Kate Hill Intelligent, determined, courageous, cruel, and manipulative. Scorpius from Farscape was all of these things and that’s what made him a great antagonist. To me, he’s one of the best. Whenever he appeared, he stole the show. While I didn’t usually agree with his methods, once you got to know the character, it…

December 2019 – Horror Movies Watched

Recommended Holiday Horror Movie: A Cadaver Christmas #holidayhorror #zombies
Reviews and recommendations on the Compelling Beasts blog are my honest opinion. I purchase the books, comics, and movies that I recommend and review and I do not accept free copies for review. A Cadaver Christmas is a zombie–sorry, cadaver–movie set on Christmas Eve. It has weird humor and oddly likeable characters who work well…

Interview with Patrick Piper from Pied, Book 7 of the Once Upon a Villain Series
