I’ve never been to DragonCon in Atlanta. Just never got around to it. I spend enough time on the stage, in costume, in my other identity as a theatre junkie that the idea of cosplaying holds no appeal for me, and isn’t cosplaying half the point of going to DragonCon? The other half of the…

Everybody really does want to move to Florida, it seems. Even werewolves. You tend to think of Lycanthropes preferring dark forests in Europe, or dark forests anywhere. The south of France, maybe, or the high mountain peaks of Greece. If you’re talking about the American South, you’d think the Louisiana bayou country would be a…

You may recall my coverage here of my visit to Wolf’s Museum of Mystery in Saint Augustine, Florida back in May. A veritable smorgasbord of the strange, the exotic, the unusual, and the fantastical, the Museum of Mystery also features movie props and memorabilia, among these a bust of the werewolf Eddie as featured in…

While preparing an article this week on the forthcoming (supposed to have already been here) werewolf film BIG BAD, I was struck by the similarity of one of its posters to…SOMEthing. I couldn’t quite place it, but I knew I’d seen that image before. I wondered if I HAD in fact read something somewhere about…

Not me, that’s for sure. I’m thrilled to see it. The “it” in question is the trailer for an upcoming werewolf film, BIG BAD. This is the first I’ve heard of the project, although it was supposed to hit theaters in July and VOD and video in August. Again, I have seen nary hide nor…

Ask and ye shall receive! Just last week I was lamenting that Ol’ Stinker, the Werewolf of Hull, England, and denizen of the infamous Wold Newton Triangle, might have gone back to his home dimension. I speculated that the “window” that occasionally opens between our reality and his (its) might have closed up again. (Note:…

Astute readers may recall that I posted a few weeks back a “non-review” of the novel THE TURNING by author Micky Neilson. I had read about the premise—a werewolf onboard a cruise ship—and found it so promising that I chose to comment on it even before reading the novel. As luck would have it, either…

This one could easily go here on this site or on our sister site zombies.org. It concerns a guy who attacked and murdered a Florida couple, then proceeded to start eating the male victim’s face off. The killer was supposedly out of his gourd on the synthetic drug Flakka or something similar, and was a…

I admit it; I’m something of a hypocrite. I’m a guy with a collection of action figures and other sundry toys. I have enough to open my own small store. Yet I, if I’m honest about it, view the playing of that new POKEMON GO game by adults as silly. Would I ever be interested…

This article, available at the source link below, harkens back to a magical time, a more romantic time, a simpler one. Three months ago, to be exact. Back in those bygone days, the Werewolf of Wold Newton, Old Stinker, was still roaming around the English countryside, scaring some and exciting many more. The article chronicles…
