I like to think I had a little something to do with this. First I gave some press to the Limb Ripper before it ever came out in stores. It would have had to have been beforehand, as the stores wherein the Limb Ripper would be sold, the Spirit Halloween franchise, had not opened up…

Even Cavemen Knew That Incest Was Wrong
This one’s gonna be tricky. I grew up attending a small country church where biblical inerrancy was staunchly reinforced on a weekly basis. Evolution was a lie and Science was a tool the Devil used to mislead people. The world was only a few thousand years old, and anyone who didn’t believe it was going…
The Black Market for DARK SHADOWS
Lest we forget, despite its being famous for its vampire protagonist, Barnabas Collins, the classic daytime TV series DARK SHADOWS had its fair share of werewolves, too. Vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts, zombies, Lovecraftian-esque reptile monsters (only ever glimpsed in shadow), DARK SHADOWS had them all. Combine that menagerie with some truly outstanding acting (and occasionally…
Consumed by Coyotes
I hope, if any friends or family members of the victim in this story read this, they will forgive the headline. I’m not meaning to be insensitive. I just like alliteration. I caught this show, KILLED BY COYOTES, on the National Geographic channel the other night. I’d never heard this account before, or if I…
STRANGER THINGS Star Takes A Stand. Plus A New Poster.
No, the STRANGER THINGS star didn’t take a poster. Or if he did, I don’t know about it. This article’s headline actually refers to two different pieces of news. Over at our sister site zombies.org this week, I reported on how a woman used the mentality of the characters from THE WALKING DEAD to fight…
Book Review: DAWN IN DAMNATION by Clark Casey
Lemme give you the premise first: Damnation is a town where dead cowboys go, and other people, too, folks who weren’t good enough in life to earn a pass into Heaven but weren’t so lousy that they go straight to Hell, either. It’s a sort of purgatory, where the streets are always dusty, it is…
Sexin’ up STRANGER THINGS
Anticipation is running high for the soon-to-debut second season of STRANGER THINGS. Phenomenal young actress Millie Bobby Brown introduces the latest promo clip here, and the most recent trailer is now available on Youtube. It’s looking crazy good, and the cultural saturation of STRANGER THINGS couldn’t be much greater. This show is as “over” as…
Will Wonder Woman Save The DARK UNIVERSE?
Color me VERY skeptical about this one, but a new rumor making the rounds states that Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman herself, may be portraying the Bride of Frankenstein. And this after last week brought news that the Dark Universe planned by Universal Studios, the revamped shared universe featuring all the classic Universal Monsters, might be…
A Visit to ARX MORTIS
Considering that ARX MORTIS in northwest Alabama is the largest haunted attraction in the state, and the most critically acclaimed, and given my rampant fanaticism for all things Horror, it’s surprising that I’d never gotten around to visiting it. (Octobers are insanely busy for me. That’s my only defense.) This past weekend, I decided to…
Rey Goes To The Wolves
I’m a Horror nut through and through. That doesn’t mean I don’t love a few other pop cultural touchstones as well. STAR WARS, for example. I’ve managed to squeeze in the occasional article here and on our sister sites referencing the film franchise. The hulking Wampa from THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is a perfect fit…
