I do have a review of The Apparition upcoming, I'd love to write about the Stephen King/Joe Hill graphic novel version of DUEL along with the film adaptation of Matheson's story, I'm strolling through the art book on ossuaries and charnel houses, I've got two more movies waiting for me at home, I've got games on the brain so I really want to talk about horror themed tabletop games...

I wish I could bribe Santy CLAWS and the BRAIN-deer that pull his SLAY to do my work for me, if only they were real. In fact, I--

Alright, alright, I'll stop, don't hurt me. I do love a good Crypt Keeper pun though, so here's some fun to be had before the weekend:
