Sneak Peek: iZombie

Posted on February 20, 2015 by The Elder Fox Sister

There are a host of theories as to why the appeal of zombie fiction continues to grow. Whatever the underlying psychological implications, we have high hopes for the CW’s new show iZombie, beginning on March 17.

Based on the short-run DC/Vertigo comic iZOMBIE (or I, Zombie, depending on whom you ask), iZombie the TV show has some good things going for it. Besides its basis in a great comic by writer Chris Roberson and artist extraordinaire Michael Allred, the show is being helmed by writer/producer Rob Thomas. (We are fans of Thomas’s previous productions Veronica Mars and Party Down.) Continue reading →

3 Supernatural Web Series that Will Leave You Laughing

Posted on January 27, 2015 by The Supernatural Fox Sisters

Unless you live in a internet-free zone, you are probably familiar with the ‘web series’ format of storytelling. There are lots of great web series out there, but we have a special place in our hearts for supernatural web series, especially if they are funny. It’s such a great medium, we wanted to share some of the best supernatural web series we have seen of late. The proliferation of web series on the internet has brought amazing writers, actors, and filmmakers to the tiny screen to showcase their talents. Some get their start on the web, while others take to cyberspace later in their careers when they realize what a relevant and exciting platform it is. The web series approach is a great vehicle for comic series in particular. We love nothing more than a comedy series with a paranormal theme. Check out these three hilarious web series about the supernatural. Continue reading →

Conventions showcasing TV shows, comic books, movies, anime, literature, games, and other media are becoming increasingly popular. There are all kinds of conventions out there, some of which may end up on your bucket list. Conventions provide fans with insider knowledge, behind-the-scenes access to creative talent, and connections with other fans. Conventions such as San Diego’s Comic-Con have become fairly mainstream since Comic-Con started out as a comic book convention in 1970 and Star Trek fans organized their own first convention in 1972. Creation Entertainment, which organizes conventions for Supernatural as well as Star Trek, Stargate, Xena: Warrior Princess, The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, and others, was founded in 1971. Creation held its first “Salute to Supernatural” in Chicago in 2007.

Kitsune: A Short Film about a Boy and a Fox

Posted on January 12, 2015 by The Supernatural Fox Sisters

Kitsune is the first short film in a new series, Collisions Project, by Benedict Sanderson. A collision is described as “an event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other for a relatively short time.” The first of these microshorts, Kitsune, stars Sagar Radia and a very compelling fox who has a brief, but meaningful, interaction with the young man. Kitsune are similar to wild foxes, except for their supernatural powers. Keep an eye for more microshorts from the Collisions Project at vimeo. Kitsune shows how just how significant just a few moments can be in a person’s life.
