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…

“Sounds like some pretty rarified bullshit to me,” Hamm said. “Few among the Warumbi today remember the story,” Kimboro said. “Few of them believe. But my father believed, and his father before him. He taught these things to me.” “Sounds like ol’ what’s-his-name was smokin’ something,” Hamm said, chuckling. “Most of the Warumbi would agree…

You know, the serial killer who was revealed to be a werewolf in the original THE HOWLING, which was, those of you of sufficient vintage may recall, marketed as anything *but* a werewolf movie. They wanted to sell it as a serial killer movie, then surprise the audience with the…

Phil Hamm kept the taillights of the SUV in sight the entire time. It made him nervous. Couldn’t get too close or they might notice. Get too far behind and risk losing them. Hamm had no intention of having to play catch-up or of scouring the small town for them afterward. No, the SUV carried…

So Maribelle had a mate, after all. The fact did not bother Adam very much. He would kill this man the first chance he got. Adam was enjoying the ride. He had never ridden in a motor vehicle by choice before. The back seat of this vehicle, this SUV, had lowered, flattened, so that Adam…

Stop. You had me at “practical effects”. When I found out about this project I wanted to do my part to assist, so I offered filmmaker Gregory Lamberson the floor, to educate the rest of us on his forthcoming film THE FRENZY MOON. I admire the entrepreneurial spirit of independent moviemakers, counting some among my…
