COMING SOON:
Sword of the War-Monster (graphic novel)
“When the vile necro-wizard Bezulus released his unholy magic to create an army of monstrous servants, his most ambitious creation was the War-Monster — a stitched-together titan forged from the bones, blood, and weapons of ancient warriors. Unbeknownst to Bezulus, an even more power wizard had just simultaneously cast his own spell, unleashing a monster plague upon the world. Bezulus believed he could control his new monster. He was wrong. Now free, the War-Monster carves a path of destruction across a corrupted world, bent on one goal: KILL EVERY WIZARD. On a quest for vengeance, armed with the cursed Blood-Blade, and haunted by the spirits of the fallen heroes he’s built from, the War-Monster will face horrifying creatures, battle other enchanted beasts, and seek the one sorcerer responsible for the monster plague… and END HIM.”
“Written by SHANNON ERIC DENTON (X-Men, Avengers) and JEFF MARIOTTE (Desperadoes, 30 Days of Night). Fully illustrated in gothic, horror-drenched detail by DAVID HARTMAN (Phantasm: Ravager, Transformers Prime).”

GIALLO GABS GRUESOME:
Bat City Scaregrounds
Back in October, I had the opportunity to visit the horror haunt theme park Bat City Scaregrounds, of which I said — “From the many vendors, to the live music, to the main attractions themselves… You get a lot of bang for your buck, so if you’re itching for a Halloween experience that offers more than just the haunts themselves, the Scaregrounds are worth your time!”
Read my full thoughts right here, and be ready to get your tickets next Halloween!

Carnosaur (isolated soundtrack)
Thanks to Michael Calhoun, I was able to post the ISOLATED SOUNDTRACK to Adam Simon’s CARNOSAUR to my website, for all to listen! As far as we know, there’s not many places where you can listen to them in this quality, so it’s an HONOR to host them on my site! Listen to it right here!
Once again, I’d like to thank ALL the creators who shared their work with me, and allowed me to share it with you! Tune in next time, same channel for our next Indie Horror forecast. Keep your umbrella on hand and give up on wearing white — this bloody storm shows no sign of stopping!
