Let’s start with the negative stuff and get it out of the way. Mr. A.H. is obviously not a professional writer. At times it is painfully obvious. The wonders of the Internet and modern technology now allow anyone to become a published author, sans editorial oversight. This is both a good and a bad thing.…

I saw this thing on social media, but I was out at the time, viewing it via my phone, and when I sought to save it, it didn’t save. Alas, alas! And yet I remembered the gist of it, thus I can still report on it! So, like, there’s supposed to be this eclipse sometime…

To keep this thing in focus, let’s consider only the werewolves of the movies/TV, ‘kay? Maybe I’ll do a “most badass werewolf of Literature” some other time. Which beast would get your vote? Like, if they all were put into an arena and had to fight it out, last werewolf standing, which werewolf would be…

Horror as a medium is at its best when it provides commentary and insight into the human condition, when it tackles the big ideas. FRANKENSTEIN, for example. The book, the movie(s), the characters.

Makes sense, considering Universal has admitted it is trying to copy Marvel’s template with its own “shared universe.” Jekyll is heading, or at least heavily involved…

As a general rule, werewolves have never held the same appeal for the general public, the “commoners” as I like to call them, as has the vampire. Buffy, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, The Strain; there’ve been plenty of vampires on the boob tube. Werewolves, not so much. There have been occasional exceptions, though. Check…

Science has believed for quite some time that our earliest ancestor in any way resembling us came from Africa. Sure, we could go all the way back to some single-celled organism floating around in a pool of stagnant water as our true earliest ancestor, but the one we are concerned with is that one immediately…
