I wasn't even trying to link back to last year's pick, IT! The Terror From Beyond Space, but I realize this year is simply... The Terror. When Jack Nicholson meets Boris Karloff, who wins? YOU DO. (And so does Roger Corman.) Direct link for the feedreaders. Buy Stuff - It Supports the Site! Click here to buy [...]

Yes, it's Cary Grant in a Halloween treat: Arsenic and Old Lace. Never before has poisoning been so amusing. What I would have loved to see is the person who created the role of Jonathan...Boris Karloff. He played Jonathan in the stage play. That must have been...ridiculously good. Direct link for the [...]

Dan Goodsell, creator of Mr. Toast and one of the world's only PhD holders in the field of retro goldology, has posted Monster Slurpee cups from the 70s. They are brilliant in their cheesy monsterness. Have you seen that our buddy Len at Jawbone Radio is doing a limited edition run of four laser-etched pine [...]

This is a bit of weird thing for me, because when I was a lad, sometime around the year 1621, I thought the "Monster Mash" was sung by Boris Karloff. And then I found out it was actually by Bobby Pickett. And now to learn that Boris performed it on a Halloween special? [...]

Rox sent us this: it's Forry Ackerman showing off life masks of major horror icons. Featured are John Carradine, Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, and Lon Chaney Jr. Discussed but not really seen much are Tor Johnson and Peter Lorre. What's crazy is that I own casts of the Lugosi, Price and Karloff life masks [...]

Igor is the Rodney Dangerfield of cinematic sidekicks. With rare exceptions (Marty Feldman's turn in ), the deformed lab assistant gets little horror movie respect. Even the legendary Bela Lugosi balked at the suggestion that he play one alongside a then relatively unknown Boris Karloff. It's always about the monster or the mad scientist, not the hunchbacked scrub doing all the dirty work. In the imaginative...

In the Bible Belt, our take on the banks and stockmarket collapse is that the devil did it. He was just fooling around, looking for the right bank to vex. And managed to spin the right knobs. It was the devil. He loves to turn up the heat. Economics is a sin in and of itself. Financial investment companies, stocks, the mortgage industry are examples of evil entities, dedicated to gambling, alcohol,...
