Yes, it’s true. If you want to watch a werewolf movie on the big screen, go see Robert Eggers’ THE NORTHMAN. You won’t see a werewolf like the sort you’d see in one of the THE HOWLING movies, no. Nor are we talking about real-world werewolves like the Beast of Bray Road and other such…

Sometimes there’s so much to say, it’s kinda hard to decide where to start. That really only applies when talking about something good. If you’re dealing with something completely lousy, you can phone it in, going down the list checking off all the ways the product fails. But if it’s superlative? Acting, directing, cinematography, music,…

“We need to get you to safety first,” Maribelle said. “Then I promise Judi and me will go find your friend Moe, okay? We’ll make sure she goes somewhere and sees a doctor, and maybe we can find her a place to live. Is that okay?” Adam nodded. *You feel compassion, sympathy, for God’s sake!…

The alarm on the clock radio activated. “Wouldn’t It Be Nice?” by the Beach Boys. Too loud. She always had to set the alarm at full volume or she’d sleep right through it. Eyes still closed, she felt around on the bedside table till she found the radio then slapped the snooze button. She whimpered,…

In the interest of fairness, I have not seen TURNING RED. That’s because Disney made the unwise decision to release the film straight to livestreaming, cutting out its previously promised theatrical run. (Liars, liars, pants on fires!) I can, however, read, and I’ve read a good bit about all the kvetching going on about TURNING…

Horror movies were one of the few, the very few, genres to prove successful during the Rona. With most theaters still closed and most audience members staying home, Horror flicks made some bank. How? For one thing, people were starving for entertainment, and those willing to venture forth were grateful to get it. Those movies…

The forthcoming fourth season of STRANGER THINGS may be the closest thing we’ll get to having Robert Englund back as Freddy Krueger. I hope not. Robert has another NIGHTMARE left in him, he’s said, and it’s for sure and certain the fans want him back. While we wait for the suits-in-offices to get their ducks…

The Vecna is the new monster threat we’ll be seeing in season four of STRANGER THINGS (debuting May 27th on Netflix). We already know that the Vecna was once human, but a human who has spent a long time in the Upside-Down and has mutated into a new form. Might that human be one Victor…

It sounds like a new kind of automobile, but it’s the new monster for the forthcoming STRANGER THINGS season four! In keeping with the tradition of the kids naming the monsters in the show after creatures appearing in DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS—the Demogorgon, the Mind-Flayer—the new beast is called the Vecna. In the world of D&D,…

“But if one life is sacrificed to save many lives, it is then justifiable,” the African said. “That’s easy to say,” Blaine said. “It is true. The Romans used to throw unarmed Christians to their lions. Men, women, and children. Yet the pagans in their cushioned seats witnessed the manner in which the Christians died,…
