The Doctor Sleep trailer is here. It definitely has me interested in the movie and the novel as well.

What We Do in the Shadows is a FX tv series based on the movie of the same name. The premise is that a documentary crew is following four vampires who share a house together. The movie was surprisingly good and the tv does a great job of meeting that standard. Today we have a video that takes us behind-the-scenes.

The Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark poster and trailer are here!
From the dark imaginations of Academy Award®-winner Guillermo del Toro and acclaimed director André Øvredal, based on the iconic book series, comes Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark — in theaters this summer.
It’s 1968 in America. Change is blowing in the wind…but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town of Mill Valley where for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time—stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying home.

The 47 Meters Down: Uncaged poster and trailer are here. Stallone fans should note that Sistine Stallone is one of the stars of the movie.
I really like Liam Sharp’s The Lycan shown above. You can see much larger versions (pen & ink plus the color) at Comics (Most of the Time).

If you’ve never watched Fear the Walking Dead or if you did watch it but gave up on it, please consider giving it a(nother) go. The cast has changed as has the focus. I’ve really enjoyed the new direction.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look!

Here’s a trailer for Evil. The trailer is good. I hope the series holds up.

Jonathan Maberry’s V-Wars is being adapted into a Netflix series starting this fall. V-Wars concerns humans facing a potential apocalypse not of zombies but of vampires!
As a companion piece and direct tie-in to the V-Wars series, creator Maberry and IDW Publishing are teaming up once more for a fanged foray into this horrific universe with the V-Wars: God of Death one-shot coming to comic shops May 29.
If this sounds like something you’d like SyfyWire has an advanced look: EXCLUSIVE: THE VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE GETS REAL IN IDW’S V-WARS: GOD OF DEATH.

When you talk Dracula, the first name that comes to mind for me is Bela Lugosi. It’s interesting that Bela played Dracula on Broadway four years before making the classic movie. Above is a rare photo from Bela’s Broadway run as the Count.

The Umbrella Factory is an award-winning animated short that reminds me of something O. Henry (or Papa Stas) would have written. Check it out and see if you don’t agree!

If you’ve got two minutes to spare, then you might want to check out Drip – A Short Horror Film starring Mason Wells that was directed by Brian Lipko and written by Kyle P. Nolan & Brian Lipko.

If you’re a fan of fanzines, then you’ve got to check out Ken Meyer, Jr.’s monthly column Ink Stains. Each month Ken (who is an amazing artist) posts… well, let’s let Ken explain…
I have a collection of over 200 fanzines from the 60’s-80’s that I plan to scan and talk about, one at a time. I hope to have some of the participants answer a few questions. Many of those participants are established comics professionals now, while some have gone on to other things. I will show a few snippets from each zine and give you a link to download a pdf of the whole thing, which I hope all of you will do!
The top piece of art is a Neal Adams pencil sketch that appeared as a front piece for the fanzine Infinity #6. Below is an unused Howard Chaykin cover for Scorpion! Infinity #6 also featured a Jeff Jones cover, art by Tim Connrad, Clyde Caldwell, and much more. (Ink Stains #101).
As always, thanks to Ken for bringing back great memories of fandom!


The October Faction by Steve (30 Days of Night) Niles and artist, Damien Worm is soon to be a series on Netflix.
Before it was a tv series it was a comic series…
Meet the Allan family in this tale about the typical challenges that a very atypical family encounters while fending off the attacks of vampires, werewolves, demons, and more.
From Steve Niles, the co-creator of 30 Days of Night, and artist Damien Worm comes a series about retired monster hunter Fredrick, his wife Deloris, and their two children Geoff and Vivian.
As Fredrick works to put his monster hunting days behind him, his two kids insist on joining the family business. But ghosts from the past refuse to stay dead and conspiring forces lurk in the shadows all leading to a massive showdown with foes supernatural and natural alike!
The October Faction: Open Season collects the first 12 issues of the comic book series and is available for pre-order now.

The Assimilate poster and trailer are here. (So how many times has Invasion of the Body Snatchers been remade?)
