You guys know I love horror, when Scream came out I was all over it. When I heard that the Scream Series was being re-imagined for TV by MTV, I had my doubts. Then I saw the first 8 minute preview that was released. Now I think I am in. I am totally looking for new shows, and horror shows that my wife can watch too appeals to me (she hates horror but digs The Walking Dead, Strain, and American Horror Stories.) The show premiered at 8 PM East Coast and will reair at 10 PM and then again at 11:07 PM eastern time. Check out the first 8 minutes after the jump:

I took a much-needed vacation last week so forgive me for playing catch up. Before we get serious a quick side note. So we had Bush and Clinton running for the White House, Jurassic World is #1 in theaters and Terminator is out next month. You would think it’s 1992 all over again. There is only one thing missing, Furbys! (Yes, I know they are ’98) That’s right; Furbys are back and in demand just like back in the day. Now add the Internet and they are all kinds of creepy. I didn’t take everyone serious last July when people were telling me to stock up for Holidays. I have kids of my own and we aren’t going to make that mistake twice.

Ok, so I spent about 5 hours hiking in the mountains of Utah early this morning and getting all Smokey the Bear on some campers in a national forest. My wife then filled me up with peanut butter pancakes and maple syrup and I made my way to the Michael Moreci and Phillip Sevy signing at Black Cat Comics’ 11th Anniversary Party. So, let’s move on to that part of the day because I bet you want to read about comics, huh!? Continue reading “Transference #1 Black Cat Comics Variant Signing Wrap up and giveaway announcement”
