One of the hottest new trends in horror finds noted authors adapting their books to the medium of comics. Best-sellers like Stephen King, Clive Barker and Laurell K. Hamilton have all seen their work transformed into four-color fear. But the fun isn't strictly limited to household names.
The latest writer to see her scary stories get the graphic novel treatment is indie horror scribe Lia Scott Price. Known by a devoted cult following for her vampire trilogy novel, The Guardian, Revenant, and Dominion, Price has recently jumped to the realm of comic books with a series called Vampire Guardian Angels™.
Like the best horror, Price's work takes a fresh look at a familiar topic. But what sets her writing apart is its use of a universally beloved, sacred symbol as a jumping off point for terror.
"I turned our everyday guardian angels into vicious vampires," Price told me recently. "In the series, »

[rating 4.5]
(Warning: significant spoilers follow)
Well, you knew it was only a matter of time before Star Trek got mentioned on this show. I wasn’t at all surprised to hear the series get a shout-out, but I was somewhat surprised at the context and who was behind it.
Let’s start, though, by talking about Lane (Jared Harris). It seems Inland Revenue wants a cut of the money he’s been making overseas; a cut to the tune of about 2,900 pounds. Lane doesn’t have this kind of scratch lying about the house, so he has to think of a plan.
First we see him extending the firm’s line of credit and then telling everyone at the board meeting that they can use that as a Christmas bonus. Problem solved, except that Burt (Robert Morse) wants to hold off until the office Christmas party. Lane tries to object, but »

Game of Thrones actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is set to co-star alongside Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Andrea Riseborough, and Olga Kurylenko in the upcoming Joseph Kosinski-directed film Oblivion.
The movie is based on an original idea that Kosinski (Tron: Legacy) made into a graphic novel. In the film Cruise will play a soldier who’s stuck alone on a planet, repairing the drones that patrol and destroy a savage alien life form. He encounters a beautiful woman who crashes in a craft, and their experience together forces him to question his world view. According to Deadline, "Coster-Waldau will play Sykes, a battle-hardened, physically imposing, intelligent and extremely athletic military technology and weapons expert."
I loved what Kosinski did with the world of Tron, and I'm excited to see what he ends up doing with this film concept. It definitely has a very epic setting, and it sounds pretty ambitious. I »

When Ben P and I first got to The Sundance Film Festival, I wasn't really sure what this year was going to hold for us. It got off to a slow start as far as movies go, but as time went on it got better and better. By the time it was over, I was incredibly happy with how my Sundance 2012 experience turned out. Unlike Sundance Film Festivals of the past I think there were more good films than bad this year. Usually I find the bad outweigh the good, but there was only one movie I absolutely loathed this year, and that was Sean Penn's This Must Be The Place.
This year I saw a total of 27 movies, and out of those I've chosen my ten favorite movies from Sundance 2012. I believe these are all worth seeing when and if they are released. Just keep a look out for them, »
