I just want to take a quick moment to note that there won’t be a Top 250 Tuesday post tomorrow due to the fact that I’ll be spending the day working at the local poll for election day. And while I’m at it, I’ll just say please, wherever you are and whichever side you’re read more

Welcome back! Yep, it’s Saturday morning, which means it’s time for the next chapter of The Crimson Ghost. (You can find Chapter One here.) But before we get to that, let’s talk about movie serials in general. For most people, the term “movie serial”, if they have even read more

Edgar Allen Poe’s The Fall of The House of Usher has been the subject of a number of filmic adaptations over the years, and while most fans of horror films consider Roger Corman‘s 1960 take to be the go-to version, I’d like to submit a couple of other, much earlier versions for you read more

Predating Universal’s The Wolf Man by sixteen years, George Cheesebro and Bruce Mitchell directed Wolf Blood in 1925. While it’s not actually the first werewolf movie – that distinction supposedly goes to 1913’s The Werewolf, but since that film is considered lost, this is th read more

Tomorrow is Halloween, and, like many holidays, Halloween means Halloween specials on television. Whether it’s an actual special such as 1966’s It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown or just a Halloween-themed episode of an ongoing series, the celebration of all things spooky has pr read more

First off, an apology for those who might have come here this morning looking for another Saturday Morning Cartoon installment, but the truth is, while I would have loved to continue the feature, it was simply too hard, due to copyright concerns, to find really good examples of a lot of the shows th read more

Yesterday I posted a bit of a rant about Batman and heroism today. (Trust me when i say it was only “a bit of a rant” I easily could have gone on on the topic much longer.)   Now, I’m not necessarily suggesting that we need the pendulum to swing back the other way as far as what we read more

If you’re one of my friends on my personal Facebook page, then this little rant may seem familiar, since I first posted it there yesterday. After a bit I decided I’d also edit it just slightly and share it here, in order to reach a bit of a different audience. So yeah, there’s this read more

You Asked For It was an odd little show which aired from 1920 to 1959. Originally titled The Art Barker Show, the title was changed to You Asked For It in 1952. Each week, host Barker (who left the show in 1958 to be replaced by Jack Smith) would introduce and host segments responding to requests se read more

Supposedly this trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron wasn’t going to premiere until next week’s Agents of Shield, but here it is, and yep, it’s official. Marvel says to blame Hydra, but personally from the looks of things, I’d say blame Tony. Whatever the reason, I’d go read more
