New Mothman Movie to Air on SyFy

A Mothman movie is to air on the SyFy channel April 24th. Here’s the blurb:

Jewel Staite (Firefly, Stargate Atlantis) stars in Mothman, premiering Saturday, April 24, at 9PM (ET/PT). In the movie, the legendary West Virginia monster returns to exact revenge on five childhood friends who covered up an accidental killing. Produced by Brad Krevoy and Reuben Liber. Directed by Sheldon Wilson. Written by Sonny Lee and Patrick Walsh. Source: Sci Fi Talk Official Blog.

I hope it’ll be better than the awful Jersey Devil movie they aired a year or so ago. As much as I love Lou Diamond Phillips, the movie couldn’t transcend the enjoyable B movie vibe. I didn’t expect it to be good good, just, not… bad. Mainly it was the ending that got to me; as if all the producers and the director just gave up and tried to finish the movie off so they all go home.

Anyway, of course I’ll be watching Mothman!

Bits-N-Pieces...

post from Gummerfan's Monster Hunter HQ on 25 March 2010 07:16:46 PM. © Gummerfan's Monster Hunter HQ

Since my last few posts have been on a srious note, I thought I'd lighten up a bit today and post some trivial little tidbits.

Monster Hunter Vendetta
Larry Correia's follow-up to "Monster Hunter International" entitled "Monster Hunter Vendetta" is due for release next month. I can't wait to read this one, since I really enjoyed MHI. You can pre-order from Amazon here. Then you won't have an excuse for missing out on it!

Speaking Of Excuses
I really need a new keyboard! This one just can't keep up with my frenetic typing efforts. Double letters, skipped letters... Plus, most of the time I'm typing in the dark, hunched over in a corner of the living room. I also refuse to use spellcheck (I keep a dictionary next to me).
And lately, my internet connection has been timing out. I lost almost an entire post because I didn't notice it wasn't saving.
IOW, despite appearances, I'm not illiterate!

Behold The Power Of The Internet!
According to my latest Feedburner stats, I'm now reaching tens of people a day, so much for my delusions of grandeur!

Keeping The Glock (for now)
Having become quite a fan of the 460 Rowland caliber, I was considering giving up the Glock 20 10mm. But, since the Rowland ammo is still hard to get (I keep a running back order with different sources) I figure I should wait until I've got a decent stockpile before I commit to it exclusively. Plus, I keep tweaking and fiddling with the Glock and I've got so much tied up in it I may as well keep it.
All in all, the Glock 10mm, the Taurus and the MPA in 460 Rowland are all ideal power tools for any Monster Hunter. Any of them are sufficient for most big creepy things one is likely to encounter.

Book On The Way
I finally managed to find a good deal on Dom Calmet's "Treatise On Vampires And Revenants". I'm really eager to (forgive me for this!) sink my teeth into this one! Now if only I could find a decent price on Jan Perkowski's "Vampires Of The Slavs"!
Too bad so many members of the "Vampire" community base their research on Stoker, Rice, and Meyer, or perpetuated myths about Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth of Bathory. The original folkloric accounts are a lot scarier and more...original!
