This one came to us courtesy of producer Sam Katzman, the same guy who gave us the wonderful wonderful gift that is THE GIANT CLAW, one of the hokiest giant monster movies ever made, due to its monster. (Honestly, if you aren’t familiar, just google it for an image.) Directed by Fred Sears, from a…

Proof That Werewolves Really Exist (?)
Okay, I’ll bite. The first thing I noticed about this site? It’s all about dogs. “Dog news and entertainment,” it says. And it’s called “Woofs.” Okay, sure. Not the sorta place on the web where one would expect to find information on werewolves, but what the heck. I sometimes stretch the umbrella here on this…
The Ultimate STRANGER THINGS Mash-Up
A big part of the success of Netflix’s STRANGER THINGS has to be its 80s aesthetic. It isn’t necessary to have been a kid in the 80s to appreciate the show, but it sure adds to it if you were. Despite the occasional mild anachronism, which is easy enough to ignore, an 80s kid gets…
What Lurks In Your Toybox?
If you were a child of a certain age, you had lots and lots of STAR WARS toys. I sure did. I wish they’d all survived in reasonable condition into my adulthood, as many of them are now worth a bit of dough. Not that’d I’d sell them, if I’m honest about it. But they’d…
What is the “Geedis”?
Nate Ferland is a comedian who writes for THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN. (Honestly I’d never heard if it. Sorry, Nate.) Nate came across this pin (see the photograph accompanying this article), a depiction of something called, or advertising, a “Geedis.” Much as was the case with me and the television program Nate…
Monsters Are Real. And They Aren’t Scared of Us.
This article from CNN seeks to explain “Why Bigfoot is Getting Nervous.” It’s a cool read. It reports on a sighting of the Wolfman of Chestnut Mountain, Illinois and features commentary from Ms. Linda Godfrey, who is famous as the lead investigator of the Beast of Bray Road, Wisconsin phenomenon and as the writer of…
Accused Former Cultist Reptile Alien Kills Boyfriend Over Row Involving Raw Meat
I almost wanna leave it as it is, right there. Just the headline. Honestly, now, can this story be improved upon by the providing of additional details? Doubtful, but I’ll give ’em to ya anyway. Make of them what you will. This happened (IF it really happened; I make no guarantees of its veracity, only…
Bringing Back Direwolves
Everybody on social media this past weekend was all about some show called GAME OF THRONES. I’m like, whatever, Agent Cooper came back on TWIN PEAKS and Eichorst got killed on THE STRAIN. Nothing else happened on television Sunday night, as far as I was concerned. I know a little about “GoT”, sure. I know…
Village of the Cannibals
I’d call bullshit on this one, but it’s been reported by credible news sources, which means there’s at least a 50% chance that it’s true. In the town of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, four men, Lindokuhle Masondo, Sthembiso Sithole, Lungisani Magubane, and Nino Mbatha, have been arrested after one of them–this article does not make it…
HAUNTED HAPPENINGS at Wolf’s Museum of Mystery
My favorite little repository of dark curiosities, Wolf’s Museum of Mystery in Saint Augustine, Florida–home of Eddie, the werewolf prop (or one of them) from THE HOWLING–will be hosting “Haunted Happenings” this coming October, Saturday the 21st. I plan to be there, even if only in spirit. Artist Jeffrey Wilkins will be unveiling ten pieces…
