Octobooo Spooktackular 2023: Fright Night (1985/2011) & More

Linus [writing to the Great Pumpkin]: "You must get discouraged because more people believe in Santa Claus than you. Well, let's face it; Santa Claus has had more publicity, but being number two, perhaps you try harder."

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)

In an attempt to affirm Linus' proclamation, we at TBC_afp are diving into cult classic for the season. We are talking about both versions of Fright Night for a compare and contrast. Also in this episode #rip #SuzanneSomers #KeithGiffen #sagaftra2023

Doctor Strange and The Multiverse of Madness (Spoiler Review)

By The Book of Vishanti! The Marvel Cinematic Universe has delivered one of it's most ambitious projects to date with Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness directed by Marvel movie pioneer and cult horror filmmaker, Sam Raimi. The film, neverthess, is a direct follow up from both Spider-Man No Way Home and Disney Plus' WandaVision, thrusting Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlett Witch as Doctor Stephen Strange's antogonist. Strange of course is as always masterfully portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch, returning to fulfill his franchise duties but this time carrying the weight of the MCU's phase on his shoulders. Certainly a tall order for the Veteran Brit actor extraordinaire. But how do the fanboys of TBC_afc really feel about this wacky comicbook adventure brought to screen?
