even your “average” hard boiled mystery.
In her introduction, author and star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Amber Benson, writes, “What I love most about this collection is that Mike takes every day, normal scenarios and infuses them with a pinch of fear, making the reader want to turn around just to check that they’re alone before embarking on the next story.”
“Once upon a time, I made a very meager living as a fiction writer before I moved on to the ‘flashy’ world of professional journalism,” says Watt. “Recently, I went back to the digital desk drawer and dusted off a handful of stories that always made me proud, some published, some not. Phobophobia is the result.”
Boasting a haunting cover by artist Romik Safarian (www.romiksafarian.com), Phobophobia is available through Amazon.com, or, alternatively, an autographed copy from the author himself at his website, www.mike-watt.net.
I may be biased, but I think it's great!

Since last May I feel like I'm on a roller coaster, at least emotionally. High- watching one of our best friends get married in California and enjoying the trip; Low- hating my job and the money I was spending on getting there (remember gas prices then?); High- watching my Baby Sister get married in Las Vegas; Low- realizing how much we spent on the California and Vegas weddings; High- getting a chance to leave my day job and having them pay me to do it; Low- not having that money anymore; High- filming Demon Diva's; Low- filming Demon Diva's!; High- Cinema Wasteland; Low- going crazy at home; High- getting things done at home; Low- 'friends' showing their true colors; High- Mike publishing his book!!!!; LOW LOW LOW- My Mom's accident; High- getting to see my niece more; Low- having to drive in the snow; High- watching my Mother recover and having Christmas with her and my family; Low- My niece going into the hospital; High- My new niece being born; Low- the bed we slept on this weekend; High- seing Justin, trinity, regan and Debbie this weekend- etc etc etc etc etc...
I know I missed some points, but I feel like all I have had are highs and lows, no 'normal' days, especailly since the accident. But you know, through all of this I've really come to find out what is important to me. The people and the things, and I hope I remember this when things get back to normal.
Some highs coming up- Cinema Wasteland, The Official Release of Splatter Movie: The Director's Cut, My new Niece's (Caitlin or Katie) Baptism, Eating the 'lunch' Haley is currently making me (plastic turkey and eggs- yum), New productions in the works, seeing friends again, and much more. Mike and I had a great production meeting driving home from New Jersey yesterday and we have lots of plans for our company and our personal lives. It feels good to be able to plan again.
Thanks again to everyone that called or dropped us a note or a line or kept us in their thoughts and prayers through my recent lows. Even the smallest gesture felt wonderful and kept me going when I felt like I couldn't go anymore. I look forward to being around and getting out again.

It's been QUITE a last couple of months. I've been meaning to get an update done but things have been going on keeping me busy so I figured I'd wait until the holidays then things went kinda crazy.
For those of you that follow my status ramblings or Mike's blog or Facebook stuff or emails or texts you might have heard about my Mother's accident. She had a pretty nasty fall on December 21st and did a number on her spinal cord. She needed surgery and spent about a week after in the hospital and was moved to a Rehabilitation Hospital Tuesday, I think it was, and is doing SO MUCH better. Thanks so much for all of your calls, emails, messages, comments, texts and everything else I've been getting for support. It has meant SO MUCH to me! I know I've been out of touch but my number one concern is my Mom and her health. I've been traveling to Pittsburgh and back and trying to fit the holidays in there also. It's been pretty busy and hectic.
Since she's getting better I'm starting to catch up on things, it might be a while though, so I'm going to do a horrid, generic, non Emily Post approved ******** THANK YOU ********** to everyone who has kept my spirits up by the smallest notes you've sent. At a time when I've been so focused on family and friends, especially after some problems with some of those 'friends' lately, every little Hi has lifted me a bit and really kept me from sinking under.
Finding out how close my Mom came to more serious injury, or worse, really has made me realize what the hell is important to me. We've had some let-downs and what I thought was devastation by people that I thought we were close to this year and this made me look back and say screw it. Like I tell *** (she'll know who I mean) those that like me, awesome, those that don't, oh well and those that spread rumors, fuck 'em, and those that believe the rumors without knowing me or anything about me, why would I care? I'm tired of trying to make people into who they're not and overlooking the letdowns til they blow up. Life is too short, anything can happen at any time to take it away or disrupt it, and I have to take of those that I care about and that care about me. That doesn't mean I'm going cold or anything, but I can't keep letting myself and my family get hurt by people who, looking back, were never really friends just people we knew.
That all said, and probably way too much more than I should say or ever will again- J Thanks so much again to all that I haven't gotten to personally yet! I'm feeling so optimistic about this year and My Mom's recovery and Happy Cloud Pictures. We've got an interesting year coming up and I'm going to give it my all!

