I’ve talked at length before about my fascination with “dark” fairy tales. I absolutely love it when a fantasy tale I was told as a child is reinterpreted and either brought back to its darker origins, or made even darker. 2008’s “Bloody Mary” theme at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights even in Orlando was a […]
Sword of omens…give me sight beyond sight! Or, just a glimpse of some concept art from the long-in-production Thundercats movie? Movieline has a couple of awesome-looking pieces of concept art from the upcoming production, written by Paul Sopocy and set to be directed by art director Jerry O’Flaherty. According to the article, the script […]

More great news from Variety, as it appears production has officially begun on Machete, Robert Rodriguez’s full length take based on the trailer he produced for him and Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse movie. It began production this week on `Machete,’ the film that Robert Rodriguez is co-directing with protege […]
As a kid, I was a big fan of the character of Casper, The Friendly Ghost. I loved the Harvey Comics starring the character, and used to enjoy the cartoons as well. It wasn’t until I was older that it occurred to me that Casper could be the ghost of a dead kid. I figured […]
I’ve been trying for years to find a good scary movie with a scarecrow as the slasher. What seems like such a perfectly easy concept is apparently not. I’ve seen so many bad scarecrow movies – Scarecrow, Scarecrow Slayer, Scarecrow Gone Wild…was the last good scary movie with a scarecrow Dark Night of the Scarecrow, […]
Continuing my coverage of my recent obsession with BBC America, I’m going to talk about a show I’m relatively new to, and only picked up because of a recent critically acclaimed mini-series originally meant to be the show’s third season, Torchwood. Torchwood is a Doctor Who spin-off surrounding Jack Harkness and his Torchwood team, who […]

Based on Greg Pak’s Planet Hulk storyline that ran through Incredible Hulk #92-105 comes the movie Planet Hulk, from Marvel’s animated division (what was their last movie? Was it Iron Man?). Despite how Aron and I felt about what came after Planet Hulk and World War Hulk (listen to our thoughts here), I enjoyed those […]
What a piece of sh*t. That’s the short, abbreviated version of my review for The Collector, the directorial debut of Feast I-III/Saw IV-VI writer Marcus Dunstan, who co-wrote this film with his scriptwriting collaborator Patrick Melton. I’ve read all over the net on how great this film is and how Dunstan is a fan made […]
