If you’re a movie fan and want to depress yourself sometime, just fire up your search engine of choice and try looking for video rental stores in your area (along with the surrounding areas). Chances are you’ll find either nothing active or one lone holdout serving multiple cities. Everything else is just libraries and rental …

We have special days devoted to comic book stores, gaming stores and record stores, and now we finally have one for video rental stores! Video Store Day (aka International Independent Video Store Day) occurs on the third Saturday of October, with it falling on the 19th this year. We’ll have more details about the event …

Since the response was so positive last year, I’ve gathered up another selection of haunted attraction video tours, both home haunt and professional. I’m afraid there aren’t any hayride videos this time around, but instead there’s several haunted trail videos (and even one for a corn maze) in addition to all of the haunted house …

It just occurred to me that, despite the obvious Friday the 13th connection, I’ve never discussed Alice Cooper’s classic song “He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask)” here before. That oversight ends today, thanks to this upload by lairofhorror: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qglpDlSlPzE Now that I think about it, it’s eerily appropriate how I decided to write about …

Once again, it’s Free RPG Day and we here at Gravedigger’s Local 16 are doing our own unofficial contribution to the event. What is Free RPG Day? It’s when gaming stores all over the US (and other countries) give away free RPG adventures and other useful role-playing items. You can find out what retailers in …

It’s time for our annual luchador-themed take on Cinco de Mayo and what better way to celebrate than with an El Santo margarita? Granted, I’m not entirely sure if it has anything to do with the famous luchador, but you know what? IT DOES NOW! Remember back in the first El Santo de Mayo article …

Once again that special day is here to encourage us to help support the local stores that keep us supplied in comics, horror magazines, model kits, DVDs and so much more. Thanks to the photo gallery at the Free Comic Book Day Facebook page, I’ve compiled a list of all the horror/sci-fi related titles that …

Record store Day is here at last. Seeing as how we’ve already discussed why this day is so important and showed you where to find the list of all the freebies available this year, there’s not much to say. You can find a list of the North American stores celebrating here and the list of …

That’s right, this year’s Record Store Day will be held on April 20, 2013. You can find a complete list of all the free goodies available at this year’s event here. Although there’s nothing on said list that immediately leaps out to me as something of interest for horror fans, we still recommend that you …

The objective is the same as it was last year: Find all of the articles that reveal hidden “Easter Eggs” in the disc being reviewed that are hidden among other articles without them. The actual amount of Easter Eggs is low this year, but new players should feel free to visit the previously-linked installment for …

Given today’s date and the recent birthday of Rich Koz (aka the man who plays Svengoolie), it seemed that the best way for us to celebrate St. Patty’s Day would be to share this comedy sketch that pits Sven against a leprechaun (but not *the* leprechaun): In case you were wondering, the above video was …

The above spooky Valentine’s Day image is the work of one Eric Pigors. Being a horror fan, you’ve probably come across his work online at some point. In fact, readers of this site should easily recognize his work from the cover of Gore Galore’s Sounds of Gore sampler CD. However, chances are that you (and …

Gravedigger’s Local 16 is no stranger to spooky papercraft, so it only makes sense that we celebrate Chinese New Year with a papercraft Chinese hopping vampire! The one pictured above was designed by GRAVE (which was made using Shin Tanaka’s limited edition “Gritty” template). If you want to build your own papercraft jiangshi (which translates …

Another year, another fan-made music video of a holiday song by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. This year’s selection is “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fishmen,” as filmed and uploaded by one haakor: That said, you shouldn’t watch it if you want to avoid any spoilers for The Shadow Over Innsmouth… Merry Christmas!
