The Gargyle Presents: The Monster Pod - From Beyond review
What do you get when you turn a 7 page H. P. Lovecraft story into an 86 minute movie?? You get From Beyond, an insane slice of 1986 sci-fi horror!! Starring Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, the second feature length film from Stuart Gordon might not be as well-known in the mainstream as Re-Animator, but that doesn't mean that it is any less fun to watch in all of horror ridiculousness!! As usual, it should be noted that this is more of an in-depth discussion of the film and not necessarily just a "review." There are some major spoilers throughout the second section of the podcast. So, if you have not yet seen From Beyond, go watch it first and then come back to get our take on it!

The Gargyle Presents: The Monster Pod - Trollhunter review
If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise. If you go down to the woods today, you'd better go in disguise! For every troll that ever there was will gather there for certain, because today's the day the trolls have their picnic - (modification of "Teddy Bear's Picnic" by Anne Murray). Ok, so there aren't any picnics, but that isn't entirely too far off and I think it actually kinda works for describing Trollhunter, a Norwegian found-footage movie about a group of college kids that think they are filming a documentary about bear attacks, but end up chasing a much different, and much more threatening, monster. As usual, it should be noted that this is more of an in-depth discussion of the film and not necessarily just a "review." There are some major spoilers throughout the second section of the podcast. So, if you have not yet seen Trollhunter, go watch it first and then come back to get our take on it!

The Gargyle Podcast - Refinery Surveyor Black review

The Gargyle Presents: The Monster Pod - Manhunter review
Before Anthony Hopkins immortalized the role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs, and before Ralph Fiennes summoned his inner dragon as Francis Dolarhyde in Red Dragon, there was Brian Cox and Tom Noonan in Manhunter. With the stylistic touch of director Michael Mann, this 80s horror classic was more subtle in its approach than the Hannibal films that followed, which lent itself to a realism that intensified the horror of an unknown serial killer. After all, not all monster movies have to be about creatures, demons, or aliens. Sometimes, the "monster" hidden just under the surface of someone can be equally as terrifying as any other-worldly creature. As usual, it should be noted that this is more of an in-depth dissection of the film and not necessarily just a "review." There are some major spoilers throughout the second section of the podcast. So, if you haven't seen Manhunter, go watch it first an

ep29: The Gargyle Podcast - The Gargyle at Cleveland Geekster 2016
A couple weeks ago, I went to the Cleveland Geekster, a local Toy and Comic show put on by my friends Ashley Raburn, Rob Alderman, and Ryan Faricelli. It’s a really great show and an awesome place to pick up toys and comics, both recent and vintage. This year, while the Missus was vending some of her crochet work, I spent the majority of the time talking horror with guests and vendors. So, while I have obviously not been successful in getting out a daily horror review for Halloween Movie Month, I am still trying to do my best to bring you as much horror coverage as I can this month! So, at the Cleveland Geekster, I went around asking people: What is your favorite horror movie? What makes for a good horror movie? Who is your favorite monster? What scares you? What horror crossover would you like to see? Do you have any Halloween traditions? They all had a lot to say about horror and I had a blast talking to each of them, so hopefully you en
