Not infrequently, I will have friends who know that I write for this and our sister sites (vampires.com, topcomics.com, zombies.org, and darkness.com) send me suggestions for articles, or links, updates on new products, etc. case in point, my friend Shannon brought to my attention yesterday the card game WEREWOLF: A GAME FOR DEVIOUS PEOPLE. Now…

I chanced upon this legend via the trusty old Internet. Despite living only a state away, and despite a lifelong fascination for werewolves and other monsters, and despite being a voracious reader focusing heavily on said subject matter, I’d never before heard of the Werewolf Girl of Georgia.

I was surfing the ol’ net and came across this image, and the suggestion. It immediately got…

After watching KRAMPUS: THE CHRISTMAS DEVIL–and the least said about that one, the better–I needed something Christmas-y and Horror-y to get the bad taste out of my mouth.
