Review: THE WITCH

No need for a spoiler warning, here. There really isn’t anything to spoil. THE WITCH, which opened in theaters this past weekend, is exactly what it purports to be. There are no twists, no surprises. Everything is exactly what you think it is. There really is a witch, the family depicted in the film really…

Human-Animal Hybrids Exist! No, Really! And You Can Blame the Freemasons!

This linked site is a parody, right? A satire site? It has to be. Sure. Nobody’s that stupid, to actually believe this, right? Yeah. Who am I kidding? Of COURSE there are people stupid enough to believe it. There are people stupid enough to believe ANYthing. But applying the edicts of Poe’s Law—which states that,…

A Yeti on the Ski Slopes?

The advent of Photoshop has made it way too easy for people to fake, well, anything, really. For sure it’s easy enough to create fake video and even easier to make fake photographs. Today I and, I would recommend, any thinking person, am and should be automatically skeptical whenever I/we see any purported piece of…

Make them SCARY, dammit!

I am referring to the upcoming releases from Universal Studios, featuring their world famous menagerie of monsters, the ones everybody recognizes, the stalwarts. Dracula. Frankenstein. The Wolfman.

Teenage Werewolves on the Prowl

They are just a bunch of disenfranchised teenagers with too much time on their hands and overactive imaginations, running around pretending to be werewolves, right? But let us not dismiss them so quickly. Disenfranchised teens with too much time and overactive imaginations have been guilty of committing murders. These kids may be playacting, but that…

The Werewolf-ish Links to DRACULA

Over at our sister site, vampires.com, I have already, soundly, I believe, discredited the “new” theory that Bram Stoker based his most famous creation, Count Dracula, on a friend of his from Devon, a priest named Sabine Baring-Gould. The latter name should be familiar to werewolf aficionados, as the man, an Anglican priest, wrote an…

Caveman DNA

As it looks right now, the Neanderthal, long recognized as a more bestial, savage, less evolved, hairier, and uglier strain of human being, who died out tens of thousands of years ago (unless they survive into the present day as Bigfoot and the Abominable Snowman), may not have died out at all. Parts of them…

Introducing the kinder, gentler Werewolves of WOLVERTON

Well, this is different. If diversity is truly the spice of life, then we should all celebrate this new web comic by creator Peter Von Brown. The werewolves of WOLVERTON aren’t particularly scary; in fact they aren’t scary at all. They’re . . . normal. Like, they’re regular people. Who just happen to be werewolves.…
