In case I didn't sell yesterday's cartoon, the Bride of Dracula episode of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, well enough, well, did I mention Dracula's sidekicks are a Wolfman and a Frankenstein Monster. Watch out for that twist ending, though! By the way, Dracula, good luck on falling for one of the like three…

There are several delightfully cheesy 70s and 80s superhero cartoon shows that featured an appearance by monster, most prominently Dracula. Thankfully, at least for the moment, most of the appear on Dailymotion, so I'd so check them out. Here's a great one, the Bride of Dracula episode of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. That's…

Friday the 13th! And yes, I'm *still* spending a lot of time watching Ft13th gameplay videos on YouTube.Today unsurprisingly they downloaded a ton of new content for fans, most notably a new Jason with unique weapon and kills, a new counselor (kind of a Tommy Chong guy) and a bit new map. They also…

I guess people were generally disappointed with It's final appearance in the mini-series. It's nearly impossible to bring 'the ultimate evil' or whatnot to the screen and not have that be so (see Lovecraft). In a book your imagination fills in what you fear, on screen it's concrete and right there and it's hard…

I doubt the movie (the first of two, especially now that the first one made a boatload of cash) featured an I Was a Teenage Werewolf-inspired beastie. That was the kind of movie King and I grew up watching on TV, one doubts 1% of kids today have seen it. Even so, I haven't…

  It's got to be difficult to work around an iconic image like this one (although to be fair I've seen neither version), but I think the 'friendly' clown in the sewer is creepier than the more overtly sinister one.

Sigh, it's Monday.

Out of T-Fest MotD, so here's a leftover Daimon Hellstrom cover. Obviously I like this one, this might be one of the only Johnny Blaze GR appearances I've never read. Still, I suspect the 'guest stars' are illusions or something (or robots in other books). I used to hate that sort of thing when…

So this year's wrap up T-Rex movie was the direct to video cheapie Future Wars, with its alien future slaves, space ships, three dollars cyborgs, empty cardboard boxes, that one hallway we see for ten minutes, a tough (sort of) nun who helps those on the streets (our first since Mary Tyler Moore!), a…

You will never go wrong with me having a rubber bat on a string in a movie, but a rubber bat on a string with a badly superimposed 'vampire' face? Mexico, you magnificent bastard.
