Marley woke. *Oh, God.* Her head felt like concrete, too heavy to lift. She opened her eyes to a world of fuzzy colors. *It hurts.* She rubbed away tears, used her hands to examine the damage to her face, her head. It surprised her to find no obvious indications of damage to correspond to her…

There’s that old rule—I don’t know where it originated, but it’s been around for a while—stating that, if you see nudity within the first five minutes of a movie, then it’s a safe bet that the movie is going to be garbage. (Exceptions are rare but they do exist. NOCTURNAL ANIMALS, for example.) If you…

The New York Toy Fair took place this past weekend, and oh the delightful offerings that were on display! So much awesome stuff that will be coming out this year! Where to start, even? We’re going to be getting a pair of ReAction Figures of TEEN WOLF, one in his basketball uniform and one in…

I hope you all will indulge me, friends. I don’t want to belabor the point, but as I sit typing these words the fundraiser for Wolf and Ali Mertz, owners of WOLF’S MUSEUM OF MYSTERY, is halfway to its goal. I don’t want to see interest wane, now that a few days have passed. The…

Seems like a no-brainer to me. Considering how much STRANGER THINGS mined DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS for inspiration, naming its monsters after characters in the D&D pantheon—the Demogorgon, the Mind-flayer—why would the gaming company not capitalize on the wild popularity of the show?

Calling to him., drawing him back from oblivion. “Wake up!” It would not let him sleep. “Lucas!” Familiar. “Lucas, listen to…

I have this dream of one day opening a museum of the odd and wonderful, like the Abita Mystery House and like my friends Wolf and Ali Mertz, who own Wolf’s Museum of Mystery. One item I had some interest in acquiring for my museum was Ed Gein’s car, the car he used to transport…

Some folks, when they learned that the upcoming remake of PET SEMATARY would depart from the plot of the original film as well as from the plot of the Stephen King novel upon which both are based, voiced their dismay. I, however, was pleased to hear it. If I simply wanted to watch the exact…

That recent Super Blood Wolf Moon or Super Wolf Blood Moon or Blood Wolf Super Moon or some variation thereupon inspired the folks over at TV Guide to put together a listing of the top werewolves to appear on television. Let’s take a look at them and see if we agree, shall we? The werewolf…

James Wan said of his mainstream smash AQUAMAN that the moments wherein he got to really embrace his Horror roots were those involving the creatures from down in “the Trench” attacking Aquaman and Mera. Those toothy, Lovecraftian beasts were the stuff of nightmares. Given the box office success of AQUAMAN and Wan’s enthusiasm, it probably…
