When Attacked By Bioweapons, Remember to Take Off Your Shirt [NSFW]

Like many B-movies, Organizm has the astonishing ability to make random scenes of nudity pop up even during monster attacks. Plus, why is our hero coating our heroine’s naked body in his own blood? Actually there’s a good answer to that second question. Here’s the deal. There’s a secret facility with a locked room and…

Nothing like a little recreational spine-severing, Syphillis-engineering, and more hints about a secret underground science society known as ZFT. That’s why last night’s Fringe made us feel all grody-happy inside. Spoilers! Fringe is scoring well on the tightly-plotted-o-meter – last week’s episode, authored by Akiva “I, Robot” Goldsman, was scary and awesome. And this week’s…

Original Gremlin Director Hints At Gremlins 3

The original Gremlin wrangler, Joe Dante, seems to firmly believe the Gremlins movie franchise will be back, with or without his involvement. Bloody Disgusting interviewed Gremlins director Joe Dante, who was pretty convinced there would be a third film, and that he would have no part in it. I find it hard to believe that…

Classic Science Fiction Book Covers from Penguin, Through the Ages

Penguin has been publishing high-quality paperbacks of classic science fiction since the late 1950s. As times change, you can see how the book covers move from stately red and black (above) to crazed psychedelia (below).
