“They’re coming to get you, Barbara…” It’s a classic, oft-quoted line, but one that gets me right in the mood for it’s source material. And the Z word is never used, they are in fact referred to as ghouls. This film can be seen as the transition point for zombies… from living dead servants…

The Devil Rides Out (1968)
Released as The Devil’s Bride in North America, this 1968 Hammer film is one of sheer delight. Not the least of which is Christopher Lee in a heroic role for a change, and Charles Gray (who I enjoyed in both his appearances in the Bond series, as well as The Rocky Horror Picture Show) as…
Guidestones
One of the very cool things that Sue and I discovered yesterday is a webseries called Guidestones. We spent some time chatting with their street team at their table as well as attending their presentation. We were very lucky to be able to find time to chat with series writer/director Jay Ferguson, and stars Supinder…
Fan Expo Comic Con
So Sue and I had a great old time at the Comic Con put on by Fan Expo. It’s a smaller scale event than their con in August, and honestly is a great way to start the convention season. Happily, there wasn’t a lot of things that Sue and I wanted to do on…
Lucas Bryant
So, Sue and I have finally scored our first interview with a Haven cast member. And as much as I like Emily Rose and Eric Balfour, Lucas is the one I wanted to chat with most. I would love to be able to go drinking with this guy, cause he just comes across as…

Tim’s Top 5 Female Characters
It’s International Women’s Day, and to celebrate I thought I would share my favorite female characters, smart, strong, and independent women! 1) Buffy Summers – She may be the Slayer, but at her heart, Buffy is a woman who does what she does because it’s the right thing to do. She has a number of setbacks in…
Toronto Comic Con 2012
This weekend, Sue and I will be spending some time at the Toronto Comic Con. I’m looking forward to the wandering around and checking out the tables, and displays, not to mention the costumes! So you can probably expect lots of pictures from me and Sue. There’s a number of people showing up for this…
Hour of the Wolf (1968)
I’m not sure where I come down on this film. There were moments that actually made me anxious, though there is nothing graphically disturbing happening. In what was Ingmar Bergman’s only horror film, the wonderful Max Von Sydow takes center stage as an artist plagued by the ghosts and demons of his past, though whether…
Animal Webcams
If you’re like Sue and I, then you tend to be a sucker for watching animals. Our membership for the Toronto Zoo has already paid for itself, and will joyfully be renewed when it comes around. A new show is starting on Discovery on March 18 called Frozen Planet. In connection with it, they’ve put…
