How could DC Comics go wrong combining Batwoman with the popular gothic concept explored recently in “The Woman in Black.” Gotham’s crime fighting femme fatale received her own title after carrying Detective Comics after Bruce Wayne / Batman disappeared. “Batwoman Volume 1: Hydrology” combines issues #0 through #5 of her “New 52” series. If anyone ...
I have a theory that’s proven every week, and that’s that the best horror movies, with a few exceptions, aren’t made in America. Sure, a few scary indie films of note will seep through the cracks every decade or so (“The Blair Witch Project”, “Paranormal Activity”), but Hollywood is unfortunately content with mass-marketing the same ...
Hollywood celebrities are much like everyone else, at least in some respects. A person’s net worth isn’t exactly an easy thing to talk about in mixed company for anyone.

Everyone loves a good ghost story. That’s what makes authors like Stephen King, Bentley Little and Robert R. McCammon so popular. Haunted Colorado was made “mainstream” by Stephen King’s The Shining, but you won’t find The Overlook Hotel here, though there is The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park where Stephen King received the inspiration for ...
An early twentieth century setting. English marshland shrouded in fog. Rain, thunder, and lightning. A graveyard shrouded in ivy and dead twigs. A decaying mansion high atop a hill. Rooms blanketed in dust and cobwebs. Dark hallways faintly lit by candlelight. The sounds of whispers and crying bouncing off the walls. A shadowy figure stalking ...
