Genre classifications tend to fall apart the further we look back in time. That’s why nearly all the original versions of classic fairy tales contain at least one bizarrely horrific element or another. From the Evil Queen’s cannibalistic intentions in Snow White to the Big Bad Wolf successfully devouring both granny and Little Red Riding

It’s not much, but a leaked image from the fourth BioShock game has made its way online, courtesy of gaming website MP1ST.

It’s a no-brainer that the battle in the early 90s arcade fighting game scene was between Capcom’s Street Fighter II and Midway’s Mortal Kombat. Lost in the shuffle with the other fighting games vying for players’ attention was another Capcom fighter in Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (or Vampire: The Night Warriors, for you Japanese players).

Oh, balls. After concluding June with discussions of the wacky space antics (and commando drag queens) of Leprechaun 4: In Space (listen) and the underseen-but-very-good trans vampire film Bit (listen), we’re heading into grindhouse cinema with Robert Rodriguez‘s first half of the Grindhouse double-bill: Planet Terror (2007)!
