Although I’m not a fan of Doctor Who, I must admit to having a fondness for Daleks. Their unusual appearance is both visually pleasing and does an excellent job of hiding the fact there’s a human performer inside. This was an intentional (and brilliant) choice by Dalek creator Terry Nation and designer Ray Cusick, which …

Burn: Out and Up.
I need to find an official ‘Gravediggers Local 16 Halloween Countdown Trophy’ and mail it to Weird Jon for this is the third consecutive year in a row that he’s maintained a straight countdown OR lasted longer than I have. The man is a machine. I wouldn’t say I burn out easily but that the …

Women are scary, too.
Jason. Freddy. Leatherface. Pinhead. Where are the women? Technically, it was Mrs. Voorhees who did all the killing in the first ‘Friday,’ but where are the iconic female monsters to compete with the males? I haven’t seen all the horror movies out there and my memory can be dim as a jack o’lantern’s candle in …

High-Tech Haunted Houses
For the past two Halloween Countdowns, I’ve always had at least one haunted attraction review. Sadly, it’s looking more and more like that won’t be the case this year. Ironically, my busy schedule for the countdown leaves me with zero free time to check out any of the few haunted attractions that are within reasonable …

You’re no better than Puppetose Street
Longtime readers of the site know it’s no secret that that we love puppets. Especially the inventive use of a low budget and twisted humor from the warped world of Puppetose. Given the Halloween season, I thought it would be good to share one of my favorite episodes of PuppeTose Street, wherein the gang visits …

Move Your Dead Bones
Back in 2003, the people behind Beyond Re-Animator came up with a brilliant idea. In order to further publicize the latest installment of the 80’s Re-Animator franchise, a music video was prepared featuring an artist specially named to tie into the series: Dr. Reanimator. Not only would it further pad out the extra features on …

The Ded Dave Show Show
We’re always a fan of independent horror and cinema, so it was very kind for the folks over at The Ded Dave Show to clue us in to their little corner of the world, letting us know about their upcoming necro-cabaret of sorts: “May 22, 2010 brings The Ded Dave Show SHOW to Theatre Bizarre …

Ghost Hunting with the Muppets
It’s no secret that we here at Gravedigger’s Local 16 love puppets, especially the Muppets. So you can imagine how delighted I was to find this ghost-hunting demonstration by Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker, straight from the official themuppetlabs Youtube channel: I was originally going to save this for the next installment of my “horror …

This Is Just A Tribute
Glen Danzig, Doyle and Jerry Only don’t need to get back together. If they ever do, I know five million people who will drive, fuck and/or kill for tickets for that Misfits reunion but at this point, those three (plus Robo) don’t need to get together. What brought this up? I found youtube videos of …
