Continue reading →: “Was it the boogeyman?”
Recently I’ve become sort of addicted to these Funko blind box Horror Classics figures. The first one I got was Sam from Trick ‘r Treat, who I ordered from eBay because I absolutely had to have him, and I wasn’t willing to keep trying blind boxes until I got one. After…

So here’s my last year-in-review-type-post for 2013, and my attempt at a second annual unofficial Best Movie Monster of the Year post (here’s last year’s). It’ll also be the second year in a row (out of two!) that I gave the award to a whole movie, rather than any one…

Continue reading →: 2013 Movies Year in Review
I only saw around 23 movies that came out in 2013. From those, I was asked to compile a top ten list for Downright Creepy, where I occasionally pen reviews. I managed to put one together, along with a pick for worst movie I saw this year, and a list…

Continue reading →: 2013 Reading Year in Review
I read around 40 books all the way through in 2013, not counting skimming individual short stories out of collections and anthologies, or re-reading graphic novels that I had just read (I tend to read any Mike Mignola stuff through two or three times in rapid succession shortly after getting…

Continue reading →: 2013 Writing Year in Review
2012 was an extremely busy publishing year for me. My first collection came out, along with my first book as editor. By comparison, I didn’t do much publishing in 2013, but I certainly kept busy. I only published two short stories in 2013: “Ripperology” in Ross Lockhart’s Tales of Jack the…

What to say about The Lair of the White Worm? It’s wonderful, for starters. On the one hand, I wish that I had seen it years ago, and on the other hand, I’m glad that I managed to miss it for all this time, so I could have the joy of…

Once again, Halloween has come and gone, and we’ve got a whole year to wait until it comes around again. Normally, this time of year leaves me feeling melancholy, but this year has been remarkably good. We’ve had an open house over the weekend, which has kept me busy and…

Continue reading →: 13 of my Favorite Horror Movies (That Never Make These Lists)
It’s the time of the season when everybody starts trotting out their lists of favorite horror movies. I’ve tried doing those in the past, and maybe one day I’ll try an exhaustive one again, but this year I was just thinking about the problem with those lists, which is that…

Continue reading →: “The air itself is filled with monsters.”
Last night, I sat in a full theatre and watched Bride of Frankenstein on the big screen. This morning, I woke up to gray, rainy weather. The day before my birthday, and two days before Halloween, and it finally really feels like October. There’s nothing left to be said about Bride of…

Continue reading →: The Witch’s Mirror (1962)
As promised, The Witch’s Mirror kind of has everything. Starting off with an opening narration over Goya paintings, it wastes absolutely no time getting into weird supernatural happenings, and the first scene introduces the titular mirror and also showcases the film’s predilection for low-rent in-camera effects, as the witch and her…
