Well… sort of. Here’s a YouTube vid of The Creepshow on Breakfast Television in Edmonton, and as you can see, after playing a gig in Calgary and not sleeping, the band, particularly Sickboy (wearing a Ghoulish Gary T-shirt!), look a bit like the undead. Ginty, as always, is all smiles, but, man, they must’ve been [...]

Fido director Andrew Currie sent me this link to the Japanese website for his film, which has been renamed “Zombino” over there. I love the site; it’s a great mix of horror, Fido’s 1950s Americana and cartoony Japanese pop-culture. If you click around, you’ll find a weird animation of Fido with a bunch of random [...]

1. This has been up for a little while but I hadn’t noticed it until now. Louis over at Damaged 2.0 posted this review of what may be my all time favourite so-bad-it’s-good movie: Hard Rock Zombies! (Sorry Rock ‘n’ Roll Nightmare.) Way to spread the love, man! Baby Jesus weeps a tear of blood [...]

Thanks to the wonders of that series of tubes we call the “Internets,” I finally watched the pilot for the almost-ran zombie-themed TV series Babylon Fields. Written by Michael Atkinson and Gerald Cuesta, and directed by Michael Cuesta – whose impressive resume includes helming a bunch of episodes for both Six Feet Under and Dexter [...]

Yep, it’s getting close to that time of year. No, not Thanksgiving. Not Xmas. Yep, that’s right — holiday time!
This year for the holidays instead of heading south or even staying home in front of the fire (you know, the one you buy on DVD ….) we have decided to trek into [...]

When my friend Paul Booth invited me to spend Halloween with him in New York, I honestly couldn’t think of anything more befitting. He and I spent October 31st in his amazing devil’s den of a tattoo shop, Last Rites, with the door locked and the curtains drawn. The day and evening passed while we [...]

Much on Demand just aired this little spot about Horror Metal (made by my sexy pal Barbara Milner) featuring METALlic wisdom from RM contributor and metal junkie Keith Carman. And if you keep your eyes peeled, you’ll catch a glimpse of The Vook, as well.

*For some reason the title keys dropped off on this YouTube [...]

I picked up a copy of Geoff Isaac and Gordon Reid’s It Came from the Kitchen: Monstrously Delicious Celebrity Recipes from Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, Assorted Aliens and Beyond! at this year’s Festival of Fear for my very kitchen-capable girlfriend, who tried out a recipe in it courtesy Paul Naschy. Called Paul Naschy’s Shrimp [...]

Can’t wait for the sequel: The Henson’s Rejects.

I watched Silent Hill again recently, for the fourth time, and, for me, it’s one of those rare films that gets better with each viewing. It’s rated a lousy 28 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes but I think time will vindicate it as a genre classic.
