I’m going to continue to refer to the movie by its original title as the original is far superior. The problem with giving it such a generic title as THE CURSED became obvious when a theater near to where I live advertised not this film but the Wes Craven movie CURSED on its website and…

Adam slept. They had not attempted to move him from the floor, but Maribelle had covered him with a blanket. Judith sat in a recliner; Maribelle sat cross-legged on the floor beside Adam. Blaine paced a trail from the living room to the makeshift dining room/kitchen and back, hands in the pockets of his slacks.…

PART TWO: MASS EXTINCTION With the window of the van rolled down, Phil Hamm sat with his elbow propped on the door, sipping a can of Mt. Dew. In his left hand, the one resting on the doorframe, he held the directional microphone with just its tip exposed. He pointed it across the parking lot…

Psst! Hey, kid. C’mere. You wanna see a rad trailer for what looks to be an equally rad flick? With lots of blood and a glimpse at a badass werewolf? Nah, there’s no nudity. Sorry. Now ya won’t be able to understand any of what’s being said, unless you understand Norwish or whatever, but that…

A new Fantasy series set to star Norman Reedus and featuring the creations of the Jim Henson studio? Hell, yeah! Per Halle Stanford of The Jim Henson Company, Reedus will be “creating an entirely new universe of characters by teaming up with Brian and Wendy Froud [who worked on THE DARK CRYSTAL] for a project…

People who don’t like movies based on comicbooks (usually pretentious, self-important types like Martin Scorsese) tend to lump them all together, make of them one genre, which is not inaccurate but can sure be misleading. “I don’t like comicbook movies because they’re silly!” But this is an inaccurate statement.

So from the clip we can possibly infer that the werewolves in this film will be of the hairless variety? And the girl: did the werewolf swallow…

Cooter still couldn’t believe it. A man with one arm and a broken back. How had he managed to do it? How had Cooter, the baddest dude in downtown B’ham, let this freak get the better of him? *’Cause you’re gettin’ sick, dog.* Yes. That was it. Cooter did not feel well. The flu, he…

Given the way Celtic words are notorious for not being pronounced the way they are spelled—what’s up with that, anyway?—Faoladh is actually pronounced “freebird”. The song by Lynyrd Skynyrd (kind of the exact opposite of not pronouncing words the way they’re spelled, here, spelling them exactly as they are pronounced is also confusing at times)…

Look at the attached photograph. If you are of a certain age, did you own this book and accompanying record? (Thanks to hipsters, today’s kiddies know what a record is, as they are once again available on store shelves, for exorbitant prices this time around.) I did. I loved it. I wish I still had…
