There is, or was, a “mud volcano” in central Georgia, a place known to the indigenous Creek Indians as “Nodoroc”. Basically their concept of Hell. They would allegedly execute criminals and prisoners of war there and dump the bodies into the volcano. Today the volcano—which was powered not by molten lava but by decomposing organic…

Jada’s Monsters
I used to work at this law film. Not *for* the law firm; as I was actually employed by one of the owners to do inventory work on a warehouse of Christmas village stuff she owned and stored at this law film (which did have its own warehouse). The law people tended to look at…
BLACKMANE Chapter 60
From the Journal of Maribelle Tate: Okay, enough with the negativity, Maribelle. He won’t get hurt. Stop worrying about that and focus those limited smarts of yours on figuring out where he’ll turn up, and when. Got it? Good. So, alright, here’s what we know, so far. Adam is somewhere in the neighborhood of four…
ABC of Forced Perspective
The first time I saw this clip played on the evening news I had no doubts that I was seeing a Screamin’ Black Panther, and Out-Of-Place animal, an ABC (Alien Big Cat). Such creatures are frequently sighted in my home state of Alabama. I’ve seen just such a creature twice with my own two peepers,…
Where’s Eddie?
After embarking on a nationwide quest just like Cecil B. DeMille did when looking for the right actress to portray Scarlett O’Hara in GONE WITH THE WIND, Rob Zombie, after auditioning hundreds of actresses, has decided that his wife Sheri Moon Zombie will be playing Lily Munster in his upcoming movie THE MUNSTERS! I know,…
Satan Saves Ozzy
Ozzy Osbourne credits the Devil with keeping him safe from Covid. “My wife had the virus; my daughter had the virus and I never got it. Being a devil worshipper does have its good points!” said Ozzy. At 72 years of age, having just come off a serious and potentially life-threatening staph infection after having…
Let’s Try That Again
Last week we were offered a tease of the practically achieved transformation scene of the beast in the new film THE AMITYVILLE MOON. But no clip magically appeared. This one doesn’t show us a transformation, but it does give us a decent look at the werewolf and of an unfortunate victim getting her face ripped…
NECA Does THE WOLFMAN
NECA-leka-high! The company known for its gorgeous sculpts on its heavily detailed, expensive but beautiful action figures—these are not your run-of-the-mill “toys” but specialty items for collectors, damn it! Which means they’re costly and spiffy toys!—is taking on the classic Universal Monsters. As part of the celebration of this most auspicious month, the company recently…
The Monster at the End of the Movie
SPOILER ALERT!!! Before we get any further. For LAMB. Although if you’ve read this far, even, I guess the monster’s out of the bag. Yes, a monster shows up at the end of LAMB. This is probably more likely to make you want to watch the movie than skip it, but I must offer the…
BLACKMANE Chapter 59
From the journal of Maribelle Tate: Man, today is going to suck. At noon—high noon—they’re holding the press conference. To tell the world at large that Adam escaped. “Lock up your wives and daughters, people of Earth!” Lock yourselves up, too, while you’re at it. Shit. The cops already know, of course. They’re already gunning…
