Bed, Baphomet, & Beyond

     This week a pair of trips to cities of night. 

     Aaron Boone dreams of Midian, a city of monsters. Boone's psychotherapist, Dr. Decker, has a hobby he wants Boone to take credit for. Soon both men will seek out Midian and its secrets for very different reasons. Will Boone be able to lead them to a safer future or will Decker see them all destroyed? Clive Barker's second directorial feature and cult favorite with nearly as many edits as Blade Runner, Nightbreed.
     Dylan Dog was the go-to for justice among the supernatural set until his wife was murdered and he took revenge against the vampires he believed responsible. Retiring to normal human PI work, Dylan is drawn back into the nocturnal when a werewolf murders an antiquities dealer for a mystical cross that summons an unstoppable demon. Can Dylan get his groove back before its too late? Very loosely based on the Italian fumetto that has been a huge inspiration to the horror genre globally for decades, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night.
     All that and Dave means Nightmare Man, Tyler gets his tv on, and Kevin vanishes under a postal delivery. Join us, won't you?

More Sweets to the Sweet

    This week RotP hopes to catch a ride on the new release hypetrain with a look back at the original Candyman sequels.

     Four years after the first film, a New Orleans schoolteacher finds herself getting the attention of Candyman. Eventually a secret of her origin that connect her to Candyman will be revealed. Can the teacher stay alive through Ash Wednesday or will she agree to be his victim and say Farewell to the Flesh?
     Twenty-five years after his last appearance Candyman appears during The Day of the Dead in LA and targets a gallery owner who just happens to be a direct descendant of our hook-handed legend AND the reincarnation of his daughter... they could have thought up a better subtitle than Day of the Dead.
     All that and Tyler speaks more than he's ever spoken, Dave is hogtied and gagged in a closet somewhere, and Kevin likes to watch. Join us, won't you?
