These days, we’re having to take a second look at American heroes. Daniel Boone is no different. He accomplished some great things. He blazed a trail into the West for a young country and helped make “manifest destiny” possible—along with all the negatives associated with that. (There were already people there, y’know.) But that’s not…

Feeling BLOODTHIRSTY?
There’s a new werewolf movie out, BLOODTHIRSTY, that played at Cannes (virtually). Director Amelia Moses said of the film: “I’m looking for something more visceral, that slowly gets under your skin and for me, as a horror fan and an audience member, those are the films that I enjoy more.” And regarding the creature itself,…
THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 33
“Very well,” I replied. “Show me.” “This, here,” as she lifted a sack from the floor, “is ground from the bones of an animal that no longer exists. It will last you the rest of your life, as only a pinch is needed for each dosage. Take care not to lose this!” “I will,” I…
Movie Review: THE BOY
Not to be confused with the theatrical film of the same name from 2016 featuring the animated doll, this one could just as easily have been titled “The Care and Raising of a Serial Killer.” It’s disturbingly accurate in terms of showing the audience the ways it can too easily happen. There’s that whole debate,…
STRANGER THINGS Creators Sued—Again—For Copyright Infringement
There’s this dude named Aaron Sims, who worked on concept art for the series. Before that, he allegedly worked with a dude named Jeffrey Kennedy who wrote the screenplay for a movie titled TOTEM. The lawsuit alleges that Sims recycled “plot, sequence, characters, theme, dialogue, mood, and setting, as well as copyrighted concept art” for…
MONSTROUS
You know, I get sent links all the time to movies from production companies wanting me to review them. All the time. Most of the time those movies aren’t of particular interest to me, or aren’t relatable enough to the subject of this website or one of our sister sites (vampires.com and darkness.com) for me…
The Yellowstone Zone of Death
If you want to kill somebody and you want to get away with it, you need to do it in Yellowstone National Park. But only in a specific part of Yellowstone National Park. Here’s how that works: almost all of the park is located in Wyoming, but 50 square miles of it are located in…
THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 32
I learned, after making my way back to the boat and finding the surviving men waiting for me, that there had occurred some debate amongst the group regarding leaving me behind. Oran had upbraided those leaning in that direction, challenging their pride and condemning their, as he called it, abandonment of duty. He’d risked having…
The Craven Cut
The most obvious comparison is the situation with the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie, the one done by Joss Whedon to less than enthusiastic reception and the original, which is now being finished by the original director Zack Snyder. But it also makes me think of what happened with the fourth EXORCIST movie, where there are actually…
Kid-Friendly Universal Monsters? Sure!
When it comes to the classic Universal Monsters, we Monsterkidz will take as much as we can get! There are several new projects in the works, thanks to the incredible success of this year’s THE INVISIBLE MAN both critically and financially. (Remember when this one came out? It seems so long ago now, though it…
