My latest, greatest Kickstarter bundle arrived!

Posted on January 30, 2024 by Steve

The core rulebook came out last year but it was worth the wait. I thought I chipped in for the Pacific Rim part too yet I don’t care. It’s great to have what I need to run a campaign or whatever. … Continue reading →

John Dies at the End

Posted on December 8, 2023 by Steve

Hulu thankfully gave me a second chance to watch this incredibly well-done Horror movie written by a former Cracked writer. I knew it was going to be good because Paul Giamatti was an executive producer and probably through him the director … Continue reading →

Rent A Pal

Posted on November 12, 2023 by Steve

This was a really enjoyable Indie from the IFC Horror people since it paints Wil Wheaton as the villain but if you watch it all the way through, you’ll see it’s debatable. The plot involves David, a 40-year-old man who … Continue reading →

I keel you whut!

Posted on November 3, 2023 by Steve

Halloween may be over for 2023 but it’s now Altercationfest in Austin, our little, semi-private comedy festival run by local fave JT Habersaat! One of the baristas at Kick Butt Coffee Cafe had this gem of a shirt. A good … Continue reading →

Day of the Dead

Posted on October 27, 2023 by Steve

This was George Romero’s lesser known third installment of his Dead movies in which the social commentary isn’t as obvious; Night was racism, Dawn was consumerism and Day I think it’s how much we shouldn’t trust the military? You can tell it was an indie … Continue reading →

The Blackening: Must See

Posted on July 12, 2023 by Steve

A new addition to my newfound enjoyment of Horror but it follows in the same foot steps as Scream and Cabin in the Woods but unlike the former, it’s good. Obviously by the cast and title, it’s turning traditional Slasher movies 90° … Continue reading →

RIP Treat Williams

Posted on June 20, 2023 by Steve

I know he passed away in a motorcycle accident last week but given what a heavy week was last week, I put him off with some others out of respect for our four-legged fuzzballs, still missing them. Treat was a … Continue reading →

Intersect

Posted on June 18, 2023 by Steve

Inter-suck is what this huge disappointment should be called. Here I was thinking, this should be decent because HP Lovecraft’s infamous Miskatonic University is the nexus for the story. Nope. From the stiff acting the two leads provided I was … Continue reading →

One of my favorite Horror shirts

Posted on May 31, 2023 by Steve

This is taken from a commercial you see on a TV during the movie Mandy. Just way too funny! All these kids are excited to have the Cheddar Goblin puke Mac n’ Cheese on them. Even if you can’t handle the … Continue reading →

Renfield: Must See but not for weak stomachs

Posted on April 24, 2023 by Steve

Another, way much better movie Universal made after their Horror Universe to compete with MCU, collapsed spectacularly under Tom Cruise’s mummy flick. Their first was that scary invisible man thriller with Elizabeth Moss. Now they go for comedy with Dracula … Continue reading →

Infinity Pool: Recommended only for strong stomachs

Posted on February 25, 2023 by Steve

Before I got COVID-19, I did squeeze in a movie with my brain doctor’s OK. Cronenberg has a son and when it comes to this movie, the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree! But put the Horror aside for … Continue reading →

RIP David Warner

Posted on July 25, 2022 by Steve

Such a shame to see David go! Another great Shakespeare-trained actor who went on to have an incredible Sci-Fi resume: two Star Trek movies (V and VI – Klingon Chancellor Gorkon is the most memorable), Star Trek: the Next Generation (Gul Madrid), Babylon … Continue reading →

I chipped in my part for Kickstarter on the new d20/5E Modern

Posted on May 18, 2022 by Steve

A favorite element of D&D’s Third Edition (3E) debut in 2000 was how the designers made the revised core rules truly adaptable to other genres (just not superheroes as Champions proves it still CANNOT do well). They immediately proved my point with their … Continue reading →

RIP Anne Rice

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Steve

I’m confident all the Hot Topics and indie Goth Stores will have their flags at half mast for a while. I also wonder if Anne ever got a settlement for all the money White Wolf games owed her for ripping … Continue reading →

1981: Call of Cthulhu debuts on book/game shelves!

Posted on November 13, 2021 by Steve

Chaosium with Sandy Petersen (yes, the same guy behind Doom) published what I would call the consummate Horror Roleplaying Game. What D&D is to Fantasy, CoC is to Horror. Sadly, there will never be one for my beloved Science Fiction … Continue reading →
