Here’s another one. Seven signs that someone is a psychopath. It’s clickbait, sure, but is it accurate? Let us see. I’d heard that thing before about psychopaths not being prone to “catching a yawn” like normal people do, but it seems there is some Science to back it up. Interesting. Psychopaths take lots of selfies?…

Will the success of the new KONG: SKULL ISLAND film, in theaters now, help jumpstart that gestating sequel to THE LEGEND OF TARZAN? Both films were underestimated by sources that were supposed to be “knowledgeable” about such things. Both outperformed expectations at the box office. Both largely appeal to the same core audience. Both star…

Welp, they were predicting a “soft” opening for the new King Kong flick this weekend. As is not an infrequent occurrence, “they” were wrong. KONG: SKULL ISLAND performed way over expectations (to the tune of about $20 million over) although admittedly it still has a way to go to earn back its enormous price tag.…

Listen, y’all, this vampire vs. werewolf rivalry has gotten out of hand. Sure, I’ve publicized the bickering going down on twitter between the folks who manage the werewolves twitter account (@werewolvescom) and the vampire account (@vampires). One, it amuses me, but it’s also good publicity. I might even have stoked things a little now and…

Playing around on the trusty ol’ interwebs this past week got me to thinking. I decided to type in “werewolf fossils” just to see what popped up. There were a couple of fun sites touting, tongues firmly implanted in cheeks, the various discoveries of Lycanthrope fossils from around the world; and some fan site with…

I sometimes worry that I lean a little too much on the Science here on this site. I do realize this isn’t an educational site, but come on, a little knowledge surely never hurt anybody, right? And the parallels to the mythos of the werewolf are obvious, aren’t they? If the werewolf exists as the…

Ah, my home state. Alabama the beautiful, they call it, and rightfully so. As lovely as the scenery is, though, and as much as there is to appreciate about it, there is a lot about sweet home Alabama to despise. It has a long history of redneckism and racism (the two are closely intertwined, despite…

I caught this one on Netflix last week and found it a pleasant surprise. Not a perfect film, but it’s a worthy effort. The premise is simple, as many if not most premises for truly great Horror films are simple. Four people break down in the woods, and get on the bad side of a…

Over at our sister site, topcomics.com, I delve into the intricacies of how the hit film lines up with and deviates from the comics that inspired it. It’s an article for comics fans. (And if you aren’t one, you should be!) I also carefully explain why the movie will NOT be the end for our…

I’m writing this on the day after the airing of the Academy Awards. I didn’t watch it this year, as I believe the annual awards show meant even less than it does most years. The big fuss the PC wankers made over last year’s Oscars, raising hell about the lack of “diversity,” while potentially a…
