We were just reminded by Gothic.Org that, even though the new Martha Stewart Living Halloween special comes out this week, we can get started with last year’s and get to all those Halloween projects we might have procrastinated. Most notably, the issue has an online portion with templates for creating all the crafts described in the magazine and those templates include a Raven, suitable for jack o’lantern pumpkin decoration. I’m sure Gothic.Net readers mostly know that Nars makes the best dark eye makeup, but Martha […]

Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead) plays the lead role in Hector and the Search for Happiness. The opening of the official trailer shows a yellow bi-plane flying among the clouds, the pilot is smiling and there’s a dog in the co-pilot seat. The scene evokes Hector’s nostalgic fantasy of happiness as that same plane turns out to be a remote control plane that stalls and nose-dives into a lake. Hector is a psychiatrist. He is confronted with what appears to be a midlife crisis […]

Inspired by his own podcasting, Kevin Smith has written and directed a new screenplay entitled Tusk, distributed by A24 Films this year. The official trailer introduces Justin Long as an obnoxious podcaster who thinks he is above everyone; his hyperactive-shock-jock antics, and his moustache, are interesting. The guy seems to have it all: girlfriend, car, dream job. The first thing that made me jump was not even that terrifying in retrospect. Unfortunately, Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense) is forever typecast as that child actor. […]

Evil Dead The Musical. Yes, it is a thing. At a glance this musical seems to be a poor satirical cash cow that the playwrights are milking for all its worth. After all, the Evil Dead brand is a cult classic. Upon further investigation, however, this humble and creative team from Canada have actually created something incredible. Evil Dead is great source material for a stage show. Bruce brought the ‘camp’ in Campbell with his iconic role as Ash—the guy with the hand that went […]

This December, the unpleasant divorce battle between artists Margaret Keane and Walter Keane will be coming to the big screen, directed by Tim Burton. It is generally agreed that Margaret Keane painted the wildly successful series of big-eyed waif children, staring tragically out of the frame at the viewer. During the 1960’s, at the height of kitsch art, Walter Keane claimed to be the painter, perhaps as a marketing ploy, perhaps to split the effort of creation and promotion, or perhaps just to take the […]

Skin Game by Jim Butcher is the fifteenth novel in The Dresden Files series—do not fret if you have never read this epic urban contemporary fantasy saga before because each book is written in a way that is very accessible for newcomers. Long term fans will agree that certain recurring location descriptions (McAnally’s Pub) can get a bit tiring. Meet Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Among other spoiler-ish things, Harry is a private investigator and talented wizard from Chicago. His earlier adventures involved chasing werewolves, fighting […]

From the diabolical writer that brought us Tin Man, Alice, and Neverland, comes an exciting and creepy new film about demonic possession, ghosts, and dark magik. ALTAR stars Matthew Modine and Olivia Williams, as a young couple embarking on the renovation and restoration of a creepy old mansion, but in the process they bring back more than just the properties former splendor. I really like the classic Hammer horror style influence that shows in the quality production and I agree that this should be seen […]
