Typical summer activities generally include outdoor BBQs, trips to the beach, and taking dips in swimming pools, but Godzilla fans may choose to stay indoors this summer thanks to COMET’s “Monster Summer” event! Beginning May 27, COMET will be airing a double-header of classic monster movies every Sunday throughout the summer, with the first film each night featuring your favorite giant lizard and the second starring some lesser-known beasts. The Godzilla films featured ru

As the holidays creep up on us like a vampire in the night, we may be getting a sense of dread. No, not from the monsters that lurk in the night but the pounds we begin to pack on as Halloween candy fills our bowls, Thanksgiving pies are baked and holiday candies are made – all the while being trapped indoors, attempting to stay clear of the cold fall and winter air. This year, however, you don’t have to worry because we have another diet that you can use and this time it’s e

It’s time for another Fluff Piece Friday. In case you’re new to this, the fluff piece is about animals that are sometimes featured in horror, and that deserve a little love as well. This week we are going to talk about wolves. When we hear the word wolf, some people think of majestic animals howling toward the moon, others see them as blood thirsty pests. Both of these can be true, but I like to think of them as animals who are trying to scrape out a life in the wilderness wh

This week milk will kill you and wine is good for you; next week the dink of the vine will be poison, but the juice of the bovine will be the elixir of life. When it comes to health it’s hard to keep up with the latest craze will be, but there is one thing though that after all these years is still good for you and that is horror. So pull up a bucket o’ scares and let me talk to you about the latest science! When we watch a scary movie it can releases stress hormones and when

It’s my Friday fluffy piece and today I want to share something about bats. When it comes to Gothic horror, spooky scenes, and Halloween decorations bats are a staple, flapping through the night. But, aside from the more infamous Vampires bats that lap up the blood of their victims or the adorable fruit bats, how much do we know about these denizens of the night sky? It seems that there is still a lot more to learn about theses mammals and researchers from Johns Hopkins have

Horror fans often see the word “bloodcurdling” when describing a new story, film or experience. The idea that we’ll be so scared that the blood will turn into a sanguine cottage cheese, can be a deterrent for some or a welcome sign for others. But, is the term just a description of that tingling feeling we get when the tension rises and we know the monster is lurking or does the blood actually thicken? In a small study, published by the BMJ, 24 victims…er volunteers were ask
