I don’t know if it was the headline or the glasses of Big House White wine, but I got nauseous when I read about a Footloose remake.
Full Story »What the hell has Space Cowboy been up to, anyway?
or “Where the Hell are my pumpkin templates?!?” and “Why the Hell has Intergalactic Law’s update schedule become so erratic?” by John Dallaire At the beginning of October, I had great plans to come out with a geeky pumpkin template each day through Halloween. Unfortunately, real life (and trying to make a real living) got [...]
Full Story »Attack of the Horror Film Series!: The Innocents
By Rhea Dee
Turn of the Screw is one of my all time favorite novels, which is why I had a squeegasm when I saw that Film Screams would be screening The Innocents, the 1961 adaptation of the novel, starring Deborah Kerr. I never even knew there was a film version of Turn of the Screw! Sheesh, am I out of touch or what?

Or, Which of Us is Full of Ship?
By Lisa Fary
Dracula, puppets, and a parade? I’m totally there.
Full Story »Attack of the Horror Film Series!: Bride of Frankenstein
By Rhea Dee
Elsa Lanchester is my new heroine. Okay, so she was only in Bride of Frankenstein for about 3 minutes (not including her role as Mary Shelley at the beginning of the film) but her turn as the undead bride was frickin’ amazing. Made the whole movie for me, honest.
Full Story »Ask an Amateur Scientist: Citizen Obama?
By Brian Thompson
I. The Setup
Let’s get this out of the way up front. I’m voting for Barack Obama. I have many reasons, though I don’t believe I really have to go through them all with the Pink Raygun crowd. Suffice it to say, I like the idea of smart people commanding the military, I don’t like the idea of borderline lobotomized attack dogs being one heart attack away from the Oval Office, and I really want to stick it to racists.
Full Story »Teresa’s Modern Life: Slydial
Perhaps you’ve heard of it, it’s a free service where you dial the Slydial hotline, and are able to make a call to any cell phone and automatically get sent to someone’s voicemail without their phone ringing or knowing you’ve called. What could the uses possibly be for something like this?
Full Story »Prom + Zombies = Prombies!
Zombie Prom was my chance to rectify my prom dress history and finally get that Gunne Sax or Jessica McClintock dress I always wanted: poofy, floor length, hot pink, maybe with sequins or beads. Or maybe iridescent taffeta! The kind of tacky thing that, at age twelve, I imagined myself wearing at my own prom, only to be thwarted by fashion trends of the 1990s.

By Brian Thompson
I. The Setup
I used to believe all this crap, you know. I didn’t spring forth from my mother’s loins (ew…) and start saying nay all over the place. You would have heard about it if I did, because I would be the most awesome baby ever.
Full Story »Free Pumpkin Carving Template – Supernatural’s Impala
Because those crazy, rabid Supernatural fans demanded it (and really, who can blame them for being crazy and rabid about Show), Pink Raygun is proud to present our first vehicular pumpkin template. Traditionally, the type of vehicle that one might expect to be associated with a pumpkin has more to do with fairy godmothers and glass slippers than the pure bad-assery of Poppa Winchester’s transport, but not this year.

Full Story »Ask an Amateur Scientist: The Face on Mars
By Brian Thompson
I. The Setup
Just a few days ago it was reported that the Mars Phoenix Lander, that scrappy little droid that’s been roaming around the red planet’s arctic for a while now, had discovered signs of snow falling from the Martian clouds. This was good news for science, but bad news for me. If there’s enough water to accumulate in the atmosphere as snow, then there’s a good chance there is or was enough water on Mars to support some kind of organic life. But on the other hand, according to my the new Olmec/Celtic/Scientologist mega-religion I’ve created and started to practice, snow falling on Mars is a harbinger of terrible financial disaster.
