NO BETTER BARNABAS

So Johnny Depp’s doing pretty well for himself, isn’t he? The legacy grows as Depp has snapped up the rights to produce and star in a bi-screen adaptation of the beloved Dark Shadows series from yesteryear. As best described, it’s a soap opera about vampires and monsters. Nowhere near as goofy as Buffy and nowhere … Continue reading

DELLAMORTE DOES BO – 7/27/07

After the footage and two trailers, we came to the conclusion that a lot of what we had seen … Continue reading

Call me a sucker for green gentlemen who punch giant dog balls if you must [actually call me on the CHUD Podcast Voice Mail Line at 1-678-827-0940] but I stand by the choice. Despite the vacuum … Continue reading
