Stine is launching Goosebumps: House of Shivers! Titled “Scariest. Book. Ever.” (click-bait isn’t reserved only for websites, it seems), Goosebumps: House of […]

The House of No Return was originally published in October 1994 (Special Edition Spine #1). The series adaptation aired on Saturday, September 13, 1997 (runtime: 22 minutes).

Matthew Costello Interview – Writer of ‘Child’s Play’ Sequel Novels Recalls Expanding Upon the Chucky Universe

February 15, 2023 Ike Oden Books, Child's Play, Chucky, Interviews, Matthew Costello

You think Blumhouse’s M3GAN is a big deal? From 1988 to 1991, Chucky was even bigger. From 7-Eleven to Spencer’s Gifts, American stores were crammed to the brim with Child’s Play comics, toys, posters, bumper stickers, magazines, books and t-shirts. For me, a tiny tot who lived in constant terror of the quote-unquote Good Guy, […]

Pablo Picasso is often credited with having said that good artists borrow and great artists steal. Obviously, the Spanish painter wasn’t referring to plagiarism, but instead insinuating that ideas grow when they inspire other artists to make them their own. After all, all art is part of a larger cultural ouroboros – an ever-growing creature […]

January 30, 2023 Patrick Brennan Books, Editorials, Nightmares & Dreamscapes, Stephen King, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams

Stephen King’s creative output is the stuff of legend. The number of stories that have flowed from that man’s brain, like water from a tap that can’t be shut off, is staggering.

Out of all the popular Universal monsters, werewolves may have appeared the most often in ‘90s children’s literature. There was something about these hirsute creatures of the night that appealed to young readers back then. Through adult eyes, werewolves are a duality of man and beast, day and night, and good and evil. For kids, […]
