A number of Gothic.net staffers spent the week around New Year’s in Las Vegas. There was no Mayan apocalypse, but we got a little apocalyptic on our own. Besides staying up late, gambling, and drinking unusual mixed beverages, we also went to the DoubleDown to see some band I never heard of. The DoubleDown is [...]
It wouldn’t be that notable that someone watched Billy Bob Thornton and some other people playing evil Santas.

What does it take to design props for NBC’s fairytale police procedural drama Grimm? Propmaster Drew Pinniger gives us a glimpse in this video interview. He is especially proud of a Jules Verne-inspired bee stinger weapon, but it did not get a lot of air time in the actual episode it was on last season, [...]
NBC’s television show Grimm is a cop show. With the twist that Detective Nick Burkhardt is a Grimm. This means he can see through the fae glamour the monsters of the Pacific NW use to conceal themselves from mortal man and walk among us. Plus he has some useful super strength and that sort of [...]
