“Nature has a way sometimes of reminding Man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up terrible offspring’s of our pride and carelessness to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla. The reckless ambitions of Man are often dwarfed by their dangerous consequences. For now, Godzilla – that strangely innocent and tragic monster – has gone to earth.

As we learned earlier in Jeb’s article, Hollywood is making some very outrageous choices concerning the genre. It didn’t stop here either. There were two other tid-bits this week that made me think, “What the fuck are they thinking?!?!”. So with a heavy heart here we go… It was announced that The Monster Squad remake [...]

American Vampire is a DC/Vertigo release with a lofty goal: to reinvent Vampire mythology for America. Any fan of classic horror literature can picture the original vampire: well [...]
We all share one of the truest, most passionate loves there is in this world. A love that runs so deep that we will defend its merit and credibility until the day we die. Of course I speak of horror love. And each and every one of us has two hearts…it’s true. The one we [...]
