Calls for Cthulhu
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 …

Bad Whoremoans, SAY WHAT AGAIN
For the longest while, ‘SAY WHAT AGAIN,’ or the second Bad Whoremoans album, was widely unavailable. The first self-titled release has been spread along the internet like a cute-kitten viral video, but the second one? Until recently, many people (myself included) didn’t even know there was as second album. But, now available for less than …

Night of the Thanksliving Dead
The amazing picture above is the work of the very talented Brandon Leach. How did I find the image? I stumbled across it while checking out the wall on the Facebook page for the band Zombie! (as heard on our podcast). I love the carvings on the trees, which are a humorous reference to the …

Things I Dig Up
For about five years, I resided in Troy, New York. It was one of the three cities in the “Tri-City Region,” the other two being Schenectady and the state capitol, Albany. Schenectady and I never hit it off. My only forays included hanging out with a semi-crazy goth girl I met while she worked at …

6′+ Episode 17 is Up!
To quote the description given at the new listing: “Kind of a light episode this time around as we recover from Halloween. But, we’d be wrong if we didn’t pay tribute to the greatest day in Kaiju history, the birthday of the King of the Monsters – Godzilla. We’ll have Man…or Astro-Man?, The Creeping Cruds …

SOS MUMMY
Look, we need to do some major work to save our Mummies. I thought that The Mummy did a decent enough job showing how a mummy can be frightening by amplifying both its undead qualities as well as its supernatural powers. The Karloff, shuffle-strangle-moan version can’t really work in today’s world. Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies …

Guest Post: McVladie Interviews author Elizabeth Miller
[Today’s guest post is brought to us by one, McVladie. But let us allow her to introduce herself:] It is ironic isn’t it that a writer can go on for ions about the characters they have created yet when it comes to self description there is a void as deep as a black hole….HELLLOOOO Can …

The path of Excess leads to SAW 3D.
A post-Halloween tradition is to bust out the Minutemen as a palate cleansing device. I like Minutemen a lot. ‘The Punch Line’ got me hooked. Eighteen songs, fifteen minutes; they’re both complex and simple, dealing with deep context, diverging abstracts and yet, still very accessible. The music isn’t obtuse. It’s not the 1-2-3-4 punk rock …

Godzilla and King Kong, Together Again
As it’s the Big G’s birthday, I thought it would be nice to pay tribute to one of his greatest battles. I was stuck on what to do, until I discovered that the Peruvian fast food chain Bembos decided to do a humorous ad reuniting the two (well, reasonable facsimiles of the two) that’s probably …
