Movie Review: Ghoul School is a Gloriously Absurd Fright Flick Experience!

Steve and Jeff, a couple of hard-luck horror hound losers that attend a high school that has to be down the street from Nuke ‘Em High, find their very existence turned upside down when some thugs accost the school’s janitor looking for some…some…I’m not sure they say exactly…and push a mysterious button that releases deadly toxins into the school’s water supply that turns the student body (more specifically the swim team) into flesh-eating, blue skinned, razor toothed monsters! Along the way, Joe Franklin (ask your grandparents kids) and Jackie “The Jokeman” Martling (ask your parents kids) show up for no reason (well Jackie showed up to throw his merch all over every nook and cranny of the scenery), extreme gore splashes across the screen, hard rockin’ ensues, lines are flubbed, and our “heroes” attempt to save the day! Low budget, low brow, and gloriously absurd, Ghoul School is a whole heap of fright flick fun! There are plenty of ridiculous

Hellboy Is Getting A Reboot !

After years of hoping and dreaming fans had their hearts broken when Guillermo del Toro broke the news that there is zero chances of a third Hellboy film. While we know that we will never see Hellboy in a new story-line from del Toro, we haven’t seen the last of the big red guy. Mike Mignola, the creator of the Hellboy comic, took to social media to announce that Neil Marshall will be directing a reboot of Hellboy. He went on to reveal the Stranger Things actor David Harbour will be playing the lead character. Marshall has a great reputation in horror already. He’s behind Dog Soldiers and The Descent. He has also directed episodes of stellar series like Game of Thrones, Hannibal, and Westworld. I have to admit, I’m a little excited, but apprehensive at the same time. I don’t know how anyone could fill Ron Perlman’s shoes. I will always see him as Hellboy.

Review: SpellBound Comics’ “Year of the Goat #1”

Question: What is black and white and red all over? Answer: A kick-ass comic about the goatpocalypse! 2015 is the Year of the Goat according to the Chinese Zodiac and it may just be right. The night that I recieved a copy of this book to review, a trending hashtag on Twitter was #AddGoatRuinAQuote. You may be able to ruin a quote by adding a goat, but if you add a whole bunch of goats to a horror/slasher comic about demonic possession, then you can’t go wrong. This book is proof of that. Now, I must admit that this book isn’t for everyone. Of course, I only say that because it is intended for mature audiences only. The story starts off on a farm in the southern United States, when a black bird lands and seems to whisper into the ear of a goat. The goat then becomes possessed and is suddenly endowed with the ability to walk and even

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.
