Popcorn Horror http://www.PopcornHorror.com Available for Android and iPhone. Admittedly, I don’t have a lot of horror apps on my phone. And that might not be my fault. I use a Galaxy SII with the Android OS, whose app store is slightly anemic compared to the robust iPhone App store, but each platform has an abundant …

We here at Gravedigger’s Local 16 don’t subscribe to the notion of online pranks on April Fools’ Day. Sure, we thought about it from time to time, but things never panned out the way we wanted them to and we eventually abandoned the concept. That said, we figured that now would be a good time …

According to this, the song was originally released as a special download via Bruce Springsteen’s official website on Halloween in 2008, as both a bit of spooky fun and as a tribute to his home state’s most infamous urban legend. A music video for it appeared on the deluxe edition DVD of Springsteen’s Working on …

It’s no secret that I love stop motion comedy videos that pay tribute to horror classics, so it should be no surprise that I was very interested when I heard there was a claymation parody of John Carpenter’s The Thing floating around online: In case you’re wondering, this was done in the style of the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

It’s no secret that I’m fond of posting humorous Lovecraftian videos here at Gravedigger’s Local 16. So when I heard that someone decided to play off the name “The Call of Cthulhu” by doing a series featuring the high priest of the Great Old Ones as the host of a call-in show, I was very …

Remember Big Scream TV: The Boo Tube? Well, the company behind that series does other lines of video decor DVDs. One such example is Halloween Scarols, which combines Big Scream TV-style characters with Halloween-themed Christmas carol parodies. In fact, the songs were later released as a CD as well! As I’ve shared music videos from …

The last time I discussed VHS cover art, I had wanted to include a video featuring artwork by a British artist. As I was unable to remember his name, I was unable to find, let alone include, it. Thankfully, diligent searching has paid off and I finally remembered his name: Graham Humphreys. British readers will …

Strange Jason once said there was a difference between doing a cover of a song and doing a version of a song. Although I used to think he was splitting hairs, I have since changed my mind. One musician doing their take on another’s song can both pay tribute to the original and create an …

I first became aware of ArtieTSMITW thanks to a friend and I constantly joking about a YTMND featuring the infamous “The line must be drawn here!” line from Star Trek: First Contact. One day, said friend linked me to a reenactment of the scene by Artie. This was back when he had first started out, …

Like many of you reading this, I love old school VHS cover art. Since I recently found a bumper crop of websites devoted to showcasing 80’s VHS cover art, I just had to share. Although most of these focus solely on horror/sci-fi, a few do feature cover art from other genres: Video Cultures 80’s VHS …

Bela Lugosi’s battle with drug addiction is well known throughout horror fandom. Lugosi developed sciatica due to leg injuries he received in the first World War. As his leg pains grew worse and worse, he was eventually prescribed painkillers like morphine, Demerol, and methadone. Like many (but not all) people who are given such drugs, …

It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of PuppeTose Theater. But with all the focus on puppets, it’s all too easy to forget that the mastermind behind it all, Ross Wilsey, also dabbles in animation. So in honor of back to school season, here’s my favorite animated work of his, straight from the official PuppeTose …
