Sasquatch or guy in a monkey suit? It’s kinda hard to tell from this distance. I’m referring to the photograph above, supposedly taken by the body cam of a conservation officer near the “Howardsville Bridge.” Nice of them to tell us the name of the bridge but not the name of the river. The article,…

Aztec Golden Wolf
As I understand it, modern Mexico City isn’t a nice place. No slight intended; I’ve never been there. There may be parts that are lovely. I’m only going by things I’ve read and things I was told by a former resident of that metropolis, who described it as “hell on earth.” His words, not mine.…
Ben Cooper Is Coming Back!
This is big news to all us Monsterkidz of a certain demographic, those of us old enough to remember the glory days of Halloween costumes and little rubber action figures. The “Ben Cooper” company made both, and they were inexpensive, flimsy works of art. No, Art! Capital “A” Art. When I was a wee bairn,…
A Plea to Warner Brothers: We Need More TARZAN
Has it been a year already? Man, sometimes I can’t believe how quickly the ol’ tempus fugits. I wish it would slow down. I’d love for time to pass as slowly in the summertime now as it did in the summers of my childhood, back when I was a kid in school, like cool molasses.…
TWIN PEAKS Recap: Laura Is The One
Four simple words spoken by the Log Lady (insert sadface emoji here) confirms what we all kinda knew already from the acid-trip episode a couple’a weeks back, when we saw Laura Palmer’s essence materialize from the head of The Giant and go floating out into the ether: There’s something special about Laura. Like, cosmically special.…
Clearing up the (confusion concerning) HOUSE(S)
This one bugged me, so I had to get to the bottom of it. I will share my findings with you all, on the off-chance that somebody out there, somewhere, has been likewise flummoxed over this one. Ready? There’s this guy, Ted Dekker. He’s a Christian Fiction author. He co-authored a book called HOUSE along…
THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF
Well, it’s here. My first novel. It’s available for purchase, for mass consumption. After many, many years of toil and strife, my first book has clawed its way into the light of day. Please consider giving it a try. It’s only $2.99. Worth taking a gamble on. I think you’re gonna like it. I can…
Another Trailer for ANOTHER WOLFCOP
A pleasant little surprise this morning, guaranteed to make my day better. I log-in to ye trusty ole social media site, and learn that a new trailer for the upcoming ANOTHER WOLFCOP has dropped. This is a cause for celebration! 2014’s WOLFCOP was such a sweet surprise. Early glimpses made it look like some cheesy…
Anachronisms in STRANGER THINGS
I’ve just finished watching the entire first (and waaaaaay too short) season of STRANGER THINGS on my new DVD. Yeah, I bought the DVD. I’m a “Collector,” see. Toys, figures, movies, posters, any and all kinds and sorts of pop culture ephemera. We Collectors don’t much go in for this “streaming” and “digital access” stuff.…
TWIN PEAKS – An Itch That Must be Scratched
Now we’re at the top of the hill, starting to roll downhill. The second half of the season has begun. I think I’ve figured out the symbolism of the underarm rash. Is it all really starting to bug you yet? Irritating? And you just can’t stop scratching it? Or else you’re starting to break out,…
