Pay attention, as this one can get a tad labyrinthine. (Not really. I just wanted to take advantage of an opportunity to use the word “labyrinthine.”) There’s an old house located in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. (Fon du Lac? Does that translate into “Fondue Lake” in French or something? Or does it mean “fond…

On Direwolves
Apparently *not* having any interest in GAME OF THRONES is a thing now? Like, it has become so fashionable as to be ridiculed on social media? Have you seen the memes, with a picture of Lena Headey, saying something along the lines of “two more weeks until people who don’t watch GAME OF THRONES have…
Bigfoot Vs. Dogman
Who’d win in a fight? I know this is a site dedicated to werewolves, where we love werewolves and all manner of similar beasties, and I should be rooting for the Dogman. I have to be honest, though. I think a Bigfoot would clobber a Dogman. Why? Size matters. If we’re talking about the stereotypical…
Thoughts on IN SEARCH OF MONSTERS: BIGFOOT
The debut episode of this new series from Travel Channel served as a good introduction to the phenomenon of Bigfoot for the novices out there. It covered all the bases. Is Bigfoot a relic hominid, like Gigantopithecus? Do Bigfeet live underground? Is Bigfoot really an alien? There were some credible individuals featured in the program,…
The Human Puppy
I remember back in the day I saw this episode of Phil Donahue—I know I’m telling my age here, but I *was* just a wee bairn at the time—and they were showcasing adults who fetishize acting like infants. Grown men, all hairy and fat, wearing diapers, lying on the floor kicking and screaming and flailing…
Movie Review: HELLBOY
This one is getting lambasted by the critics, but you can’t put any stock in that. Commoner critics have no business reviewing genre movies. If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times. Ignore all the rest, then, and listen to a relevant opinion: mine. :) I love Guillermo del Toro and I…
PET SEMATARY: Where’s the Wendigo?
We got to *hear* it. Shuffling around in the woods. We even got to hear it howl once. And there was a picture of it in the book that John Lithgow’s character showed to his neighbor. But I was a tad disappointed that we never got to see the Wendigo in the flesh in the…
Dueling Churches
Church the cat, that is. Churches, plural, for cats, plural. Which one did you think was scarier? The blue fluffy undead cat from the 1989 original PET SEMATARY or the Maine Coon from the new one? I loved both of them, but I think the original has the edge in the creepiness factor. Something about…
THERIOPHOBIA: FEAR THE BEAST Part 44
Chaney heard screaming. She turned, almost colliding with a young couple as they ran past. Everyone seemed to be looking in the direction from which the two youths came, people shielding their eyes from the glare of the streetlights, standing on tiptoes to try and see over the heads of the crowd. “What’s going on?”…
JEKYLL AND HYDE Getting a Movie
I’m not that big of a musical fan, despite being a Theatre geek. The few that I do love have some connection to the Crime or Horror genres. I liked CHICAGO. I dig the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. And I love JEKYLL AND HYDE. The rest of them, for the…
