Monster of the Day #709

The Sci Fi Channel (as it was known at the time) also took a whack at the Shark Man idea. No Stan Winston creation, it was a CGI creation, at about the level you'd expect from the SFC. It was surprisingly difficult to find a decent still from the movie; hence the better but…

The Kickstarter that Saved T-Fest…

Some may remember that Sandy Petersen, gentleman, scholar, big time game creator and T-Fest host, had earlier this year launched a sadly failed Kickstarter for a proposed electronic Cthulhu game.

Monster of the Day #703

Ah, that's the stuff. This is the preferred format for the covers, as far as I can tell; modern folks huddling in the background whilst the neanderthal Kona deals with things.