So let's see. I've spent the last two weeks sniffling and sneezing and drinking tea for my sore throat and coughing and one day feeling great and the next feeling horrible. I HATE colds! I'd rather have a 24 hour killer sick feel like dying thing than a seven thousand month sniffly back and forth cold. Hopefully it's almost done.
In other news, I was well enough to have a WONDERFUL birthday party thrown by my WONDERFUL husband, Mike. I posted a few pictures, don't have a lot, of the fun. It was great having my whole immediate family there and one of the cutest momens was having my niece wish me Happy Birthday and say she loved me. Took her a while to get used to the contacts and makeup I had on, sort of a fancy dress party, but she did it. There were many other cute moments but I shouldn't talk about them in public  . It was a great time with great family and friends. Thanks so much to everyone for coming and thanks for all of the fantastic gifts! And thanks to everyone who sent cards and comments and texts and emails. It really does make a gal feel good. It's been a tough time having another birthday and with the cold I've been feeling a bit down s thatnks to everyone who helped out!
In animal news, we have an addition to our pack. We welcomed Angel back into the mix last Sunday. Our friend Jim adopted Angel about 6 years ago when it became clear she wasn't happy in our growing household and Jim was a wonderful Dad. Unfortunately Jim has had some domicile changes and had to find a place for her at least for a while. So we decided rather than make her get used to someone else we are fostering her. She's handling it well, still mouthy and demanding as ever! Hopefully it'll be short term and Jim will be able to reunite with her ASAP. In the meantime if there's anyone I know WELL who can foster a sweet, lovable mouthy cat who needs to pretty much be the sole animal around, let me know!
And the same day we brought Angel home, we found that our dogs got into a squirmish and my little Zoya was a bit the worse for wear. So it was a tough week for the animal part of my life. So what do I do, go and volunteer at the Humane Society! Like I don't have enough here. But I am actually looking forward to getting out of the house and interacting with other people.
All in all I've gotten a lot done here and am looking forward to getting a lot more done. Also looking forward to acting and modeling. I can't believe I can actually take roles and do some travelling and not have to worry about work my job! Woo hoo!
Thanks again to everyone who has helped me through these past few weeks. I REALLY appreciate it!

Yay! I really do love this time of year, even though it causes me the greatest amount of angst. Especially the last few years.
First of all, when did retailers decide that Christmas started in September? Remember when Thanksgiving was the official start of the holiday season? When you could get Halloween Movies and decorations and costumes on Halloween still? I do have to admit I love the sales but when stores send back an entire selection of horror movies the day after Halloween because "Halloween is over" it gets really annoying. Or when I'm shopping for fun goodies and keep running into tinsel and trees. I'm tired of this and the only solution I see is not leaving the house or watching TV or listening to the radio (which a few are playing Chirstmas music already!!) or being on the internet. Ok, enough of that.
The otehr reason I've been angsty about this time of year is the number of birthdays I have under my belt. I never was one to really pay attention to age and think some people look better and act better older but there's something about being at the other side of 35 that's getting to me. Not sure what. Maybe the fact that after a late night of drinking I can't jump out of bed and run out the door, or that putting in a floor is causing me many aches and pains. Who knows.
Still loving the time of year though. We went to the second annual Bartlebaugh/Gmys Halloween Shindig on Saturday and I had a great time. Hopefully I'll get to see some pictures since I forgot my camera. Earlier that day I stopped at my Mom's to see my adorable niece dressed as an adorable little cow. (She won a prize!) And I also got to buy a few cute things.
The next day we got up and had breakfast with Ron and Stacy, stopped at Monroeville Mall for the Zombie Fest and stopped at The Steel City Con to see Debbie Rochon. After a nice dinner with her we came home.
Other than putting in the floors and destroying my house some more  not much else going on. I guess I should do some Happy Cloud Updates soon. Next blog I swear!

I HATE Japanese Lady Beetles or whatever the hell they're called! We had them in this house when we first moved in and they're been around since. Twice a year we get invaded but the awful, foul-smelling, worthless, biting (yes they can bite) creatures. It was worse the first few years and they've been dropping off in number. I thought our visitors were gone. But they're back.
Hopefully they won't be as bad as the year when our windows were blacked out, seriously, and we were vaccuuming 4 or 5 times a day just to keep up.
They are still back so look for the movie- Disney's Amityville Horror- where they cover the windows and sqeak in high voices "Get Out!" UGH, make THEM get out!
In other news, I had a great weekend  . Shopped with My Mom and Sisters at the new outlet place near me and then we were joined by My Dad and Neice for a while longer. Good times! After Mike and I headed over to the Coopers where Tara and I got all girly (I had on a Betty Page wig!) and we all headed out to see Texas Chainsaw 2 and Amityville Horror 2 thanks to Ultra Violent Magazine and the Oaks Theater. Fun times!
Next morning we headed out to brunch with Nikki and Skip, always great to see them, even though Nikki hates us  .
Last night we guests on 2 radio shows- Recluse Pictures and Radio and Horror Movie Fans.com Radio. I had a great time on both shows and I'll be sure to be back soon and let you know when!

I'm really looking forward to the weekend- after spending the week on home imporovement; fixing windows, riping up carpet, falling down stairs and bruising my ass- I'm REALLY looking forward to the weekend.
Tomorrow night I'm heading to the Oaks Theater to see Texas Chainsaw 2 and Amityville Horror 2. Gonna be fun! It starts tonight so head on out if you can. Details Here
Then Sunday, since we aren't going to make it to NYC to see Debbie Rochon at the screening of Colour From the Dark, I'l be around here doing two radio shows. If you're in NYC this Sunday head to the Pioneer Theater at 9 PM and see Debbie, the Director Ivan Zuccon and star Michael Segal. They're flying in from ITALY for this so help them and Debbie out by showing up. Theater info-
The Pioneer Theater
155 East 3rd Street, at Avenue A* New York City * USA
showtimes (212) 591 0434
If you can't make it- tune into Recluse Pictures and Radio at 7 PM. I'll be on talking about my movies and other fun things. I'll probably whine about my butt there too!
If you can't make that, or even if you can, tune into HorrorMovieFans.com Radio at 10 PM for an on air interview with me. And I'll talk some more.
Looking forward to this weekend and I hope to see or hear some of you!
Amy
