Satan is that friend that will be with you till the bitter end, at least if you’d only let him in. While traditionally it was very hard to earn the Dark Lord’s favor, now it is easier than ever! All you have to do is wear the Satan is Your Friend shirt and drink from the Satan is Your Friend mug. It’s either that or sacrifice a virgin child, and that could get you into some serious trouble.
Who played the better vampire? You’re free to make this decision using any metric you want. If you want to judge base on strength, ability, or attractiveness then feel free to, but you’re not limited to that.

Let us know in the comment section who you think did it better and why.
From Slender Man to Satan, young pre-teen girls seem to seek out a mysterious evil presence, but why?
Do young girls do this because they think it’s cool? Perhaps, but in the right circumstance. It would take a certain situation with people already warm to the idea of Satanism and fringe things to influence another.
Do these girls have deep seeded emotional issues? Seems likely. I don’t think many would argue otherwise, but many may disagree on how these deep seeded issues manifest. Are there unresolved daddy issues? One could think that as these girls tend to look for a strong “evil” male presence. Could there be unresolved mommy issues? That is another possibility. Perhaps these girls are seeking out danger to get the attention of their mother.
These questions are tough to answer, and the attempt to answer leads to arguments. You know what’s easy? Blaming movies and books. That’s a hell of a lot easier and requires no self-reflection. Society at large can blame the movies, comic books, and music for Satanic influence, but the kids have been playing with Satan and other dark figures way before any of that.
But, you know, let’s just ignore that.

One of the big things about horror, whether it be books or film, or the monster. A horror movie or a scary story seems weak when there isn’t some monster to fear. Sometimes we’re faced with something rational like a killer clown or serial killer, other times we’re presented with something paranormal like Dracula or Pazuzu.
With over hundreds upon hundreds of classic horror titles, and with new ideas popping up here and there, we have a huge and growing list of monsters.
But which one is your favorite and why?
Some might mention Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers. Others might mention Frankenstein’s monster or even the Wolf Man.
Some might even surprise and mention Jennifer Check, played by the very hot Megan Fox. Others might even mention the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Let us know what horror monster us your favorite. I share mine this Friday on the Deadman’s Tome podcast.
Hey guys, what is your favorite Dracula and why? You can choose any depiction or version of Dracula. You could even choose Nosferatu or get very technical on the type of movie Dracula.
So, which Dracula is your favorite?
Is it the Bela Lugosi version or Christopher Lee version?
Is it none of the film versions, but perhaps Dracula as depicted in Castlevania? What about Alucard in Hellsing?
Let me know in the comments section and ask others.
Now, let me shoutout to Damascus Mincemeyer. This guy is the talent behind a lot of the Deadman’s Tome covers, but he also proposed this question on Twitter.
Some of you may or may not know that I post a lot of videos on YouTube on the MrDeadmanDt channel. The channel covers news, drama, with some horror and writing trickled in. The’s not really important, though. What is important is that I recent covered a news story where a deceased man’s penis has apparently went missing?
How does that happen? How does a deceased man lose his penis?
I have no clue, but I think it would be interesting for a quick piece of flash fiction. Consider this a writing prompt challenge. Write what you think happened down below in the comments section, and it’ll be shared on a the Deadman’s Tome podcast.
Some say zombie movies are overrated and overplayed. As much as I enjoy watching brain-eaters wasted away by a barrage of gun fire, I have to admit that perhaps they’re right. But that doesn’t meant that there aren’t a few titles that standout and become our go to favorites, right?
So, I ask you, what are your favorite zombie movies and why?
