Check out this image of a Bigfoot trap I found while scratching around online. It’s supposed to be the genuine article. In terms of visuals it reminds me of this rhinoceros cage I saw once at a zoo. Not the pen in which they kept the rhinos. Rather it was the “create” they had used…

This linked article, “19 Movie Characters Who Were In Minimal Runtime, But Made Maximum Impact”, got me to thinking. A character doesn’t have to monopolize the move screen to totally own the movie. And with Horror especially, and even more especially Monster Movies (that beloved subgenre of Horror, for me the *most* beloved subgenre), this…

Weeks pass. Five weeks. Thirty-seven days. He keeps count. Thirty-seven identical days. They all watch him. They run their tests. He puts his hand out for Judith Mocker but no one else. “Just a little, enough for the test,” she promises each time she comes with the needle. They bring him bloody meat from the…

“I’m sorry you’re stuck in that cage,” Maribelle said to Adam, lowering her voice. “You know Judith’s trying to get that changed.” YES “Maybe soon, okay?” she said. I TRUST YOU Something caught in Maribelle’s throat. She made herself smile. Tap, tap, tap on the keys. BEAUTIFUL She looked up from the screen. “What?” A…

William Faulkner missed out on a great story. And this one is a great story, whether or not it really happened. As is all too common in such cases, the only authentication for it seems to be found on the Internet, and not exactly on scholarly or journalistic sites, if ya read me. But it’s…

I say yes. Just two different terms for the same thing. Other folks have different ideas. That’s okay. Until such time as someone manages to score an interview with one of these creatures and it gives us its views on the matter, it will remain a matter of personal opinion. What prompted this post was…

Alright, so I reached out to “Roger”, the purported survivor of the attack wherein the Beast of the Land Between the Lakes killed a group of campers back in the early 80s. My request for an interview was ignored. Make of that what you will. I was subsequently contacted by another paranormal researcher who warned…

I say things are looking promising for the theatrical experience. Granted fears of the Delta variant of the ‘Rona are currently killing the box office—again—as those vaccines promised to be the way out of this nightmare for all of us have proven far less effective than they said they would be. (The “experts” need to…

During my recent viewing up on the big screen of the classic Universal Monsters movie THE WOLFMAN (nee WOLF MAN), I noticed—or I should say my lovely better half noticed, as I was too much enraptured to be anything akin to a critical viewer—a seeming snafu. During the first transformation the viewer sees Larry Talbot…

No one had offered to provide her with a chair, but Maribelle didn’t want one anyway. She sat down on the floor outside the bars of the cage. This way would be better. She’d be closer to Adam, on the same level. Eye level, in fact. The lab smelled like it always smelled, wiped down…
