Alien 3 is a divisive movie, I’ve witnessed some seriously heated online debates over the years about certain Horror and Sci-Fi films but nothing comes close to the perfect storm of emotions that Alien 3 discussions tend to unleash. The first time I watched it was mid 1993 on a fuzzy, low quality VHS tape …
I’ve never been what you would call a dedicated video game player, but I have ‘phases’ in my life during which I will smash my way through 6-7 games I’ve been wanting to play one after the other. These phases normally last two, maybe three months then life will become busy again and I’ll forget …
As I get older I find myself looking back to my childhood more and more … Occasionally I’ll suddenly remember something that my brain has stored away and a flood of memories will spill out, this piece is based on such a moment that happened just a few days ago. I was scribbling down ideas …

Freddy, Jason, Ash, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Pinhead, all have seen print with varying degrees of success. Chaos comics released a handful of Halloween books that connected to the universe created in the movies and were actually pretty damn good. …

The general consensus seems to be that it’s high quality but the sudden swerve the entire movie takes half way through has generated huge debate and that is what I am keen to ultimately give my opinion on here. When you strip away …
The first time I watched Zoltan, Hound Of Dracula (also known as ‘Dracula’s Dog’) I was about 9 years old. It was a very hot Summers day, roughly 3pm in the afternoon and I was curled up on the sofa with a bad cold. My Dad got me a LARGE Strawberry Sundae from the ice …
If you were a kid in the UK during the late 70s / early 80s then you would have owned some Top Trumps cards … It was inevitable. Your parents would buy a pack for a long car journey. Your Grandparents would come down to visit and thrust a pack in your hands as soon …
