Stats, Changes, And What To Expect In 2024! 2023 was a time of change for Ken’s Alternate Universe. I monetized the blog to generate a little bit of income (Thirty-four cents in seven months, I’m on fire!) and was on track to have the most posts ever in a year. Then I hit a brickContinue reading “Year In Review 2023!”

Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Sheila The Thief
“We’re trapped in another world!” Being a kid in rural Louisiana with hardly any friends to play with in the 1980s meant that my only exposure to Dungeons & Dragons was the classic cartoon that ran for three season from 1983 to 1985. I loved the series. I didn’t even know at the time thatContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Sheila The Thief”
Genie (2023)
“I wish that you did….“ Swooping into the holiday season with little more than a puff of magical smoke, 2023’s Genie has been available on the Peacock streaming service since the end of November. Sadly, there hasn’t been much talk about this light family comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and Paapa Essiedu. It seems to haveContinue reading “Genie (2023)”
Totally Killer (2023)
“Remember, avoid the knife, keep your life.” Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men, Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina) heads up the time traveling whodunit Totally Killer. The 2023 slasher/sci-fi/dark comedy/mystery has a lot going on in it with two plots running parallel in the present and way back in 1987. In the film, Shipka plays Jamie Hughes, aContinue reading “Totally Killer (2023)”
Flashback Friday: Prince Valiant (1997)
“He told them I was valiant…..” Much like The Phantom, Dick Tracy, and a number of other popular older comic and comic strip properties in the 1990s, Hal Foster’s legendary comic strip Prince Valiant (1937) received the cinematic treatment in the hopes of cashing in on the success of films such as 1989’s Batman. WhileContinue reading “Flashback Friday: Prince Valiant (1997)”
Outpost: Texas Renaissance Festival 2023
Lift Up Your Cares! I headed out to the Texas Renaissance Festival for what I believe was my fifteenth year on October 14th. To be entirely honest, there have been too many bottles of mead between my first visit and my most recent one to recall just how many times I’ve gone to this festival.Continue reading “Outpost: Texas Renaissance Festival 2023”
Nerd Con 2023: Adventures At Nerd Con
Mont Belvieu, TX Since all of my time last month was dedicated to Thirty-One Days O’Horror, I didn’t get to tell you wonderful folks about some other events that I attended in October. Today I will play a bit of “catch-up” on one of the events and later on I’ll address another amazing event thatContinue reading “Nerd Con 2023: Adventures At Nerd Con”
Halloween Bites! Thirty-One Days O’Horror 2024!
Next Halloween Is Gonna Suck! Thirty-One Days O’Horror has gone down many dark alleys over the years. From a look at all of the classic Universal Monsters to classic Disney horror films and attractions to a bevy of beautiful Final Girls and this year’s sadistic slashers, I try to keep things a bit fresh eachContinue reading “Halloween Bites! Thirty-One Days O’Horror 2024!”
Revenge Of The Slashers: Michael Myers
The night HE came home! Happy Halloween! You’ve made it to the final day of Thirty-One Days O’Horror! My month long celebration of my favorite slashers comes to a close with none other than Michael Myers! He wasn’t the first slasher, isn’t the most lethal, but he’s the granddaddy of ’em all! There was noContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: Michael Myers”
Revenge Of The Slashers: Ghostface
“Do you like scary movies????“ Ghostface needs no introduction. If you’ve been on this planet since 1996, there’s no doubt in my mind that you have seen at least one Scream film. When the original Scream movie hit the big screen, it turned the slasher genre on its head, directly referencing other films in theContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: Ghostface”
