Yesterday would have been my dad's 70th birthday had he not passed away in 96 at the young age of 41. Not a day goes by that I don't miss him.

Gonna play all of the Castlevania game boy games tonight. I personally love every one of them.

I love this film, though it may not be scary by today's standards, it still has a Gothic atmosphere that can't be beat.

Creepy is an awesome horror comic magazine, it started in the 60's and lasted till the mid 80's. During the height of the comics code it was able to maneuver around the code by classifying itself as a magazine rather than as a comic book. How many of you have read it?

I love the Castlevania GBA games, however this one is my absolute favorite.

One of my favorite crossovers. After the initial events at Genosha, several prominent mutants and heroes are held hostage. Captain America and the Avengers defy SHIELD in order to help Professor Xavier rescue the hostages, as Captain America is sickened by the Avengers lack of action previously.

For those of you who love action and horror, or if you're simply a Death Watch fan, head over to hardincomics.com and pick up a copy of Death Watch #1.

This series was both hilarious and Gothic. How many of you have watched Count Duckula?

Captain Harlock is one of my favorite anti-heroes, he doesn't do what he does because he expects anything, he does it because it's the right thing to do. How many of you have read the Manga's or have seen the anime's?

Both Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley are my inspirations when it comes to novel writing. The way they did first person narrative had a tremendous impact on the way I myself write.

Jason has gone through many iterations. Which is your favorite: Human Jason (Friday the 13 I through IV, reboot) Zombie Jason (Friday the 13th VI through Jason goes to hell, Freddy vs. Jason) Cyborg Jason (Jason X)

American Vampire is one of the best vampire stories in comics, I highly recommend it.

Chris Claremont is the writer who made me want to get into the comic industry.

Out of all the remakes of the original Castlevania, Castlevania Chronicles is my favorite.

An awesome Samurai manga from the same people that gave you Lone Wolf and Cub.

Another one of the best Samurai films ever made, it tells the story of a Samurai who's son is forced to commit ritual suicide, leaving his wife and child to die in poverty. The father then takes revenge for the sake of his son.

I love Marc Silvestri's work, Cyber Force is still among my favorite early Image releases.

This was not only a really fun game, it also had a killer 8 bit soundtrack.

Hey, if a cenobite can smile, so can you. 😁

I should play some Castlevania bloodlines tonight, I just love the synthesized organ music in this game.

I love the original Super Mario games, however I've always liked the 16 bit versions that they released for the Snes the best.

This is a Batman story I grew up with, it changed the foundations of Batman for a time. Batman is replaced not by any of the Robins he trained but by an ex assassin named Jean Paul Valley aka Azreal.

I love this game, but like all games in the series, it's hard as hell.
Avatar
I've been loving the latest Conan comic book series and I would like to give a shout out to the artist Roberto De La Torre, who's work to me is the best since John Buscema.

This was the final Hammer Dracula film, Christopher Lee had left by now, so in order to get people to watch they brought back Peter Cushing and also collaborated with the Shaw Brothers in order to appeal to the Kung Fu fan base.

Another great Marvel horror title in the 70's was "The Frankenstein Monster". Marvel had a ton of hit horror comics featuring the classic golden age monsters. How many of you have read this title?
Avatar
Time to play some Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, which many of you know by now is my favorite Castlevania game.
Avatar
This is a great story which works on the premise "What if Peter Parker aged in real time?" It starts in the 60's and works it's way to the modern era, all the while Spider-man keeps getting older, with all of the hardships that come with that.

These were very fun but extremely hard games. How many of you have played the Battletoads games?
