About GKS

On the surface, Giant Killer Squid is a place for the every-nerd to air out his or her laughing-gear on a regular basis. The tentacles of this “blog-ject” reach far beyond simple film-reviews and satirical rants – GKS is built on passion, culture and the pursuit of creative endeavors. GKS is for the self-depricating, the child-at-heart, the not-so-serious and the shades-of-greys.  Let’s meet Team Squid:

Ryan Ferrier

Hello my little oysters! I’m the founder and chief editor of Giant Killer Squid. I started this blog out of a visceral need to report and reflect on all things film and comic book related. I currently live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and am a web-designer by day. I love all things sci-fi and horror, and when I’m not running this here ship, you can find me raiding the racks at the comic store. Drop me a line here  if you like. Follow Ryan on Twitter @zombie_elvis.

Moks

Look Squidlets, it works like this. You don’t just wake up in the back of an alley one day, covered in Chow Mein, and realise you’re destined for greatness. No kids, NO. You cultivate the talent that’s been bestowed upon you. Maybe you leap from rooftop to rooftop. Maybe you levitate chalk. Maybe you look down Mrs. Henderson’s shirt, only to realise you’re seeing THROUGH her skin with new found X-Ray powers. The point is, the greatness that comes from within has nothing to do with genes, or chromosomes. It’s all about meteorites. And alien technology. And when the take-over happens, and believe you me, it’s-a coming, you’ll all come running to Moks. “Oh Moks, how did you do it? How did you rise to the position of Managing Editor of GKS? How did you keep those good looks well into your 30’s? How did you make that omelette without the aide of milk?” And I, Moks, will stand upon the hillside, high above you all, and say in a booming, authoritative voice…”I can see my house from here!”.

Auburn Slavec

Hi Guys. I’m the token fangirl of the bunch! I’m really into flicks prior to 1970, especially B-horror movies. I read my fair share of comic books-my favorites being among the Lantern Corps; but to be truthful, I’m pretty crazy about Wonder Woman too (a girl’s got to have a hero.) My home is just outside Boulder, Colorado where I am a men’s hairstylist. I talk sports most of the day so it’s always nice to hear from people that are into video games and comics. It doesn’t hurt if they can hold their own in movie knowledge and random facts either. If you happen to be one of those people (which I’m pretty sure you are), don’t be a stranger because I’m pretty awesome. Follow Auburn on twitter @mistressofddork.

Katie Cudmore

I’m Katie, and I seem to be female squid number two, hailing from Canada’s east coast. I was raised by television and proud of it, so I will be your resident TV geek.I am a RABID Torchwood fangirl, newb whovian, recovering x-phile, dilletante trekkie, and I guess you could even call me a gleek (don’t spread it around). During commercials, I read comics, get tattoos, devour movies, listen to punk rock, write novels, and tweet recklessly (@sheepterror). Oh, and I have a day job that involves answering phones and other such nonsense.

Gavin Stone

Where ever there is trouble, you are sure to find me there. I am a mischievous soul who is already ready for the zombie apocalypse. Heck, I may even be trying to bring it about. I am all about the fanboy inside me. I am an artist at heart, a writer by nature and an alien by birth. I live in South Texas but my mind lives in a magical place I call BoBoLand, where the grass is pink and the rabbits are six feet tall and eat humans. Yeah. Follow Gavin on Twitter @Slaten.

Sherry

I live and work in Los Angeles. Will tirelessly shill your movie/comic/toy/video game/teevee show/site for a couple cases of Rockstar. Pretty sure Alan Moore’s Watchmen and Ayn Rand’s Anthem are the best books ever written. If I had 3 wishes, one of them would be for Wes Anderson or David Lynch to make a Batman movie.

Byron McIsaac

Hail lords and ladies! I’m Byron (Mr. McIsaac if you’re nasty) and I’ve been brought on to GKS to write truly epic editorial and opinion pieces. I’m a novelist, voice actor, improvisor, gamer, Paladin by alignment (but rogue by lifestyle), bon vivant and all around renaissance man (though I don’t paint..yet). I am looking forward to having stimulating convos with all of you, so let’s get this party started. Also, for those that want just quick, timbit-sized amounts of my thought processes you can follow me on Twitter at @VA_Amon
