I was very happy when Tokyo Ghoul came to Netflix, I’d heard a lot about it but it had been proving to be challenging to stream legally in the UK. A geeky guy thinks he’s lucked out when a gorgeous and book loving girl takes a fancy to him. The twist? She’s a flesh hungry […]
Graham Humphreys’ “What We Do in Shadows”
This print is by UK horror legend Graham Humphreys. Humphreys is known for his film posters for the likes of The Evil Dead, Phenomena and Nightmare on Elm Street. This project takes the work of a painter to produce a screen print. There are only 300 in this 7-colour and 36 x 24 inch run. […]
Short film: Strange Thing
There’s always someone who wants to put their head in the mystery hole. I love that this couple are trekkies (with a Star Wars mug in there for good measure). The question is what you would do if you found a strange door you had never explored before? Strange Thing has a Facebook page for […]

Elder (Good) Signs: A Double Review of the Call of Cthulhu Corebooks
Before “storygames” and “simulationist RPGs,” before “crunchy” and “fluff,” there was Call of Cthulhu and Dungeons & Dragons.

D&D had tons of rules and had roots in minature wargamming; […]

Beautifully creepy art from Sergey Kolesov
I associate Sergey Kolesov with some beautifully creepy creatures but his range is far larger than that. If you like any of the pictures in this teaser gallery I recommend popping over to InPrint to buy his prints for just a few dollars. He also runs a LiveJournal page that’s still going. More frequent updates […]
Short film: Self-Asssembly
Creepy. Weird. This short film is a creepy and weird horror. Not in the mood for weird and creepy? Don’t watch this horror. Oh, so you watched? Grieving mother succumbs to strange internet ad and gets the modern equivalent of a changeling? The short film is certainly clever. The mix of black and white filming […]
Fantastically sinister art from David Palumbo
David Palumbo is a talented freelance illustrator who has worked for Marvel, Nightshade Books, Pyr Books, Heavy Metal Magazine and Wizards of the Coast. I really like the Philadelphia-based artist’s style. Palumbo manages to blend real with the unreal in quite a sinister way. You can view more of his art on Deviant Art, his […]
