  1. In this fanged episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick talks Dracula with the world's foremost authority and author of the academic book, Bram Stoker's Notes from Dracula: A Facsimile Edition, Robert Eighteen-Bisang. He then reviews Blood Wars and does a top five non-vampire vampire films list before DW suffers through a review of Countdown Vampires for the PlayStation. Desmond caps it all off with the most vehement and venom-filled review yet when he "discusses" the Halloween issue of Revolver Magazine. Tunes included: "Dracula's Tango" by Zombina and the Skeletones, "Fresh Blood" by Alice Cooper, "Drain the Blood" by The Distillers, "Bloodhsot" by Ghoultown, "Bloodrocuted" by Dethklok and "The Box" by Snot.

  2. As important as the main character is, any Superman project is (generally speaking) only as good as its supporting cast. The first Superman film is an exception to this; Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman shoulder the full weight of that movie despite a rather lackluster cast. Otherwise, you can usually point to the supporting players as a major factor in any success a Superman show has. Lois and Clark had arguably the best Lex Luthor in John Shea, and probably the best Lois Lane (certainly the best live-action Lois) in Teri Hatcher. The Animated Series got amazing performances out of Dana Delany. Smallville fans routinely point to Michael Rosenbaum and Allison Mack. Superman Returns had... um... well... Sam Worthington made a decent Jimmy Olsen, despite having nothing to do, and James Marsden made the most of a thankless role. Adventures of Superman, however, has them all beat.

  3. In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick interviews writer, director and star of the new backwoods cannibal film, Scarce from Anchor Bay. Then he reviews Scarce before DW comes back to review Rule of Rose for the PlayStation 2. Desmond finishes it all off with a review of the recently released hardcover from IDW, Locke and Key: Welcome to Lovecraft. Tunes include: "Frozen Brains Tell no Tales" by Buckethead, "Roses" by Silverchair, "Fear is the Key" by Iron Maiden and "Insanity" by Oingo Boingo. [ 1:13:13 || 33.5 MB ]

  4. Created in 1951, although it wouldn't air until the following year, Adventures of Superman was the first of its kind. While not the first actor to put on the costume, George Reeves, a former player in Gone with the Wind, was Superman in the mind of millions of baby boomers who watched him smile his way through scheme after scheme, gangster after gangster, rescuing Lois and Jimmy along the way. The man personifies Curt Swan's Superman to an extent that borders on frightening.

  5. In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick gets heretical on ya and reviews two very different nunsploitation films: Nympha and Last House on the Beach. The animals attack novella Changing of Faces by Tim Lebbon is reviewed, along with Monster-Size Hulk #1 from Marvel Comics. DW returns with an edition of Brainscan reviewing Zombie Revenge for the Dreamcast. Before leaving, Desmond also regales you with his top three Halloween moments in his lifetime. Tunes include: "Kiss the Feet of the Nuns" by Bible Launcher, "Funland at the Beach" by Dead Kennedys, "Human Animal" by Biohazard, "Monsters Keep Me Company" by Lordi and "Halloween 1963" and "The Shape Stalks Laurie" by John Carpenter.

  6. Cave Story is a strange little game. It took Pixel (the young Japanese developer who created it) over five years to finish. At first glance, someone might question why, considering it's an 8-bit platformer reminiscent of the early Metroid and Castlevania days. But it doesn't take long to see just how much polish has gone into every detail of Cave Story. Despite being available for close to four years, it's taken me until now to finally see why this little freeware title has been receiving so much fanfare. But even after waiting as long as I did, I'm still amazed at how well-designed this game is.

  7. In this episode of Dread Media, DW has disposed of Desmond Reddick and taken the reins of the show for the week. In his endless onslaught of Dubs-ery, he reviews the first issues of Epilogue and Crossed, as well as the trade paperback Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash. He then extensively reviews Slipknot's newest album All Hope is Gone before moving on to the most epic Brainscan yet: The History of Survival Horror. Tunes include: "Final Destination" by Within Temptation, "Beginning of the End" by Spineshank, "Till We Die" by Slipknot, "ORT" by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, "I Want Love" by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Melissa Williamson and "Dead Memories" by Slipknot.
