Houston Marriott Westchase, August 11-13th Hell descended upon H-Town once again as the Houston Horror Film Festival returned to the Houston Marriott Westchase over the weekend. The event was a massive success, with an excellent crowd on Friday evening and a shoulder-to-shoulder group in attendance on Saturday. I was unable to attend on Sunday, butContinue reading “Houston Horror Film Fest 2023!”

Calcasieu SerialFest Chapter 8!
Welcome To The Jungle! Calcasieu SerialFest made its triumphant return to Sulphur, LA on July 30th! After a small event in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions and no event at all last year due to the total destruction of the Brimstone Museum in Sulphur after Hurricane Laura hit southwest Louisiana, retro film fans were hungryContinue reading “Calcasieu SerialFest Chapter 8!”
CyPhaCon Returns Tonight!
It’s Finally Convention Time! After missing out on a number of conventions over the last three years due to hurricanes, COVID-19, and just plain ol’ dumb luck, I’m finally heading back to conventions this year. While I managed to attend a few film festivals, I haven’t attended a comic or pop culture convention since 2019.Continue reading “CyPhaCon Returns Tonight!”

NECA Defenders Of The Earth: Flash Gordon
Finally!!!! I finally managed to get my hands on the Flash Gordon figure from NECA’s Defenders of the Earth line! The figure eluded me for months. Sure, Flash was one of the first figures that I saw on the peg at Walmart, but I decided to wait on purchasing him after I picked up theContinue reading “NECA Defenders Of The Earth: Flash Gordon”
NECA Defenders of the Earth: The Phantom
“The Beasts Call Him Brother, The Ghost Who Walks!” I’ve been waiting a long time for a quality figure of The Phantom to hit store shelves. Those who have been following my blog know that I fell in love with the character years ago while reading the comic strips and watching the Billy Zane 90’sContinue reading “NECA Defenders of the Earth: The Phantom”
Who Knows….
What Evil Lurks In The Hearts Of Men? Having recently revisited The Rocketeer and The Phantom, two 1990’s films set in the 1930’s, it’s only natural that I also take a look at 1994’s The Shadow, an Alec Baldwin vehicle that had high hopes just like those films did but ultimately fell flat at theContinue reading “Who Knows….”
“The Ghost Who Walks” Revisited
For Those Who Came In Late…. I’ve quietly been a fan of the Phantom since I was a child. I was never that familiar with the comic strip since it didn’t run in any local papers, but I remember reading the strip every chance that I got whenever we would visit friends and family orContinue reading ““The Ghost Who Walks” Revisited”
Calcasieu Serial Fest: Chapter Four!
The 1940’s I’ve been a fan of classic serials for pretty much my entire life. I remember watching classic movies from the 1930’s, 1940’s, and 1950’s on Sunday afternoons after going to the Calcasieu River with my family. We would get home in time to watch a series on our local PBS affiliate. I believeContinue reading “Calcasieu Serial Fest: Chapter Four!”
