Time has a great Q&A with Stephen King. Here are three reasons to give it a read: 1) A diatribe about the sorry state of the North American news media, which includes the phrase, “Britney Spears is just trailer trash. That’s all.” 2) News of a supernatural musical he’s working on. 3) This awesome quote: [...]

I’ve been addicted to watching Funny or Die, a comedy video website created by actor/comedian Will Ferrell and writer/director Adam McKay (Talladega Nights, Anchorman). Celebrities, up-and-coming comedians, and regular users can upload original material or stuff they think is funny and the viewers can vote “Funny” or “Die” by clicking on the vote button. You [...]

I want it, you want it, but Dustin McNeill needs it. And he’s doing something about it. Naturally, I’m referring to another Phantasm sequel, something that’s been much speculated about for some time with the resurgence in popularity of the series. In order to, er, get the ball rolling, the senior at the University of [...]

Not every fish should be sushi is the lesson learned at Japan’s Meguro Parasitological Museum, as you can see if you click on the picture above, which depicts a massive, massive tapeworm, removed from a man who acquired it by eating raw trout. Our friend Leah recently went to Japan and took a tour of [...]

According to these people: http://slideshow.dallasobserver.com/index.php?gallery=22732&type=1¤t=0 Most of the bands and covers you expect to see are in there, like Cannibal Corpse, Impaled and Exhumed.

So here’s that live radio bit I mentioned earlier that I did on Halloween for Fresh FM in London, Onterrible. I should note that Gord Vickman, co-host with Big D and Mindy, is an old friend and room mate from Toronto who landed a radio gig in London a few years ago and was a [...]

Well… sort of. Here’s a YouTube vid of The Creepshow on Breakfast Television in Edmonton, and as you can see, after playing a gig in Calgary and not sleeping, the band, particularly Sickboy (wearing a Ghoulish Gary T-shirt!), look a bit like the undead.

Fido director Andrew Currie sent me this link to the Japanese website for his film, which has been renamed “Zombino” over there.

Written by Michael Atkinson and Gerald Cuesta, and directed by Michael Cuesta – whose impressive resume includes helming a bunch of episodes for both Six Feet Under and Dexter [...]
