There were a few surprises when they released the list of nominees for the Golden Globe awards, which will air in January 2019. For the most part, though, it was business as usual, the same kind of tired business that makes awards shows to a large extent irrelevant. They couldn’t quite ignore BLACK PANTHER, though…
TV Review: DEADLY LEGACY
For a True Crime junkie like me, it was common knowledge that John Wayne Gacy murdered 33 young men and buried their bodies in the crawlspace under his house. But even I didn’t know that the remains of eight of those victims had never been identified. Never, until now. The development of technology, the ability…
Ed Wood’s THE HOWL OF THE WEREWOLF
As I sit typing these words, it is the fortieth anniversary of the passing of Ed Wood. In his later years, Ed had to resort to creating porno films to earn a living. He also wrote a great deal of erotica, among the latter this werewolf story. I offer my heartfelt appreciation to those fans…
MYTHICAL BEASTS: Demons
Next week, the Science Channel series MYTHICAL BEASTS finally gets around to doing werewolves. I’m stoked. This week’s episode was cool, too, though, focusing as it did on demons and devils and, by extension, such things as trepanning (Medieval people boring holes into their skulls in order to let demons out), witches (Medieval people being…
Celine Dion and the Devil
They say the Prince of Darkness can take many forms, and that he always appears to you in the form of something desirable and tempting, or at the least benign. I can’t really say that I find Celine Dion all that tempting, but she does qualify as benign (unless you want to argue that her…
And MORE on the Devil
Ol’ hornhead is in the news a lot this week. First somebody revealed that Celine Dion is one of his secret acolytes. (Not so secret anymore, is she, hornhead!) Now I can report that his royal horniness has settled his lawsuit against Netflix and their show THE CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA after they used his…
Krampusnacht
I did warn you all last week that the holiday season would bring with it lots and lots of Krampus coverage, you will remember. And so it does. The Krampus mania is underway. In a couple’a weeks I’m going to be visiting a Krampus-themed haunted attraction, good Lord willin’ and the Creek don’t rise. (The…
THERIOPHOBIA: FEAR THE BEAST Part 27
Chaney left the police station and drove straight home. One of the policemen–Whitlow, he’d said was his name–had walked her to her car, trying to reassure her. The police were doing everything within their power to find Marley. Please go home and try to get some rest. She expected they rehearsed that bullshit. At least…
New WEREWOLF: THE APOCALYPSE Video Game In Development
I don’t do gaming. I’ve mentioned that before. But when a new werewolf-themed game hits the shelves, or is announced to be hitting the shelves at some point in the foreseeable future, I feel the need to report on it. Think of it as a public service announcement. WEREWOLF: THE APOCALYPSE—EARTHBLOOD is a going to…
New Species of Wolf Discovered
Did you ever hear that thing about Iceland and Greenland being named in reverse relative to each other? Like, Iceland sounds all frozen and frigid, nothing to see but ice and snow, and it’s really quite beautiful. Greenland, on the other hand, isn’t green. At all. They named it that to trick people into settling…
