Above is a rare, vintage sketch of Morbius the Living Vampire drawn by Paul Gulacy way back in 1980.
The sketch reminds me of the first Paul Gulacy art I ever owned. It was also a Morbius and victim sketch that I purchased in 1978 or 1979. At the time he was a second or third tier Marvel character. Who’d have thought that Morbius would be the “star’ of a movie in 2020?
I love this Jurassic Park poster by Paul Mann. You can see a bigger version at Alternative Movie Poster Movement. If you like what you can see, you should click over to Paul Mann’s site and check out his portfolio. There you’ll find more of Mann’s posters, prints and original art.
I like this poster for Spiral. As you’re probably aware Spiral takes place in the Saw universe. I’m not sure if you’d call it a sequel. The poster has gotten my attention. I liked the original Saw movie. Maybe this one will be as good…
Isn’t it about time for even more Two Sentence Horror Stories? Here are three…

As she ate her burger I knew she was bluffing.

It would spice up my autobiography a little.
I told the genie for my third and final wish, I wanted my family to be happy.
And I started fading.
Here’s the poster and trailer for the Twilight Zone-esque The Platform.
Inside a vertical prison system, inmates are assigned to a level and forced to ration food from a platform that moves between the floors. Directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, The Platform is a twisted social allegory about mankind at its darkest and hungriest.

Here’s the poster and trailer for Sea Fever. Yes, this would be a great drive-in movie!
Sea Fever is a tense and original Irish sci-fi thriller reminiscent of cult classics The Thing and The Abyss, starring Hermione Corfield (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) and Connie Nielsen (Wonder Woman).
For marine biology student Siobhan (Hermione Corfield), it was supposed to be a research excursion with a trawler crew fishing the West Irish seas. But when they hit an unseen object and become marooned, a mysterious parasite infects their water supply. Soon the oozing force infiltrates the entire vessel and turns Siobhan’s journey into a claustrophobic fight for survival.Can they stop the mysterious water borne parasite from spreading before it’s too late? Sea Fever also stars Dougray Scott (Hitman) and Jack Hickey (Game of Thrones). Written and directed by BAFTA© winning Irish filmmaker Neasa Hardiman (behind BBC triumph Happy Valley and Netflix hit Jessica Jones).

The Bristol Board has posted the complete story for Bats by Doug Moench, Paul Gulacy, and Duffy Vohland from Vampire Tales #7, published in October 1974.
I cannot wait for this one! I loved Train to Busan and the sequel, Peninsula, looks to be just as good!
PENINSULA takes place four years after the zombie outbreak in TRAIN TO BUSAN.
The Korean peninsula is devastated and Jung-seok, a former soldier who has managed to escape overseas, is given a mission to go back and unexpectedly meets survivors.
Hoping for a trailer soon!

Deadline broke the story that Syfy has given the green light given to a 10-episode series based on George A. Romero’s classic Day of the Dead that should air in 2021. Here’s the synopsis…
Day of the Dead is the intense story of six strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion.
I like the sound of this quite a bit. The most exciting parts of zombie movies are at the very start when people don’t know what is happening or how to deal with it. The idea of strangers having to come together to survive is a winning concept. I just hope that the zombies aren’t able to “learn” as in Romero’s Day of the Dead.
The Cursed Films poster and trailer are here.
Cursed Films is a five-part documentary series which explores the myths and legends behind some of Hollywood’s notoriously “cursed” horror film producIons. From plane accidents and bombings during the making of The Omen, to the rumored use of real human skeletons on the set of Poltergeist, these stories are legendary amongst film fans and filmmakers alike. But where does the truth lie?
Cursed Films reveals the events that haunted these producIons through interviews with experts, witnesses and the cast, directors and producers who lived through the real-life events. Were these films really cursed, as many believe, or just the vicIms of bad luck and bizarre circumstances?
The Most Dangerous Animal of All is going to be must-see TV! Check out the trailer below!

Kingdom was a surprise hit. Here’s the Season 2 Trailer. I’m looking forward to this!
As winter approaches, the battle between the living and the undead in Joseon is just beginning. The royal court is teeming with snakes, the zombies are coming, and the crown prince has a nation to save. The worst is yet to come, and everyone will need to choose a side without knowing who they can really trust.
How cool is this Bride of Frankenstein painting by Alex Ross? As cool as it is, this is still my favorite Alex Ross painting… but The Bride is a close second.
