Marley decided to watch some TV while she waited for Leland to wake up. She went to Leland’s easy chair, crammed into the trailer’s kitchen with the rest of his furniture, and sat down. The remote for the TV had been left on the stove. She could reach it from where she sat, and she…

To quote Sophia Petrillo from THE GOLDEN GIRLS, picture it: England. The 15th Century, during the English Civil War. Forces loyal to the king were pitted against the fundamentalist forces of Cromwell. Prince Rupert of the Rhine, nephew of the British monarch King Charles I, was so fierce and successful in battle that it was…

Out of all the werewolf movies out there, there are two, only two, that stand in contention for the title of greatest werewolf movie ever made. Universal Studios’ 1941 masterpiece THE WOLFMAN (originally the grammatically incorrect THE WOLF MAN) starring Lon Chaney Jr. and Hammer Studios’ 1961 equally masterful THE CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF starring…

Her head bounced along the ground, dragged over concrete and grass. When the Beast leapt through the air it bit down…

Seems like I just finished writing an article on Funko, the world’s coolest company. It seems that way because I *did* literally just finish writing such an article. Now there’s some more Funko news to relay, this time having to do with STRANGER THINGS. There is gonna be a shit-ton of new STRANGER THINGS stuff…

There is a mansion in Vancouver, British Columbia that has a portal to Hell inside it. But a court has ruled that this isn’t a good enough reason for the purchaser of the property to get her money back. The hell you say! Quoting a local real estate executive: “Portals to hell are a niche…

I’m using “over” here the way it’s used in the world of professional wrestling, which developed out of Carnie-speak. To be “over” means that a performer or concept has gotten “over” with the crowds.
