Werewolf-ology

This could be fun. The fictitious organization FVZA, or the Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency, has released some pertinent data concerning werewolves. ‘Cause, fer realz, if you live in a world where zombies and vampires are a problem that must be dealt with, it’s a safe bet you’re gonna have some werewolf issues, too. Haven’t…

Review: BLUEBEARD: THE TRIAL OF GILLES DE RAIS (Part Two)

Most all my original productions these days are staged at The Historic Lowry House in Huntsville, Alabama, an antebellum mansion located in the city’s historic cotton mill area.

Thrown to the Wolves. (Um, make that “Dog.”)

Seems like a lot of these type stories are cropping up as of late. Killer dog stories, people being mauled by dogs, murderers feeding victims to dogs, etc. Here’s another one for the record books. Newlywed Svetlana Batukova, a 46-year-old Russian woman, murdered her husband, 66-year-old German Horst Hans Hinkles (seriously?) and fed his remains…
