No internet. No update from me. Trick or treat. Smell my feet. Give me something good to eat. If you don’t, fuck you. edit: Got internet. Still grouchy.

The Internet Rips You Off
Things are quiet around here as everyone prepares for the annual Halloween Countdown. We’ll have new, daily content for you throughout October (even weekends. Rad, right?) 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 …

Bruce and Sam v. The Evil Dead
By now, you’ve probably read that the Evil Dead remake won’t include the main character, Ash, in any form. Bruce Campbell won’t show up as an aged S-Mart employee doling out advice to some new bunch of saps who happened to read from the Necronomicon. Sure, Bruce will be in the film but not as …

All Dark, No Depp
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, …

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 …

GdL16: Origins
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 …

6′+ Episode 12 is Up!
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 …

Dead on the Beat
Since I’m no longer under the legal drinking age limit, I don’t watch MTV anymore. Because of such, I had no idea that the network developed its own take on the “cops v. spooky” fad that’s hitting us soon. I knew about that ‘Teen Wolf’ remake but this ‘Death Valley’ show was under my radar. io9.com has …

Room For All
Have you checked the ABOUT page? Did you see our motto? Omnis Habet Locum. ‘Everyone has a place.’ See. I don’t agree with a lot of the world. Considering how big it is, that’s no surprise. In the fight between you and the world, back the world. It’s bigger, more politically connected and better financed. Similarly, there’s a …

We sCare.
Considering that 20% of American’s juvenile population was found to be living in poverty (according to a 2009 study), the announcement of the sCare Foundation comes at a much needed time. “[Malek] Akkad is excited to announce the launch of the sCare (Suspense Community Allocating Relief and Empowerment) Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to alleviating …

Freaky Tiki Surf-ari: The Return
That’s right…the Freaky Tiki Surf-ari is back and better than ever! We even have a logo this time around! We’re still going to take a look at the connections between Tiki culture, surf music and horror while not being quite as…overwhelming as last year’s installment. Weird Jon has also been fine-tuning his music reviewing style …

I’m Back! (Let’s Do The Time Warp Again)
As faithful readers are already aware, June was a rough month for me. Two lengthy articles had to go on the back burner and my computer’s untimely death set back both my GdL and real-life responsibilities, so much so that I had to spend all of July (and some of August) catching up on everything. …

Where In The World is Weird Jon?
We actually know the answer to that. He got in touch with the Front Office to let us know that his computer is hovering across the threshold of Death. Either mad science will stitch his machine and resurrect it, or we’ll have to bury it. So sad. His email access is limited at this point. …
