There’s A New Comic Coming And It May Be The Most Twisted Book You’ve Ever Seen

There’s a new five-part comic series on its way for horror fans who love the sick and twisted. Titled ‘Tales From The Whorehouse of Horror!’, this comic offers “up a selection of crazed and perverted stories, some of the sickest on the entire internet (and that’s saying something)”. According to the Kickstarter campaign: A labor of love, Whorehouse of Horror covers the entire anals, er, annals (no poon, er, pun, intended) of modern horror, from the classic “TALES FROM THE CRYPT” comics of the 1950s to the current “AMERICAN HORROR STORY” series of today. Add to that the best elements of Porn History, from your Dad’s vintage (and sticky) “PENTHOUSE” collection to your well-worn blu-ray of “TWO GIRLS, ONE CUP”, and you’ve got quite the package. “Tales From The Whorehouse of Horror” is the first in a new genre of entertainment; WHORROR (Whore+Horror=Whorror). Written by Yakov Levi and Jeff Scott with art by Dio Lee (Horror Highway), Joe Colewood (Things

‘Sherlock’ Brain-trust To Create A New ‘Dracula’ Series

Hello again my Little Monsters, as you may have read in the title, it appears that a new Dracula series is in the works from the folks at the BBC (that’s The British Broadcasting Corporation to you and me, Rusty). After their monumentally successful modernization of the tales of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary sleuth in the television series Sherlock, the writers and producers of the popular series are focusing their gaze on a new incarnation of Bram Stoker’s equally legendary “Prince of Darkness”. Sherlock series writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat will be on board again to handle writing duties, while Sue Vertue’s company Hartswood Films will handle all producorial aspects. This will be a reunion of sorts for Gattis and Moffat, who haven’t collaborated on a project since Series 4 of Sherlock. Despite their present work on solo projects, Gatiss and Moffat have begun talks with the BBC on this new series. Granted, there will likely be no
