The time has come for a blogathon celebrating the filmmakers, movies and TV from those usual horror and non-horror suspects... I hope to see some of you lovely bloggers, readers, and writers for our fifth foray into Hammer and Amicus movies and TV.

Welcome to Day One of the John Saxon Blogathon! When my excellent co-host Gill Jacob of Realweegiemidget Reviews suggested Mr. Saxon as th...

First, I cannot thank you all enough for your support throughout the Trade Deadline Blogathon experience. It is a challenging thing to do – we’re just about to the 30 hour mark out of 40 hours! – but your kind words, your participation, and your generosity make it so much easier. With that in mind, I wanted to share a story with you from the wonderful folks at Make-A-Wish Illinois, which really highlights why we love to support their mission, and why I’m proud to have had a chance to support them. The work they do is so important. So impactful. And it can hit very close to home for we Chicago Cubs fans. Here is Kaila’s wish to meet the Chicago Cubs:

Hour 39 is here. Just about 30 more minutes of staying up, musing on the Cubs, and considering the action (or inaction) from the day, before I can lay down for a glorious sleep. Before I do that, though, I needed to tell you all how much I love and appreciate your support throughout the Blogathon. Your kind words, your generosity, your attention – it means so much to me as I’m grinding through the toughest parts of this stunt. I know that I could not have made it through one of these things, much less 15 of ’em, without the great people of this community. Thank you for supporting Make-A-Wish Illinois throughout the Blogathon fundraising process. I believe deeply in their mission to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. I believe that these are experiences that these kids and their families need, and it doesn’t happen without the support of people like you. Thanks to your generosity, the BN Blogathon this year has raised more than $28,000 to support Make-A-Wish, which is a staggering figure, and I believe it’s right around the record (maybe we can still get to $30,000 to set a new record!). The total sum we’ve raised over the years of the Blogathon is now past $241,000. It’s jaw-dropping. I was honored this year to receive the 2025 Volunteer Fundraiser Award from Make-A-Wish Illinois, but I hope you folks really do know that it’s all you. I may do some typing and whatnot, but without this generous community, none of it matters. And, by all means, if you haven’t yet given to Make-A-Wish and feel compelled to do so, you can go right here and support the cause. As for the substance of this year’s Blogathon, my initial measure of success is always simply whether I can pull off the 40 hours or not. I haven’t been defeated yet, though I’ll admit that certain physical elements – the ‘ole body just not feeling very good by Day Two – get tougher each year. Hey, it’s not supposed to be easy. Of course it’s not just about staying awake for 40 hours; it’s about covering the action. This year’s total post count was 72, including this one. I have no idea how or why there was so much more content this year (it was 54 posts last year), but I guess the action did pick up a lot at the end of the first day. And then today really was crazy in the final hour, even if we were left feeling disappointed about one specific part of the Cubs’ deadline efforts. Oh, hey, and there were 10 live streams and a live podcast recording! Whew. Very full two days. I know I just said it, but I’ll say it again, because it’s the biggest piece of how I feel right now at the close of the Blogathon: I’m just so grateful. To all of you. To Make-A-Wish Illinois. To Michael. To Reid. To the rest of the crew here at BN. To my wife. To my kids. All of you together are what make this event possible, and I’m happy to do my part with all of your blessings. I am so grateful for your support throughout the #BNBlogathon, and so proud that we get to support such a wonderful organization as @MakeAWish & @WishIllinois. Hour 39, here I come. pic.twitter.com/wHnXe0hdFj— Bleacher Nation (@BleacherNation) August 1, 2025
