One of the most impressive science fiction related websites out there is SFCrowsnest, the brainchild of cyber-punk author Stephen Hunt (who has been involved in web publishing since its early days).

Here's a treat for Harryhausen fans which The Monster stumbled across - a book entitled 'Ray Harryhausen: An Animated Life'. 304 pages of Harryhausen's words, photos and sketches, detailing his career.

The Monster is very excited about the prospect of a remake of Univeral's 'The Wolf Man'.

The podcasting phenomenon has really hit its stride over the past year, and the number of horror and sci-fi related podcasts can be quite bewildering for the uninitiated, or indeed anyone trying to keep up with what's out there. So The Monster thought it would be a good idea to begin sharing some recommendations with you all.

Happy Halloween, dear readers! The Monster hopes you had a monstrously good night, full of nightmarish visions and uneasy dread. And sweets.
