Pontyvale Golf Club’s post-Christmas reopening hasn’t gone well thanks to some grisly killings… The site has been closed off, and Torchwood’s Captain Jack, Gwen and Ianto investigate. But they soon come face to face with the cause of the killings – and it’s not pretty!
It’s an all new Torchwood comic and you can read it online right now at Watch! The comic is part of Alien Invasion Week on the UK network and that means good stuff for all (even us Yanks in the US.) My favorite goodie is a quick interview with John Barrowman where he giggles his way …read more

An interview with Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles
For nine months of the year, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are possessed by supernatural entities.

“It reaches the limits of one’s patience with Grade D fodder. This show is designed to scare an audience too old for Godzilla but too unsophisticated for Twilight Zone. That is obviously too big of an order for such a silly series.”
What classic scifi show do you think this Time magazine reviewer was referring to? You’ll find the answer when you read Mark Phillips’ blog covering what the critics had to say about early scifi TV.
Mark and I “met” virtually when we both began pitching stories about Irwin Allen’s TV shows to magazines such as Starlog in the early 90’s. …read more

B5’s own Screamstress (aka Alison Nastasi) has an exclusive interview with Ghost Hunters International star Barry Fitzgerald. They talk about his new book The Complete Approach, the dark side of the paranormal and the most disturbing case he’s ever investigated.
Says Fitzgerald of his encounter with a ghostly child, “I believed she knew who it was and we needed her to give us the name of the killer. I asked a leading UK EVP specialist to help and low and behold she gave us a name, but the reluctance of the police force stopped any further development and all our investigations …read more

Me thinks she may have found it. Allison Scagliotti joins the cast of the new Syfy series and she sat down with me to talk about it.

Allison: Claudia’s a complex chiquita. She’s smart and sassy and kind of a child prodigy with IT.  She was orphaned at a young age with her brother and twelve years ago …read more
