Having just celebrated another Friday the 13th, the minds of all the Horror faithful turned to matters cinematic, to a certain Mr. Jason Voorhees, who has been too long missing from the silver screen. The lawsuit that has kept the movie franchise trapped in the doldrums for the past several years is largely a matter…

I do not drink coffee. I do not drink coffee. I do not drink coffee. I do not *like* coffee! I’m just going to keep telling myself this, over and over, and hope it sticks. Otherwise I’m gonna go broke. Buying coffee. Which I don’t drink. Which I don’t like. See, the problem is, Dead…

If I had any complaint about DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, it would be that they didn’t take advantage of the opportunity afforded to show the fans more universes. They so easily could have. Quick, second-long glimpses of. Say, the X-Men universe (well, they did give us Professor X, so there’s that), the…

Let me just copy the first paragraph of this linked article word for word: “It might not have been the story everyone was expecting to see, but that may be the reason why 2014’s Dracula Untold has garnered so many fans, despite its disastrous box-office performance. The movie quickly became an unlikely cult classic in…

Glenn Danzig is the Tommy Wiseau of the Horror genre. And he has his sights set on some werewolf action! Speaking with the folks at the podcast Radioactive with Mike Z, Danzig dropped some of his future plans, and they sound delicious. “The Vampires’ Vengeance is the Death Rider sequel [that is to say, a…

Now DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS has proven that Marvel can do Horror.

(DC has had greater success with its Horror properties.…

The entity created by Robert E. Howard (of CONAN THE BARBARIAN fame), Shuma-Gorath, is one big, nasty piece of work. A Cthulhu-esque interdimensional creepazoid thingy obviously based on Cthulhu, immensely powerful, more or a less a god. No way, then, would Shuma-Gorath be *anybody’s* minion, no matter how powerful that person might be. In DOCTOR…

H.P. Lovecraft put his works into the public domain before his death, but even if he hadn’t enough time has passed that those works would have entered the public domain anyway. That’s why anybody can, and pretty much everybody has, done their own thing with Cthulhu and the larger Lovecraft mythos. Sam Raimi made full…

SPOILER WARNING for DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. My favorite character in the film is Zombie Doctor Strange. Granted this is still *our* Doctor Strange I’m talking about. This isn’t the brain-munching version of the character from the Marvel Zombies universe. It’s our Doctor Strange temporarily possessing the rotting corpse of an alter…

Out of every Marvel movie that has come down the turnpike thus far, DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS is the one that most ought to appeal to the Horror faithful, and to the vampire marks in particular. It doesn’t have a vampire in it, but it does have a zombie. Oh, and there…
