Gyo Gets Animated
Junji Ito’s wild horror manga Gyo is getting the anime treatment and I’m squirming with excitement! Up until fairly recent I was only vaguely familiar with Ito’s work, mostly from the live action adaptation of Uzumaki and seeing his name on various books in the store. That is until I picked up Gyo. Immediately blown [...]

This past Sunday I had the pleasure of being a guest on my favorite cult movie podcast, Junk Food Dinner! I know I’ve been talking about them a lot lately, but they’re great guys and I really support their cause. I brought Psychos In Love (which I also recently talked about, get used to it) [...]

Complete History Of The Return Of The Living Dead
Been waiting for The Complete History Of Return Of The Living Dead to hit shelves since I heard about it at the last Monster Mania Convention I attended, which featured a pretty hefty amount of Return Of The Living Dead stars. I made sure to attend the ROTLD Q&A panel and boy, was I glad [...]
Destroy All Movies!!! Back in stock, but not for long.
When I first heard about Fantagraphics’ Destroy All Movies The Complete Guide To Punks On Film I immediately knew this book was for me. Being a “punk” myself and a huge cult film nerd how could I not be excited. Destroy All Movies is an informative, hilarious and impossibly complete guide to every appearance of [...]

Walking Dead DVD/Blu-ray Pre-order
Last night I finally finished watching AMC’s The Walking Dead television show. I know I’m way behind, but I don’t have cable and was having a hard time getting to someone’s house, with cable, who also wanted to watch this. After the first two episodes it just didn’t seem worth the effort to be at [...]
