Finally. We waited sixteen episodes for it. Sixteen weeks. We endured an agonizingly slow narrative progression–by design, lest anyone doubt it. And it was all worth it. The big payoff came this week. He’s back. He’s awake. Agent Cooper is back. And he’s on his way to Twin Peaks to confront his Doppelganger. I swear,…

Wolfman Tiki
I love things cute and collectible. When I was much younger and a horn-dog, I would have classified girls in this category. I’ve matured since then and know better. Women must be treated with respect! Also, I was never any good at being a “playa,” though it wasn’t for lack of trying. ANYway. Things cute…
Lizard People of the Great Eclipse
If you’re reading this and you’re not dead, you should be thankful. As of the typing of this article, the solar eclipse of 2017 has just passed. Did you see anyone being slaughtered by a Lizard person? No? Surely somebody out there did. We were supposed to be lousy with ’em, once the sun got…
STRANGER THINGS – More FUNKOs!
Remember when Funko released its STRANGER THINGS figures, and I complained about the figures that were missing? Where’s the Sheriff? I lamented. Remember how I said that there’d be a second wave of collectibles soon, and that the Sheriff would be amongst them? Called it! Not only are there going to be the standard Funko…
Two Massacres That Never Happened
Lots of Bigfoot in the news this week. Granted, a couple of the pieces I came across are not exactly “news”, as they occurred some time ago; one of them happened a LONG time ago. But I only came upon the reports this past week, as part of my research, my seeking of material to…
“Don’t shoot, I’m NOT Bigfoot!”
Remember last week’s post, “Don’t shoot Sasquatch”? Sure you do. It chronicled how police in North Carolina had released a statement directing residents not to open fire on the hairy hominid after sightings were reported. Turns out it’s a good thing nobody started shooting. They might not have been shooting at Bigfoot after all. They…
The Worst Werewolf Movie Ever Made
Please be aware that this is not a “worst movie ever made” in the way that Ed Wood’s PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE is called “the worst movie ever made.” Wood’s film is magical. It is so much fun, so entertaining, and from opening credits to end it is obviously the work of a passionate…
TWIN PEAKS Episode Recap 8-20-17
I’m starting to get sad, as we draw closer to the finale of the season, yet I remain hopeful–nay, I doubt it not at all!–that there WILL be a season four–and that we WON’T have to wait another 25 years for it! Having acclimated to the deliberate, methodical pacing of this season, I no longer…
How Would an Eclipse Affect a Werewolf?
(First off, “affect” is a verb; “effect” is a noun. I see people get this one wrong frequently. Pardon my inner grammar nazi.) The “fact” that a full moon triggers a person’s transformation into a werewolf is a neat bit of canon that was largely made up by Hollywood; the influence of screenwriter Curt Siodmak,…
Review: THE HOWLING the Comic Book, Issue 2
Subtitled “revenge of the Werewolf Queen,” this series is written by Micky Neilson, author of the magnificent novel THE TURNING and its sequel. Issue number one of the series scored a home run with me. Did the follow-up issue suffer from the “sophomore curse,” or did it maintain the level of excellence established by the…
