A lot’s been going on, so I figured I should pop in here and mention at least some of it. For starters, I’ll be attending my first H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival this May in Portland. It’ll also be my first convention as a guest, which is pretty exciting, especially since…

Hey guys, remember the crushing disappointment that was Van Helsing? Tommy Wirkola sure does, and he’s managed to find the exact combination of gore, practical effects, asskicking, and harsh language to actually make that formula work. The result is the ridiculous-sounding (and genuinely ridiculous) Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, which seems to…

Continue reading →: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Undead (2009)
I’ve been waiting to see this one for years now, because Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is one of my favorite things that has ever been written down, and adding vampires to it is kind of guaranteed to ruin it completely, but whatever, I was excited, because I am just exactly…

Continue reading →: The Boring Stuff
This isn’t really the sort of thing I like to post about. I normally try to keep this ‘blog for talking about writing and movies and monsters, but every now and then something like this creeps in, so I’ll try to keep it brief: My dad is sick. He has…

Continue reading →: 2012: The Year in Creatures
[Spoilers here, for Cabin in the Woods, mostly, so heads up.] If I live to be a hundred, publish ten-thousand bestsellers, and cure cancer, one of my proudest achievements will still and always be that John Langan once referred to me as “the monster guy.” I love monsters (it’s right…

Continue reading →: Ghosts of Mars (2001)
Beginning as I mean to go on… It is de rigueur to call Ghosts of Mars John Carpenter’s worst movie. But I’m here to tell you that it’s just not so. Ghosts of Mars isn’t his best movie, by any means. Nor in the top five. In fact, it’s probably in the bottom five.…

Continue reading →: We’ll Send Him Cheesy Movies
I really enjoy talking about movies. (I know, right? Stop the presses!) Not writing reviews of them, per se, though I’ve done my share of that over the years too. Just sort of reacting to them, talking them over afterward, telling people who haven’t seen them about how awesome or…

Continue reading →: This Was 2012
So, it’s now been 2013 for a little over twelve hours here. I slept most of those, and spent the others watching Castle, though we did ring in the new year last night with a handful of friends from college, all of whom are now paired up, even though at least…

Continue reading →: ‘Tis the Season
Since it’s become a cliche by now, I’ll try to refrain from opening this post with an apology directed at the Internet in general for my long absences of late. Suffice to say that I’ve been incredibly busy of late, and that sadly shows no signs of abating, at least…

Continue reading →: Hellboy in Hell #1
You know I’ve been busy when it takes me over a week to post about this: Hellboy in Hell, as anyone reading this probably already knows, marks Mike Mignola’s first time drawing Hellboy in way too long. It also marks an entirely new chapter in Hellboy’s existence as a character,…
