From Disney's Cinderella and Peter Pan to The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show to The Smurfs to The Powerpuff Girls, almost any cartoon you grew up … Continue reading Remembering June Foray
Greetings and salutations, dear fiends, and happy Monster Monday! The blog took a little vacation last week, but I'm back and I have a treat for you: a classic Twilight Zone monster from what is probably the most iconic episode of the series. I am a huge Twilight Zone fan. (Rest in Peace, Twilight Zone … Continue reading Monster Monday: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
