Joe Barlow is a freelance writer who turned to film criticism after realizing his gross incompetence in everything else. A screenwriter and amateur filmmaker, Joe won a small degree of national attention when his first cinematic offering, a spoof of The Wizard of Oz and The Blair Witch Project entitled The Wicked Witch Project, was featured on television and in newspapers from coast to coast.
Joe is the author of 100 Nights in the Dark: A Collection of Contemporary Film Reviews and Essays, published in early 2001 by I-Universe Publishing. The book is available at bookstores everywhere, as well as online retailers such as Amazon.Com and BarnesAndNoble.Com. Joe has also written two novels (both unpublished as of this writing), and recorded an album of original acoustic music for Europa Records, which was released in 1996. It’s now out of print.
When he’s not laughing his way through Joel Schumacher movies, Joe enjoys reading, playing guitar, surfing the 'net, collecting cult/horror DVDs, and worrying about all kinds of evil things he can’t change, such as death, taxes, and the frightening success of Pauly Shore.
Although he’s been known to lord his immense (and complete!) collection of Mystery Science Theater 3000 videotapes over the heads of any drooling fanboys he may chance to meet, Joe is also an avid collector of Hitchcock and Kurosawa laserdiscs.
Joe lives in Scranton, Pennsylvania, with his wife Amy and their twin sons, Jeffrey and Bryan (born November 2000). He is the wind beneath your wings.
