I promised Twitter user @Quebecoiswolf that I would give him/her credit for bringing this to my attention, so thanks, @Quebecoiswolf! “This” in this case is SNARLBUCKS, the werewolf-themed coffee mug. I’m always happy to help an enterprising creator hawk his/her wares if I like said wares, and I think the Snarlbucks mug is adorable. You…

Mane vs. Kane
Reports are that at a recent Horror con, stars Tyler Mane and Kane Hodder were both asked which of the classic Horror Monsters they would like to play. Both of them chose the Frankenstein monster. Unfortunately for them both, it seems Javier Bardem will be playing the role in the upcoming remake from Universal Studios.…
Nazi Furries
My favorite targets for my seemingly vitriolic yet ultimately benign mocking—since I got in trouble for being too harsh in my criticisms of TWILIGHT and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES—are Furries. They are such easy targets, too. Grown men and women who like to put on animal costumes and—do things. (There might be kids reading this article,…
The Beaster Bunny
By the time you all are reading this, Easter, the holiday, will be over. Unless you, like me, belong to one of the high liturgical Christian denominations, in which Easter is an entire SEASON. It runs for fifty days thereabouts, from Easter Sunday to the Day of Pentecost (the coming of the Holy Spirit to…
(Comic) Book Review: PENNY DREADFUL #1
I made a point of hitting my local comic book shop of choice this past weekend, because I knew that the first issue of PENNY DREADFUL: THE AWAKENING, the new series being written by TV series executive producer Chris King, had come in. Ever since all us dreadfuls (that’s what hardcore fanboys and fangirls of…
Human Flesh Isn’t Nutritious
Werewolves, traditionally, are human beings that transform into wolves or, more popularly today, wolf-like but still partially human hybrid creatures, and eat often people, or attempt to do so. Anthropophagy, or cannibalism, is the practice whereby a human eats the flesh of another human. For this reason, any time cannibalism appears in a headline it’s…
Werewolf on Drums
Scroll down on this list of “15 Dark Secrets About the Muppets” to number ten. The others aren’t really that interesting, anyway, nor are they particularly “dark.” The one we will concern ourselves with is the one relating to Animal, described by puppeteer Frank Oz in five words: sleep, food, drums, sex, and pain. (Not…
Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
I know this movie came out a month-and-a-half ago. I’ve just been really busy the past few weeks. I only had the chance to go see the movie over this past weekend. Honestly I doubt you all need a review, anyway—but such has never stopped me before from sharing my views and opinions with the…
Update on the PENNY DREADFUL Comic
I live about an hour away from my comic shop of choice. There are shops closer to where I live, but this one is owned by a friend of mine, so I give them my business. Because of the distance, it isn’t always convenient for me to swing by the store to pick up my…
Werewolf Smartphone
I only recently got a Smartphone. Like, a few months ago. I always said I didn’t have the patience to own one, that I’d end up throwing it across the room, thus shattering it and negating the desired effects of owning one in the first place. I clung to my outdated little flip-phone as to…
