They arrived in Folkston right as the sun crested the horizon, painting the world the color of a fresh orange. Looks like it’s gonna be a beautiful morning, Maribelle said to herself. Perfect for my homecoming. Mine, and Adam’s, too, I guess. Adam had slept part of the way; Maribelle had even napped a little…

Concerning that image that was released as a tease for the new fourth season of STRANGER THINGS. I got so excited seeing Freddy Krueger in the background that I failed to notice, or note, that Michael J. Fox’s TEEN WOLF is also featured. I do think I’d still love STRANGER THINGS if it wasn’t set…

As the debut of the long-awaited, much-delayed fourth season of the massively popular livestreaming series is upon us, we’re seeing and hearing all kinds of examples of pop culture saturation. I love this kind of stuff. Usually—far too often, anyway—when you see society get all excited about something, it’s something I hate, like sports, or…

No, don’t take this as any kind of conformation. This is just a bit of dream casting on my part. What Marvel will do, and perhaps to their detriment, is put someone other than King T’Challa in the Black Panther costume. (If it ends up being anti-vaxxer transphobe Letitia Wright, I’m out.) It wasn’t necessary.…

This brasses me right the hell off. I never got to visit there. In a way that’s for the best. Had I ever been there, and established memories there, I’d probably take the closing of the place, the Monster Café at the Universal Studios theme park in Florida, a lot harder. As it is, I’m…

I really have no idea why there are two S’s in “dissecting”. If you say “bisecting” you only use one S. In truth “dissect” ought to be pronounced diss-ect. As in “diss”, as in to be disrespectful. We are most certainly *not* going to diss the new poster for the forthcoming (and long anticipated) fourth…

I’ve mentioned before how I’ve started watching DAYS OF OUR LIVES once I found out the Devil had returned as a regular character. I have loved every ridiculous minute of it, too. Sure there have been some days when ol’ Scratch didn’t show up at all. Those days were disappointing. But the times when he…

I tend to go off on rabbit hunts. When I catch a scent, I stay on the trail, sometimes bypassing the rabbit altogether if I detect the scent of something more desirable and/or potentially filling to my predator’s belly. While working on an article for our sister site VAMPIRES.COM involving the Frankenstein Monster, I caught…

Does Fritz’s mistake in the 1931 masterpiece FRANKENSTEIN absolve Victor Frankenstein…sorry, make that *Henry* Frankenstein…of his original sin? One of the biggest themes of the novel FRANKENSTEIN, if not *the* biggest theme, is that of a man going too far in the pursuit of knowledge, treading in territory that is beyond him, a man “playing…

“You heard it with your directional microphone, Mr. Hamm,” Kimboro said. “What name has the creature chosen to call itself?” Hamm stopped smiling. He felt a prickling sensation at the base of his neck, unseen fingers tickling at his spine. “A new Adam,” Kimboro said, “fashioned not by the hand of God but by the…
