Today we’re in for a real feast for the eyes, by way of sharing a first look at some gorgeous new art from power team Legendary Comics and Karloff Enterprises – a new Frankenstein graphic novel titled Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Starring Boris Karloff, to be exact.
Steampunk Frankenstein monster cake
Impressive cakes are one of the standout memories of 2014 for me. This particular cake, safely in the wow-impressive scale, is by Crazy-Sweet.de and shows a Frankenstein’s Monster with a strong steampunk vibe to it. As you can just see in Tobias Wilhelm’ photograph the cake took home gold. Now wonder stores like Lakeland and […]
First I, Frankenstein TV ad
Bashing I, Frankenstein seems to be the order of the day – and folks I’ve talked to who are not rubbishing the movie are very sceptical about it. I feel differently. I feel hope. Just as I enjoyed Underworld (which reminded me of White Wolf’s World of Darkness for some reason) I suspect I may […]

R’lyeh removed from Google Maps; some geek alternatives
It was once possible to find R’lyth, the home and resting place of Cthulhu, on Google Maps and on Google Earth. The video at the end of this post acts as evidence. Today it’s not possible to find R’lyeh on either of those two properties. Aww, shucks, Google. I hope you had good reason for […]
