Killer Breakfast Cereals!

 

Guest Mark Dalzell eats A LOT of cereal. So much so, that he’s devoted an Instagram account - @YourCerealKiller – to showcasing boxes of ltd edition, monster-themed and just unusual breakfast cereals. 

 

 

Erin and William got Married!

 

Our favorite spooky couple wed on All Hallows’ Eve 2018 at Station 1, the groovy books, vinyl record and vintage shop in Pomption Lakes, NJ. From their horror-themed attire to their gleefully gruesome vows, the ceremony was everything a monster kid could dream of.

Mail Order Murder - The IndieGoGo W.A.V.E. Movies Documentary

 

William Hellfire and Ross Snyder examine the original “truth is stranger than fiction” story of W.A.V.E. Productions through their IndieGoGo funded documentary campaign. Headed by Gary Whitson, W.A.V.E. Productions amassed over 300 “custom” and “made to order” shot-on-video films since its inception in 1987.  Lt’s an astonishingly bizarre story tailor-made for fans of cult cinema.
