From the mid-1800’s up until 1920, Spiritualism was a huge movement in the United States.

Its support for …

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 …

Strange things are happening in the small English town of Redlow. After being hit by a major earthquake (despite such things being very rare in the UK), large cracks have been opening all over the area.

You can help out GdL16 by spreading the word – tell people to check us out, interact with us on Twitter and Facebook. In the meantime, I’ll chat a bit about something …

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, …

To quote the description given at the new listing: “Though Autumn is not really a season associated with the words NEW and FRESH, with everything dying around your feet, when do you need new music more than ever?

Can’t say I’m a big Dark Shadows fan, having been born ten years after it went off the air (and never caught a rerun on SyFy or whoever might have carried it post-mortem) so I have no attachment to the franchise. I watched the first twelve episodes or so about a month or two ago, …

As we prepare for the upcoming Halloween schedule, we’re going to suspend out Tuesday uEtsy feature until the start of November. We’ll resume the feature on November 1st or 8th, depending on how well things go. However, we do have good news. Loretta, Bernie and Poinsettia welcomed young Humphrey Freakshow into their family on September …

Although the origins of this website have been previously touched on here, nobody at the Local has really delved into the entire history of this website. Back in 2006, Strange Jason and I were chatting via AIM when he notified me of his plans for a “personal Halloween countdown” where he would listen to some …

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 …

To quote the description given at the new listing: “The parent website of 6′+, Gravedigger’s Local 16, turns 3 years old in September 2011. With gratitude and humility, we give thanks for another year online and above ground. A lot has changed to GdL16 in the past twelve months, but the same appreciation for all …
