Farewell, Zombie Awareness Month
Although I think our selection of zombie-related posts was wider than last year’s offers, I must admit that our grand total of zombie-related content was not quite as large as I had hoped. Granted, many of us were very busy this month, but I still felt kind of bad about it. So I thought make …

It’s El Santo de Mayo!
Remember last year’s news about the discovery of the previous lost El Vampiro y El Sexo variant of the film of Santo en el tesoro de Dracula (translation: Santo in “The Treasure of Dracula”)? Well, we have an update! The film was shown both in theaters and the CineMexico cable channel before El Hijo del …

It’s Free Comic Book Day!
At long last, it’s Free Comic Book Day! But although all the free stuff is great, it’s not what makes the holiday so important. Instead, it’s spreading the word about both comic books and comic book stores. It’s been said here before and I’ll say it again: Comic book stores are an invaluable resource for …

TGIF13 V: How Old Is Jason Voorhees?
Ages ago on Twitter, I once read a Tweet idly wondering how old is Jason Voorhees is supposed to be. Not how old the character is in terms of his place in pop culture, but literally how old the slasher is in terms of the franchise’s continuity. Anyone who’s seen the fourth film, Friday the …

Spooky Saint Patrick’s Day Goodies
Today seems like the perfect time to share the following bit of news: Lionsgate and the WWE are teaming up to reboot the Leprechaun franchise. It seems safe to assume that Dylan “Hornswoggle” Postl will be replacing Warwick Davis and that the much-rumored “Leprechaun goes west” and “Chucky vs. Leprechaun” films have been shelved. If …

Killwanzaa
As many faithful readers know, much effort has been put into finding a way to do a horror-related Kwanzaa article with little results. Why? Well, we here at Gravedigger’s Local 16 try to be all inclusive and more importantly, one does not come up with an awesome name like “Killwanzaa” and not use it. That …

A Mythos Carol
Seeing as how I celebrated Christmas with a Youtube video featuring a Lovecraftian Christmas carol by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society last year, I thought it would be fun to do it again this year. This year’s selection is a fan-made music video made by GodfreyTemple,: which was apparently approved by the HPLHS: For more …

Stone Golem
Chanukkah started today after the sun set and what better way to celebrate the Festival of Lights on a horror website than by looking at the legendary Jewish monster the golem? As Weird Jon’s planned article on the subject was put on hold due to time constraints, I thought I’d step in to celebrate with …

More Christma(dnes)s
In the spirit of last year’s “Christma(dnes)s,” I thought I would share another collection of both weird and wonderful Christmas-related links: The Abominable N. Oremac got me into the Christmas spirit by sending me a link to an article about a Christmas tree in Japan that’s shaped like Godzilla and sprays smoke from “its” mouth. …
