Month: August 2016

Summer is by far my favorite season. Those who know me well are surprised that it isn’t autumn, which brings with it Halloween. No, it’s the sizzling summertime, which, living as I do in the American Deep South, is akin to spending four months trapped in a sauna. What can I say, I’m a glutton…

Ah, but WHAT a werewolf! Also, the TYPE of list of which we are speaking is more than a little relevant. We are talking about the “10 Incredibly Sexy Horror Movie Villainesses!” mentioned in the linked-to article available at the source link below. Note that it doesn’t claim to chronicle the TOP ten sexiest villainesses,…

If all else fails, do some copy on some cannibals! Werewolf marks are always eager to sink their teeth into a good cannibalism story (pun most definitely intended). This article, available at the source link below, offers several good cannibalism stories. My favorite is the one about Justin Bieber being a cannibal. Don’t believe me?…

Any Horror and Monster movie fan of a certain age is familiar with the original variety of “shock jocks,” the late night Horror movie host. The most famous of this entire species is probably Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, but she is hardly the first (just the bustiest) or the best. In fact her shtick…

Okay, y’all stick with me, here, as this can get a little complicated. The Wold Newton Triangle in England is, just like the Bermuda Triangle which its name calls to mind, or the Alaska Triangle, or the Great lakes Triangle (Ever wonder why such areas are always triangles? Why not the Wold Newton hexagon? The…

If you’ve never traveled the “Blues Trail” in Mississippi, I highly recommend it. Even if you aren’t really a fan of the Blues as a musical genre—and I admit that I am only a tangential fan—it’s a fascinating exploration of American culture and Art. You’ll do a lot of driving, but the flat Mississippi Delta…

I can’t review this book because I haven’t read it yet. I can review the premise: A werewolf onboard a cruise ship. That’s one of those ideas that seems so obvious, you wonder that no one has done it before. There WAS an episode of KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER with a werewolf on a ship,…

Every monster fan of a certain age has a profound love for the magazine FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND. There aren’t adequate adjectives to describe of thrill of walking into the neighborhood supermarket and seeing the latest issue of FMF on the stands. It was a creation just for us, the fanboys, and a love letter…

I’m not sure exactly how much I am at liberty to reveal about the upcoming production DEIMOSIMINE from my buddies over at Legless Corpse Films. Without giving away the plot, I can safely say that the title is NOT the name of the monster. I think. In a way it is, but the monster isn’t…

Perhaps I shouldn’t even be reporting on this. If there IS truly something to it, something nefarious in nature, then I’d be unwittingly spreading the toxic influence, wouldn’t I? If I talk about this movie, the French silent picture FURY OF THE DEMON, and some of y’all get curious and go watch it, then you…
