One of my dawgs, a longtime fan of DAYS OF OUR LIVES (one of the few daytime soap operas still on television) told me that the Devil was back. The very next day I tuned in. I missed out on the time the Devil first invaded the show, possessing leading lady Deidre Hall; I had…

BLACKMANE Part 95
What is the true nature of a man? Avni Natarajan had to answer this, the greatest question, the greatest mystery of Human history. The central question, perhaps, in all existence. Was Man a random occurrence, no more than the result of the process of Evolution, an ape that lost its fur but grew a big…
BLACKMANE Part 94
The horn had alerted them to his presence. Luther couldn’t see the dogs; he figured the pens were somewhere in the back, but even from a distance the noise was overpowering. Baying, howling, snarling. *How many a’ them dogs has he got back there?* The screen door of the house opened. Colonel Andrew Jackson Schupe…
Revisiting the Classics: THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE
This one puts yet another spin on the lycanthropy angle. Instead of a werewolf this time around, or a were-panther like in the CAT PEOPLE movies, THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE from 1959 (the same year, notably, as the greatest film ever made, Ed Wood’s PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, was released) offers the viewer a were-alligator.…
BLACKMANE Part 93
There weren’t many men in the world that Luther Tate outright hated. Plenty he didn’t like, but he could count on one hand the ones he’d known, over the course of his life, that he just plain detested. A short list. Colonel Andrew Jackson Schupe was at the top of that list. Perfect way to…
Candyman Plays Werewolf
That’s werewolf the game. Not “Candyman plays *A* werewolf”. I wish that were going to be the case. Can you imagine Tony Todd as a werewolf? Talk about some perfect casting. Alas, we shouldn’t expect to see Mr. Todd sprouting fur and fangs in this one. The premise does sound pretty dope, though: “Werewolf Game…
TEEN WOLF Gets a Movie
From the linked article: “Tyler Hoechlin is expected back as the character Derek Hale, but his deal is still being finalized. Additionally, Ian Bohen is back as Peter Hale and Khylin Rhambo will return as Mason Hewitt, with Vince Mattis, Nobi Nakanishi and Amy Lin Workman also signing on.” The movie will release on the…
STRANGER THINGS Goes Full Horror Show
If you’re like me, your first thought upon hearing this news may have been “Wait, wasn’t it *always* Horror?” And the answer is yes, it was, but it was always more PG-13 Horror, more like the IT made-for-television miniseries than the theatrical films. The show is now transitioning, it would seem, more towards an R…
BLACKMANE Part 92
“Y’see, my boy, old lady Natarajan wants revenge,” Phil Hamm said. “Revenge?” Blaine replied. “There an echo in this place?” Hamm said, slurping on the beer. “That’s what I said, ain’t it? Yes. Yes, that is what I said. Revenge. With a capital R.” “Why?” Blaine asked. “Now that’s a much better question. Gets to…
