‘Wild, Dark Times’ Shows How Dark Magic Can Be: Book Review
Plot As Elizabeth gets more and more settled into her ordinary (if not boring) life, she suddenly gets thrown into a Wild and Dark world of magic, sex, drugs, and horrors beyond her imagination. Austin Case presents Wild, Dark Times and it absolutely lives up to its name. This plot is very well crafted and it is powerfully obvious that Case has done heaps of research for his novel. The plot winds through so many different things that it is an adventure that will keep you guessing and intrigued from start to finish. The “ordinary” person getting tossed into extraordinary situations is a plot we all know and love and will be used an infinite number of more times in stories, but it is there because it works and makes the plot seem more tangible and realistic. Case uses this setup to perfection and takes us out of our “ordinary” lives and into whatever twisted adventure he chooses. Characters All

Kicking off the collection is 1965’s cobbled together mess-terpiece, Monster a Go-Go: A space capsule (pronounced here as cap-soool, which was too much for me) tumbles back to Earth and the astronaut inside goes missing. Coincidentally, a ten foot tall, radiation scarred mutant begins wandering about, just waiting to put the gruesome murder biz upon anyone that stands in his way of… well, wandering around killing people mostly… In a flash of cinematic Frankenstein frenzy, the Godfather of Gore himself; Herschell Gordon Lewis acquired the footage to an unfinished Rebane picture from 1961, added some new footage and narration (provided by H.G. Lewis himself), and released the jarring results to horror hounds everywhere back in ’65!

Tensions Run High In The Two New Clips From Shudder’s ‘Mosquito State’
To celebrate the release of Filip Jan Rymsza‘s entomophobia-inducing Shudder Original Mosquito State we’ve got two clips to share with you. Set in August 2007, we see “a man isolated in his austere penthouse overlooking Central Park, obsessive Wall Street data analyst Richard Boca (Beau Knapp) sees ominous patterns: His computer models are behaving erratically, as are the swarms of mosquitos breeding in his apartment, an infestation that attends his psychological meltdown. On Wall Street, they’re called “quants”—the intense data analysts whose mathematical prowess can make the difference between a fortune and a flop. Consumed with his work, Richard doesn’t often stray from his office or apartment. But when Richard decides to go to a company party, he makes two acquaintances: the mysterious, sylphlike Lena (Charlotte Vega) and one pesky mosquito, both of which take root in his mind, altering his existence in profound ways.” “Finding common ground between Franz Kafka, David Cronenberg, and Mary Harron’s American Psycho, director-screenwriter Filip
