Horror icons and comic books, it’s been a tricky combination to make work over the years. In my younger days I was heavily involved in the world of comics, and as a lifelong horror fan it was always exciting when a publisher won the rights to produce a book based on one of the major …
I like to think I’m a pretty strong guy when it comes to temptation. I know my limits with food and drink, I generally never spend more than I can afford, and having two children means I’m always trying my best to think clearly, rationally and maturely. But DAMN IT, being a horror fan can …
It was during one of my regular ‘rummages’ through my old childhood belongings – which still take up FAR too much space at my parents house – that I recently discovered a copy of the very first issue of Empire movie magazine, published in June 1989. As many of you will probably be aware, Empire …
Something very unusual happened to me about 2 weeks ago. I paid the bills, made sure the kids had everything they needed, did the grocery shopping, and when I finished for the day and looked in my wallet there was a little bit of money left over! After regaining consciousness and picking myself up off …
Welcome back fiends, I hope you all had a happy horror-filled weekend and feel refreshed and prepared for the week ahead.

It’s a small world, as that painfully irritating jingle at Disney hammered into my head at a young age. And it has never felt smaller to me than it did this past weekend. Back in 2012, when I was still running my own blog Freddy In Space, I wrote up a post about a handful …
Today I’m going to mosey back down memory lane and share some images from my old Ghostbusters UK comic collection, specifically focussing on the VERY rare examples that still feature their original cover mounted free gifts. To understand just why it’s so difficult and unusual to find issues like these you have to consider several …
We’ve reached the end of another week – thank god! – which means it’s time to once again take a look at the coolest, weirdest and/or most awesome images I’ve stumbled across on the internet this week. So let’s get right to it, shall we?! After many months of silence, we finally started to see …
This week my artistic interview is with an individual who isn’t afraid to embrace the darkness! Shadows, intricate silhouettes and fine detail is found in abundance, resulting in some truly stunning work. Matt Ryan Tobin creates poster art featuring movies and characters from many genres, and as is often the case when I approach an …
