Comic Book Review for Dark Horse Comics’ Midnight Society: The Black Lake #1

I just picked up Dark Horse Comics’ Midnight Society: The Black Lake #1 and after reading this review it should be evident that you should too. This book is the brainchild of Drew Edward Johnson who serves as the creator, writer, and artist. It also features Lizzy John as the colorist and the lettering of Steve Dutro. It is the first part of a four part miniseries and debuted on June 10th 2015. Johnson has skillfully combined the elements of steampunk, action-adventure, horror, and mystery into a tale that is hard to put down. The mixture is a wonderful concoction with flavors reminiscent of The Rocketeer, Indiana Jones, Hellboy, B.P.R.D. and the like. It pays homage to a lot of different genres and does it well. That and the name alone reminds me of my favorite Nickelodeon show, Are You Afraid of the Dark?. The masterful storytelling is complemented and furthered along with out of this world artwork, pun intended.

Kevin Smith Pays Homage To ‘Jaws’ In His New Horror Movie ‘Moose Jaws’

Kevin Smith, known for his films such as ‘Mallrats’ and ‘Clerks’and of course for his role as “Silent Bob”, one half of the awesome duo of “Jay and Silent Bob”, set out a few years ago to make “True North Trilogy”, which included ‘Tusk’ (2014) and ‘Yoga Hosers’ (2015). Smith has now announced his plan for the final film in the series, titled ‘Moose Jaws’. Smith made the announcement on the 40th anniversary of ‘Jaws’ by posting a picture of himself standing next the mechanical shark (nicknamed “Bruce”) used in ‘Jaws’. “Jaws, the movie that made me fall in love with movies, turns 40 today,” He continued “Next year, I make my homage entitled #MooseJaws. It’s Jaws, but with a moose.” Very little is known about ‘Moose Jaws’ at this point, except that it is said that in one scene, the Moose eats a child. We can expect ‘Moose Jaws’ some time next year.

Michael Bay Remaking Hitchcock’s Classic ‘The Birds’

‘Transformers’ director Michael Bay has announced his role as co-producer on a new upcoming remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 classic, ‘The Birds’. That’s right, even Hitchcock is not safe from Hollywood’s latest obsession, remakes. Dutch film-maker Diederik Van Rooijen will be directing the new version for Mandalay Pictures, who is sharing co-producer status with Universal and Michael Bay’s company Platinum Dunes Production. In the original film a seaside town is swarmed by huge flocks of seagulls and crows, who reek havoc on the town and it’s residents. ‘The Birds’ starred Tippi Hedren as Melanie Daniels, a San Francisco socialite. The rumor is, Naomi Watts is in negotiations to play the role of Melanie in the new version. When Hedren heard that a remake was in the works, her comment pretty much summed up exactly what we are thinking, “Why would you do that? Why?”.

Paranormal Investigators Find More Than They Bargained For, A Dead Body

Paranormal investigators, exploring the old Kuhn Memorial State Hospital in Vicksburg, found more than they were bargaining for when they discovered a dead body on the grounds of the hospital late last night. Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong stated that the body was that of a woman in her 60’s. The death is being ruled a homicide by the Warren County Coroner, who suspects the cause of death is blunt force trauma. The body does match the description of a 69 year old woman who has gone missing, but due to the state of the remains, further testing is required. Two men have been taken into custody who confessed that they did abduct the missing woman Saturday night, but claim they did drop her off at a location alive. The hospital, where the Paranormal investigators found the body, has been vacant since 1989. The grounds are rumored to be haunted by many. The hospital was also used as a filming
