‘Hellraiser’ still has plenty of (Ceno)bite in 11th entry
‘Kolchak’ files ‘Lovecraftian Horror’ (2007) for publication too quickly
‘Kolchak’ flashback (Graphic novel review): Writer C.J. Henderson and artist Jaime Calderon collaborate on a solid but typo-filled slice of monster-noir.

Flanagan goes YA for ‘Midnight Club,’ but never fear – it’s still good
TV review: The switch to young-adult source material doesn’t mean Mike Flanagan’s high bar has been lowered. This is another artistic mix of heart and horror.
‘Omen’ (2006) may not be necessary, but it’s great
Six weeks of ‘The Omen’ (Movie review): Director John Moore pulls off a neat trick of respecting the original narrative while adding his own style.
T&T still have game in ‘By the Pricking of My Thumbs’ (1968)
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): Agatha Christie returns to the spousal sleuths after a 27-year hiatus, and she hasn’t forgotten how to write them.
Devil menaces next gen in ‘Omen IV: The Awakening’ (1991)
Six weeks of ‘The Omen’ (Movie review): Damien is dead, but oddly, the franchise isn’t. It continues with this repetitive and unnecessary TV movie.
‘Alaska Daily’ puts spotlight on modern investigative reporting
First episode impressions (TV review): “Spotlight” was a thank-you letter to probing journalism; now “Alaska Daily” shows why it’s still important.

Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): Widely regarded as one of Christie’s best novels, it deserves more credit as a progenitor of slasher horror.
Another lost TV episode found in ‘Kolchak’ Volume 3
‘Kolchak’ flashback (Comic book review): Moonstone effectively resurrects “Eve of Terror,” but the new story “Lambs to the Slaughter” isn’t as strong.
