Adult Swim’s first feature horror film made its debut earlier in the week under the guise of a Yuletide Log. Moments into the video of the crackling fireplace we begin to hear talking and soon we see a murder. Then we watch as a group of friends enters the frame only for them to quickly begin to experience both paranormal events and a deranged killer. The unexpected, entertaining movie is from Adult Swim veteran Casper Kelly, who directs after writing Adult Swim series such as “Too Many Cooks” and “Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell”, as well as the hit Nicholas Cage movie, Mandy. I spoke with Kelly about The Fire Place, the movie within the Yule Log video. That is not only available on Adult Swim, but HBOMax as well. https://soundcloud.com/kelli-r-marchman-mcneely/an-interview-with-adult-swims-casper-kelly?si=686d338ece974c858d0afd51599b7137&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Transcript: Kelli: “It’s nice to meet you too. I have to say I love your work.” Casper: “Oh, thank you.” Kelli: “Too many cooks and just, it’s

Lonny (Justin Gocke, whom you may remember as Raymond Burr’s grandson in the American inserts of Godzilla ’85) heads down New Zealand-way to visit his Aunt Leah (a delightful performance from Dame Pat Evison)… but who he is really there to visit is his Grandpa, Vernon Cooger (The Munsters‘ Al Lewis); a delightfully daffy ol’ coot whom Lonny’s monster-obsessed kiwi pal Kanziora (Milan Borich) is convinced is a vampire. Then Cooger dies, so that theory was right shit, wasn’t it? The End. Oh, except Cooger does come back to life, as he actually is a vampire… huh, there’s truth in advertising after all! Now as stated, Cooger is a vampire, but one that has chosen a (mostly) mortal life that allows him to age and eventually die, but that doesn’t stop him to getting up to a few rounds of Grade-A shenanigans once back among the living along with the help of Lonny and Kanziora… who in turn have to

Takashi Miike is known for delivering the dark and disturbing with films such as Audition and Ichi The Killer. The Japanese director is now making his move to TV with the series “Connect“, now streaming on Hulu. The series, which features English subtitles, is based on the webtoon of the same name from Shin Dae Sung. And centers on a man, Ha Dong-soo, who is kidnapped, and one of his eyes is removed by a gang of organ hunters. His eye was transplanted into the body of a serial killer. Now the unwilling donor has terrible visions as he witnesses terrifying attacks on the residents of Seoul. But the killer in the series is not just some slasher, they make their victims into sculptures and leave them in public places as pieces of art.” “Connect” quietly made its debut on Hulu earlier this month, with little to no advertising by the service. Luckily fans have taken to social media to

In deepest, darkest Transylvania; Dr. Wolfgang (Barbarian‘s Richard Brake) along with his sidekick Floop (Jorge Garcia, Lost) have created life in the Frankenstein-vein with Herman Munster (Westworld‘s Jeff Daniel Phillips); a walkin’ wonder of song, dance, and stand-up comedy! Meanwhile, ancient vampire The Count (better known as Grandpa, and played here by prominent character actor Daniel Roebuck) is trying to get his daughter Lily (Sheri Moon Zombie) hitched pronto to little success… but guess who she ends up falling head-over-heels for? What follows is a wicked whirlwind courtship, and before long Herman has inadvertently sold The Count’s ancestral home, because while he does have a brain in his head it isn’t a particularly functioning one. Will that freaky family be able to find a new dread domicile they can call home? Rob Zombie is back with his latest film, The Munsters… and while the on-line chatter was grumpy A.F. concerning this fun fright flick, fans of the popular sitcom upon

Newspaperman Paul Henson (Dino Tripodis) moves from the Windy City to the middle of nowhere (which is proven to be every bit as windy, and pretty damn rainy as well) and immediately gets up to his usual newspaper biz. As fate and the script would have it, Paul is up to his asshairs in stories to publish as the town is filled with all manner of dead bodies in various states of “completely fucked up”… and those cut-up corpses seem to be pointing to the involvement of the occult! Seeing as most of the town and people in positions of authority are under the sinister sway of Reverend Donovan (Nick Baldasare)… who looks like a man of the cloth by day and the goddamned Night Stalker once the sun has set, it comes as little surprise. Soon our hero, as well as his star journalist Shannon (Shanna Thomas) and the eccentric Reverend Kane (John Dunleavy), are at war with Satan’s
