My compatriot Hans de Roos has done it again. This is the guy who brought to us the lost Icelandic translation (in actuality an entirely different version) of Bram Stoker’s DRACULA, aka MAKT MYRKRANNA or POWERS OF DARKNESS, the guy who discovered the actual geographic location of Castle Dracula (the location of the one in…

It remains as of this time only an order for a pilot episode for Showtime, but the cast for the prospective LET THE RIGHT ONE IN television series continues to flesh-out. It appears the series will be diverging significantly from the film of the same name, and that’s a good thing as far as I’m…

I literally just finished typing an article on the forthcoming NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD II, an unofficial sequel trying to appear otherwise, and how it, despite having some of the actors from DAY OF THE DEAD appearing in it, seems like a rather blatant but perfectly legal ripoff. (Bear in mind that, as NIGHT…

But…there is already a sequel to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. It was called DAWN OF THE DEAD. Actually there are several sequels, all created by George Romero himself. Then there was RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, which was an unofficial sequel. So what’s with this NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD II stuff? Sounds like…

Second only to GODZILLA VS. KONG, and this not by much, HALLOWEEN KILLS is the movie I’m most excited about seeing this year. (The new GHOSTBUSTERS is a very close third on that list.) I caught the trailer this past Friday when I went to see THE FOREVER PURGE and it left me practically giddy.…

That Walmart that is near to where my significant other works, that I’m not allowed to go into because they carry lots of geek fare and I always spend too much money? Yeah, I went back. Relatively small haul this time around. I got this Mego Phantom of the Opera as the Red Death figure.…

“And the Prince of Light thou hast appointed from ancient times to come to our support…to bring the Darkness low and magnify Light…to stand forever and to destroy all the sons of Darkness…”                               —The Dead Sea Scrolls, War Scroll, XIII No one is there to see Konrad Selivanov slide a wafer-thin disk, reflecting the colors…

You probably saw it in the headlines, if you keep up with all things geeky in your current events. Or you might have watched it for yourself, if you’ve been livestreaming the new LOKI series from Marvel and Disney. There was a throwaway reference to vampires by the Owen Wilson character. Except are there ever…

I was a little late coming to appreciate the PURGE movies, a journey I’ve chronicled over at our sister site DARKNESS.COM. The latest entry in the franchise, THE FOREVER PURGE, is the first and only one I’ve gone to see in the theater. Early on I was turned off by the sheer preposterousness of the…

That’s the rumor, anyway. I’m down with it. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a good everyman character, and he’s a good actor. If they’d cast, say, The Rock I’d be raising hell. Or Tom Cruise. We don’t need an action guy or a “movie star” for this one. We need an *actor*. The vampire is the star…
