For his final feature, Shock starring horror icon Daria Nicolodi (Deep Red), he eschewed the grand […]
2022 looks set to be another huge year for AEW. 2021 provided their biggest signings ever in Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson and CM Punk, while also concluding its longest and best storyline with Hangman Page finally becoming World Champion. It will be hard to top that but AEW does have some fantastic young talent to […]
During the 1970s the Shaw Brothers Studio in Hong Kong produced some of the most iconic action films ever made, revolutionising the genre through the backbreaking work of top-shelf talent. The new Limited Edition Blu-ray box set from Arrow Video presents twelve jewels from the Shaw crown, all released within the 1970s – here’s a […]
In the 1970s and 1980s, shopping malls were popping up all over America, and it was only a matter of time before they became a favoured setting for horror films – where better to plunge a knife into the heart of American consumerism and idyllic suburban life? It wasn’t long before malls in the movies […]
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything for Nerdly. I stopped writing the reviews because I became a jerk. Now, I have to give credit to these wrestling promotions for giving me enough to be upset about. How can so many of these promotions book so many promos and nonsense? Have they ever asked […]
I want to open this week by reporting on the recent success of my Hero Initiative Auction on eBay. First off I want to thank the four buyers who made it possible to make a £20 donation and from a personal point of view they all left positive reviews to add to my growing seller […]

This week I bring you the battle to end all battles. The most talked about confrontation in all of comics mythology. Two behemoths are ready to collide.

If you think Chucky from Child’s Play and Annabelle are scary – well, it’s time you met their Italian predecessors, a pair of very creepy dolls that play key roles in the classic giallo Deep Red, from Dario Argento, the maestro of the macabre.

“IN THEIR WORLD, ADULTS ARE NOT ALLOWED… TO LIVE.” So runs the chilling tagline for the 1984 cult classic horror Children of the Corn, based on the short story by horror maestro Stephen King. Set in an agricultural town in Nebraska, the film tells the story of 12-year-old Isaac, a real little charmer who indoctrinates […]
I thought I would dedicate this space to taking a moment to reflect on eBuying Comics in 2021 and look towards the future. I always used to buy the summer edition of Wizard magazine as it was an entertaining indicator on how good/bad comics had been that and how much better/worse they were going to […]
Prano Bailey-Bond’s début feature film Censor has received nothing but praise since its recent showings across genre movie festivals around the world and it’s theatre release in America.
