Eight years. It seems more like eight seconds. Eight years ago I got offered this gig and it was, at the risk of hyperbole, a dream come true. Somebody willing to pay me for my words, and the labor of putting those words on digital paper. And having people actually read those words. It was…

Anytime I see somebody wearing a plague doctor’s mask in a work of fiction, and that work of fiction is in any way related to birds, I get a tad nervous. I wouldn’t want to have to litigate somebody. The character of my own creation—both figuratively and perhaps literally (or better to say, perhaps, conceptually…

Check out this King Tut action figure I discovered during a recent surfing of the net. It was easy, since the algorithms showed it to me as an inserted ad. Those algorithms do know me well. The devil is in the algorithms, as they say. Well, I don’t know if *they* say it. I say…

I couldn’t figure out how to review the new TOP GUN sequel for this site, or any of the other sites we manage (WEREWOLVES.COM and DARKNESS.COM). I’m honest enough about things that, if I’m gonna keep my receipt from the movie theater and write off the ticket price for my taxes, then I need to…

This one will be of interest to fans of Stanley Kubrick’s THE SHINING only. (And if you’re not a fan of Kubrick’s THE SHINING, I’ve honestly got nothing for ya; Stephen King gets a pass, as he has a right to not appreciate it, since Kubrick kinda highjacked King’s story and made it his own.…

I expected they’d do it. I never really doubted all the vampire marks would come through. The folks behind the celebration of the anniversary of the publication of DRACULA, held at Whitby, England, had decided to try to break the world record for the most people in one place all dressed like vampires. And they…

Some years back my lovely better half and I watched this awful movie called THE 13TH CHILD. A slumming Cliff Robertson (Uncle Ben in the first SPIDER-MAN movie and 80s spokesperson for AT&T) plays a creepy ol’ dude who has a pet tarantula named Bruno. At one point while watching the movie I jokingly said…

I’m drawing a conclusion, here. First, read the synopsis for the upcoming fourth season of WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, set to premiere on FX on July 12: “The newest season will see the group reunited, each returning to their house in Staten Island, which is in a state of complete and total disrepair.…

I don’t blame Eva Green as much for the abomination that was DARK SHADOWS as I do Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. Depp and Burton are the ones who claimed to be fans of the series. As fans, it was expected, and should be expected, that they’d do right by the property. They did very…

The Horror genre is well represented by Funko, the coolest company in the world. Their upcoming offerings along those lines already have me reaching for my wallet. Check out those figures for DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. I gotta get Zombie Doctor Strange with his cloak of souls. And check out the Funko…
