As summer winds down, my mind goes back to the last time the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. It was 100 years ago this year!! The team history reads like a horror story complete with curses, strange animal behavior and just a lot of bad luck. So, I thought to myself, "Why not show a horror movie involving baseball?"
Well, I couldn't find one, but I did find a Vincent Price film, whose title conjures up images of the game. I'm talking about, "The Bat," which you can watch in The Lab!
Are you ready for a BAT that would not be welcome on the ball field? Heck are you ready for a BAT that wouldn't be welcome anywhere....except on your model shelf. The Mad Skotzman built one and you can see it in the CreatureScape Pit!
One of TV's hottest shows for the past several season is "Battlestar Galactica!" One of the more interesting characters on the show is Romo Lampkin, who is played by veteran actor mark Sheppard.
