Have a nice Hallowe’en? Was the Great Pumpkin good to you? Did you grab a few treats, pull a few tricks? Watched a nice scary movie or two? Seen a few Saws? Are you ready to get back to the real world? The real world has gotten a lot scarier than anything Stephen King is…
Before "trolls" became synonymous with "online idiots," and somewhat after they were best known as fairy-tale creatures that dwelt under bridges, they were so-ugly-they’re-cute collectible dolls made by the Russ company. While they’re not as ubiquitous today as they were a couple decades back, they do still pop up around this time of year in…
Time to commence with the Halloween puns and posts, and we’ll start with something that might almost be useful: how to apply makeup in the style of Elvira. Oh, and don’t forget the wig.
I’ve already spoken about how October is my favorite time of year, what with the baseball post-season and the foliage displays and the crispness in the air and, in 2007, my imminent lifestyle change and ComicMix Phase II debuting.

Parents everywhere will no doubt be…
Some may consider it cruelty to animal companions, some the ultimate tribute. As Hallowe’en approaches once more, Good Housekeeping, of all places, considers pets dressed as Star Wars characters. Sundance here is probably my favorite: "I find your lack of cheezburger disturbing…"
