I’m Not Dead
You haven’t seen much of me around the Local in awhile and there’s a very good reason for that. You see, I collapsed and was temporarily unconscious one night in January. Accounts very as to how long I was out, but it was definitely well under a minute. I was rushed to the hospital and …

Spooky Saint Patrick’s Day Goodies
Today seems like the perfect time to share the following bit of news: Lionsgate and the WWE are teaming up to reboot the Leprechaun franchise. It seems safe to assume that Dylan “Hornswoggle” Postl will be replacing Warwick Davis and that the much-rumored “Leprechaun goes west” and “Chucky vs. Leprechaun” films have been shelved. If …

Image Problems
Been noticing that a lot of the images, carry-overs from out tenure on the gravediggerslocal.blogspot.com account, have turned up dead. A lot of the Tuesday uEtsy features of old are screwed up. I’ve been talking with the Front Office and we’ll have things fixed by April. So if you come across a post a year …

Help Us Secure A Rondo Awards Nomination!
You might remember how we asked our readers to help nominate us so that we could get on the The Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards ballot a few months back. Since then, we have gotten a nomination for 6’+ as Best Horror Audio and one of our writers has put in a nomination for Gravedigger’s …

SOPA 2012
Today (January 18th, 2012) is when a coordinated effort by most of the major web sites and services (Google, Wikipedia, The Oatmeal) have ‘gone black’ in protest of H.R. 3261 or ‘Stop Online Piracy Act.’ We’re not going black because, honestly, it requires more CSS scripting than what I currently know. I personally oppose SOPA and …

New Year, Full Moon
2012. It’s a brand new year. We have lots of plans here at Gravedigger’s Local 16. First is our eventually taking down our Blogspot page. Although it was the site’s birthplace, there’s no real point in keeping up something that isn’t updated anymore. We’re aiming for having it taken down and converted into a redirection …

The Day After
Good Morning, everyone. The Day after Halloween usually indicates a slowdown, as Weird Jon and I usually chill out after the Halloween Bonanza. But, we’re going to keep things going strong. The weekends won’t have as much content as they used to but we’ll try to have some daily content for you. We hope to …

The Cramps were in a Cat Food commercial
Or specifically, a target ad featuring a pale H.P. Lovecraft looking motherfucker being stalked by his British Grey shorthair in regards to the deals on Catfood available at Target. Insane. The opening notes were from either “I was a Teenage Werewolf” or their cover of “Rockin’ Bones.” Edit: Someone put video of it up!

ORANGEgeddon / PUMPocalypse
Maybe you’ve seen this in your part of the world, but there are reports of a pumpkin shortage here in the US. After a summer with heavy rains and turbulent winter, the crops have been either rotted out by disease or washed away by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Depending where you go, you …

Halloween on the Cheap
Paranormal Activity 3 opens next Friday. Are you excited? I’m not. Why? Because I’m tired of derivative content. I’m tired of the news about the multiple Frankenstein movies in production. I’m sick of commercials for Grimm and the subway signs for Once Upon A Time (which is the inspiration for yesterday’s post, since I’m one red sharpie …
