I have chosen to cover TWIN PEAKS here on the werewolves site instead of on one of our sister sites (darkness.com, vampires.com, topcomics.com, and zombies.org) due to the connection with demonic possession and serial killers. These twain are a better fit for a website catering to all things werewolf. I do realize that not EVERY…

This past weekend was a lousy one for Horror. Universal’s THE MUMMY underperformed at the American box office (but did great overseas) and got slammed by bad reviews (more on this in a second). The independent IT COMES AT NIGHT has been getting glowing reviews on the circuit, but it also underperformed, relatively speaking, and…

The other night I was enjoying one of my rare, very rare, experiences in couch-reclining and channel-surfing. I chanced upon this television show on REELZ called THE SHOCKING TRUTH. This one featured the film THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. While it promised hidden, unknown, or not commonly known facts regarding the movie, and most of…

After Universal Studios cashed-in big time on Horror in the 1930s with its pantheon of black-and-white Monster icons, it was to be expected that the other major movie studios would want to get in on the action. RKO Pictures managed quite nicely in the 1940s, with the efforts of producer Val Lewton, who brought us…

Honestly this series just keeps getting better. In the latest issue, we learn what really happened all those years ago in ancient Egypt. Remember back in season one (of the TV series), they were hinting at this stuff, the two brothers, Lucifer (or Set, as he was known then) and Dracula, competing for the love…

Another comic to review this week! This debut issue of WOLFCOP, a new ongoing series, debuting the same week as PENNY DREADFUL issue three! I’ll take it! How IS this new series, you ask? Let’s start with the artwork, which is fine. No complaints there. Howzabout the story? A good comic must have both good…

The more I see from the forthcoming DARK UNIVERSE, the revamped shared universe of the classic Universal Monsters, the more hopeful I become. For example, check out this viral video for Prodigium. This last is the secret organization that will be at work in all the Dark Universe films, fighting the Monsters and trying to…

Man, all this conflicting information! There was that report a few weeks back wherein scientists postulated that human flesh wasn’t all that nutritious. Then there are all those reports about prions and Mad Cow Disease-like ailments that can result from cannibalizing one’s own kind. It would seem that the consensus was that anthropophagy wasn’t good…

The upcoming TV series MIDNIGHT, TEXAS will feature a were-tiger. Based on the works of author Charlaine Harris, whose TRUE BLOOD series led to a little television show of the same name, this new series will debut on July 24th on NBC. Wait. NBC? A NETWORK station? That’s not good. Not only will this limit…

If you aren’t a fan of TWIN PEAKS I won’t try to convince you to start watching the show. Honestly you’d have to go back and watch the entire first two seasons from 25 years ago, and the lackluster movie TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME, to be able to make heads or tails out…
