Our ancestors got their freak on. No doubt about it. They did it frequently, and they loved ‘em some variety. Were cavemen and women monogamous? Who knows? But our species was not designed, not genetically programmed, for monogamy. The latter is not unknown in the animal world, but it is rare. Commonly, an animal’s instincts…

Literally. Well, no, not LITERALLY literally. But there is a place you can visit that is modeled after Hell, which is as close as any of us would want to get to the real thing, right? Not that the REAL Hell is a place. Rather it’s more a state of being. If it exists. But…

We tend to look at the state of things in our present day and bemoan the erosion of decency and sanity. We pine for the good old days before everything went to hell in a handbasket. We desire to return to a gilded age of innocence and morality that never existed. Things were simply better,…

Let me ask you, how could THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON be seen as racist? Likewise, who wouldn’t recognize the description of a part animal, part human creature as a device of popular fiction, of cryptozoology, or of folklore? Don’t you automatically think of a werewolf, or one of the filmed versions of H.G.…

I didn’t expect, at all, to find anything to comment on, for this or any of our sister sites, to commemorate the current holiday season. How could I connect anything related to Easter with werewolves, or with vampires, comic books, Horror or zombies? The latter would be a possibility, except I’ve reported in the past…

It is recorded in both the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Luke that Jesus Christ responds to temptation by quoting from a passage in the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy: “Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the test” (alternately, “Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God”). This edict, which seems…

I reckon you can tell I’m a big fan of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, as I’ve covered it a few times on this site, and movie buffs should recognize the quote that serves as title for this article as one of the lines of dialogue from that film. I just used it because I…

Here’s the exact quote from the linked-to article below: “The driver was described as looking like a wolverine with a short, stocky build. The same witness said the driver appeared to have ‘vampire teeth.’” This description is in reference to the one provided to police officers in New Haven, Connecticut, by a witness to a…

I guess I sometimes take it for granted. Things that, to me, are common knowledge, I just assume that other werewolf enthusiasts know all about them, as well. Why write about the case of Peter Stubbe, I might ask myself, when every werewolf fan knows all about that? It has been covered ad nauseam in…

I kinda fear the Geico has jumped the shark. Yes, I am speaking of the car insurance company. Used to be their commercials were really clever and funny; as of late, they seemed to have lost their edge, their originality. What the hell does Geico have to do with werewolves, you ask?
