I love the smell of glavin in the morning, so there’s no better place to be than the 40th annual San Diego Comic Con. Like every year, this year’s nerdsplosion of geekiness was hectic, exhausting, informative and ridiculously fun. Here’s a peek at this year’s pop culture sensory overload.

 After scarfing down some hot dogs, a few cobs of corn, a baker’s dozen of beers and some waters to keep things civil, the trio of myself, Ghoulish Gary and your host of The Blood Spattered Guide, Liisa Ladouceur, readied ourselves for a blue plate special of bombastic metal.

 This past Saturday, I took in the Heavy MTL festival with RM cohorts Ghoulish Gary Pullin and Liisa Ladouceur in what would prove to be one illustrious day of metal and a festival that should serve as the model for music festivals everywhere. A reported 20,000 people gathered on Saturday to have their eardrums assaulted by such genre luminaries as Mastodon, Testament, Fear Factory, Slayer, Alice Cooper and Megadeth in Parc Jean Drapeau, just east of downtown Montreal and right on the subway line (so close to the festival entrance that there were merch vendors right in the metro station for heavy metal heaven’s sake).

 The Congo basin, made up of several countries in western Africa, is one of the most dangerous and inhospitable places in the world. Also referred to as the “Heart of Darkness”, the region has a long history of horrors linked to violent tribal warfare, the ivory trade, and a host of beasties that slither, claw and bite. Not surprising, the Congo oozes with legends of human-hunting cannibals and mysterious creatures, some of which have been hard to disprove due to the near-impenetrable jungles that seem unwilling to give up their secrets. One such legendary monster is the KONGAMATO.

 Hello, boys and ghouls and welcome to the very first installment of Cryptic Collectibles! In this space, I hope to make you shudder with delight as I showcase examples of cool horror and monster collectibles – both vintage and recent releases. There’s certainly been no shortage of terrifically terrifying toys and creeptastic cinematic memorabilia produced throughout the years and it’s my wish to provide a platform – a virtual display case, if you will – to show off some fiendishly frightful figures, malevolent model kits, bloodcurdling books, petrifying poster art, chilling comics and more.

 Danish horrorcore rapper CrackmordaZ has released a nasty little horror music video for the track “I Shall Return,” from their forthcoming, as-yet-untitled EP. According to director Casper Haugegaard, who lensed the clip in pseudo tribute to Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator, “It ain’t proper nasty without the element of scheisse!” So be aware, the final act does indeed get a little messy.

The Abattoir presents a web exclusive interview by Peter Gutiérrez. Read on, zombie lovers…
It’s one of the many memorable images from Lucio Fulci’s Zombie (aka Zombi 2): hordes of the undead shambling across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge on their way to invade Manhattan. Now fans of Fulci’s baroquely gory and often delirious brand of zombie fare have themselves been invading midtown as “Zombo Italiano,” a three-week summer film series, has taken over a cultural institution in the heart of New York.

EARLY MAN
Death Potion
The End Records
Originally a duo from Colombus, Ohio, Early Man – who’ve now grown into a quartet that splits time between Brooklyn and LA – are the latest vintage metal revivalists to musically tear the calendar back to 1983 by shredding out old school thrash akin to the San Francisco Bay Area movement that spawned Exodus, Slayer and Metallica among others. Founding members Mike Conte (vocals, guitar) and Adam Bennati (drums) were reportedly sheltered from the dangerous world of heavy music by devout Pentecostal parents until the tender age of nineteen (likely inspiration for “Brainwashed at Birth” and “I Am the Child of Evil”), at which time they nursed themselves back to metal health on a steady diet of Black Sabbath and Judas Priest.
