If you only see two American indie features co-starring Satan this year… One should obviously be ‘The VVitch’. The other almost certainly will turn out to be ‘The Alchemist Cookbook’. Seriously, this looks absolutely in-fucking-credible! The Joel Potrykus directed film starring Ty Hickson is out this week via Oscilloscope Laboratories.[…]
There are a lot of survival games. There are a lot of horror games. There are a lot of survival horror games. But only one survival horror game is actually hell to play. That game is MadMind Studio’s forthcoming property ‘AGONY’. Featuring a whole load of Geoetic-style sigils and a[…]
I literally sat here with my jaw hanging open in shock and amazement while watching the new trailer for the forthcoming cinematic adaption of Marvel Comics’ ‘Doctor Strange’. Everything looks absolutely fucking incredible, and the fact that one of the taglines used in the trailer is “change your reality” made[…]
This week Monday Magick wants you to take it easy. Just sway and step to the sounds of “Haunted House” from ‘Before the Rain’ a 1978 LP from Danish harmonica player Lee Oskar. Oskar may be best known as a founding member of Funk outfit War and has also earned[…]
When evil spreads, dread comes for all of us. I have been touched by Satan. We name things so they don’t frighten us. Satan. Evil. For too long I’ve been afraid. Now, I’m not frightened. Season three of period horror drama ‘Penny Dreadful’ begins Sunday, May 1st at 10PM ET/PT[…]
A while back I posted about The Black Tapes Podcast and how obsessed I had become with it. Well, not only have I re-listened to season one of that show several times since then, I’ve also become just as obsessed with the Tanis Podcast, another paranormal-themed serial drama from Pacific[…]
‘Hell and Back’, a new R-rated stop-motion animated comedy/horror flick from ShadowMachine (the studio behind ‘BoJack Horseman’ and several Adult Swim shows) looks kinda like ‘A Nightmare Before Christmas’ if it were made by those ‘Robot Chicken’ dudes*. My ticket is already bought! Or, it would be if it were[…]
This week we’re keeping Monday Magick light and airy with an entry from Jazz/Funk vibraphonist Roy Ayers and his legendary fusion group Roy Ayers Ubiquity. The tune in question is an old favorite of mine, the title track from the band’s 1975 Polydor Records LP ‘Mystic Voyage’. In keeping with[…]
‘As Above So Below’ Rated: R Director: John Erick Dowdle Starring: Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, Edwin Hodge, François Civil, Marion Lambert, Ali Marhyar I was instantly intrigued by ‘As Above So Below’, a 2014 horror film set in the Paris catacombs, when the first trailer started making the rounds last[…]
Over the last few months I’ve become more and more fascinated by investigator and author Walter Bosley and his ‘Empire of the Wheel’ series which focuses on the high weirdness of California’s so-called Inland Empire. I happen to have been born in the area and spent time in several of[…]
Magnolia Pictures’ ‘The ABCs of Death’, a 2012 horror anthology that featured 26 short subjects from a whole host of directors depicting death in it’s myriad of forms, was a ton of grisly fun. They’re dipping back into that blood-filled well again with a sequel, ‘ABCs of Death 2’, which[…]
So, NBC is taking a crack at adapting D.C. Comics’ Alan Moore (sorry Alan) created ‘Hellblazer’ series with a new program following the exploits of magician John Constantine titled (what else?) ‘Constantine’. I didn’t hate the big-screen adaptation of ‘Constantine’ starring Keanu Reeves, despite the fact that they Americanized the[…]
