We’re returning to the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles once again for a multi-part epic swarming with monsters. For those of you unfamiliar with the Ninja Turtles, as they’re colloquially known, I wrote about them here and, as prophesied, you can get a quick run-down of what’s what in the beginning of that article, thoughContinue reading “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: “Monsters Among Us””

Madhouse (1974)
I’ve had the pleasure of watching this film a few times since first writing this post–as originally featured at Crane’s Cabinet of Kinetographic Curiosities–and I tend to like it more and more each time. But, I’ll let the review itself speak to why that is, and follow with a couple of additional comments after that.Continue reading “Madhouse (1974)”
Revisiting Pinky and the Brain: “A Pinky and the Brain Halloween”
This article originally ran on Third Attempt on October 5, 2008. Despite the introduction, it was the only Halloween special revisit that ever ran on that site and was, in fact, the last post on that site before the advent of the Meekrat Entertainment Group which was a precursor to the Fictosphere. The first specialContinue reading “Revisiting Pinky and the Brain: “A Pinky and the Brain Halloween””
Joker: The Jonathan Hortenz Review
My taskmasters at the Fictosphere have taken pity on me and sent me tickets to see Joker several weeks after its release. While this site has already reviewed it, they rightfully requested that a professional offer his more qualified opinion. I do find it somewhat limiting that my life is now controlled by a trioContinue reading “Joker: The Jonathan Hortenz Review”
Revisiting Darkwing Duck: “Ghoul of My Dreams”
There are several Darkwing Duck episodes which could potentially qualify as “horror” including two with actual demonic entities. There’s also several episodes with a wealth of horror-tinged characters, such as “Fungus Among Us” which introduced Darkwing’s future love interest Morgana Macawber and an army of killer mushrooms. Unfortunately, none of those episodes are on DVDContinue reading “Revisiting Darkwing Duck: “Ghoul of My Dreams””
The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll aka House of Fright aka Jekyll’s Inferno (1961)
So, I don’t really have too much to add to what I’ve already said about this film (as originally posted at Crane’s Cabinet of Kinetographic Curiosities), save only that this film is oddly relevant in 2019. This is especially true in light of internet meme culture, which promotes/illustrates ideas, archetypes, and descriptors such as “incel,”Continue reading “The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll aka House of Fright aka Jekyll’s Inferno (1961)”
The Banana Splits Movie: The Weird Horror Adaption We Need Right Now?
For me, the Banana Splits have always been a thing of darkness. My first encounter with them was late at night in the late nineties, a time when Cartoon Network had neither Adult Swim nor the Toonami they have today. Instead, they ran a lot of old shows and one of those programs was TheContinue reading “The Banana Splits Movie: The Weird Horror Adaption We Need Right Now?”
Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)
Summary: Young real estate agent Jonathan Harker (Bruno Ganz) is sent by his boss Renfield (Roland Topor) to sell an old dilapidated house in Wismar (across from Harker’s own, as luck would have it) to a Transylvanian count named Dracula (Klaus Kinski). Harker’s psychic wife Lucy (Isabelle Adjani) begs him not to go as sheContinue reading “Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)”
Revisiting DuckTales: “Ducky Horror Picture Show”
With the current DuckTales between seasons (and with the third season promising us an almost complete revisit of the Disney Afternoon block) it’s a prime time to take a look back at its predecessor from 1987. When it debuted, it brought with it comics, video games, toys, and even a movie whose relative failure causedContinue reading “Revisiting DuckTales: “Ducky Horror Picture Show””
IT Chapter Two: The Jonathan Hortenz Review
Greetings, dear readers. Several days ago, I was contacted by those who run this site and told they were sending me a free ticket to see the “new scary clown movie” and so I prepared myself for a viewing of Joker which, I gather, is a film about the origins of a murderous clown whichContinue reading “IT Chapter Two: The Jonathan Hortenz Review”
