Simple enough, I’ve transferred my flag to Arkhaven’s blog. The reason for this is that my readership here plateaued about six months ago. There has been the occasional spike in daily numbers but it was clear there was no growth. I’ll be leaving this blog up for a while but if you want anything transferred […]
Read More So Where Has the Dark Herald Been?REPOST: In the meantime. More Classic Cataline. Ah, Horror. The “lesser genre”. Eternally demeaned, abused and snubbed by the elders of the film industry.

Read More It Came From the Eighties: A Random Horror Listicle“Didactylos shrugged. “The Turtle exists. The world is a flat disc. The sun turns round it once every day, dragging its light behind it. And this will go on happening, whether you believe it is true or not. It is real. I don’t know about truth. Truth is a lot more complicated than that. I […]

Read More What Trump’s Recovery Really MeansREPOST: 10/092020 Okay, I needed to get Atheist Christmas Carol and the last movie of a certain trilogy out my head. So much waste of potential. So much money spent keeping dumpsters on fire. Anyway, I found my mind fading back to the simpler times of my youth. When my “life-crushing” responsibilities were laughable compared […]

Read More Battleground: First ImpressionsNot today. Not Tomorrow. Not next year. But COVID is a wound from which Disney will never recover. Disney is simply too big to recover. Before the Fox purchase, they MIGHT have had enough liquidity to ride it out in the short term without taking on debt but regardless, that wasn’t the case after Iger’s […]
Read More The End of Disney?This is a bit of an l’esprit de l’escalier post. From my piece on Kolchak the Night Stalker. “Horror, began appropriately enough during the Reign of Terror.
