Issue #2 of the sci-fi horror series The Wake releases on June 26th from writer Scott Snyder and artist Sean Murphy. We recently had a chance to talk with the duo about the upcoming release and why horror fans will want to pick it up.

Amanda Dyar: Hello, guys. Thank you for taking the time to talk with us today. First off, could I have you both introduce yourselves and just tell our readers a little bit about yourselves.

Scott Snyder: I write comics mostly for DC. In terms of horror comics, I write two series. One is American Vampire I started a few years ago about a new breed of vampires that is born in the American West in the 1980s that has totally different etiology than the Dracula species that we all know. The series I am going to talk about today is brand-new called The Wake,...

Battlestar Galactica alum Aaron Douglas (One Angry Juror, Hellcats), who played Chief Tyrol (pictured above left), will do a guest spot on SyFy’s hit series Eureka. No details on his role as of yet, but Douglas is in discussions with a producer for Eureka. The show returns early next year.

Another exciting bit of casting news is that Christine Willes (Red Riding Hood, Reaper) who most memorably played Delores “Her Big Brown Eyes” Herbig in Bryan Fuller’s Dead Like Me (as pictured above right), will be guest starring on the CW’s Smallville as Granny Goodness. Look for Willes in the eighth episode, entitled “Abandoned”, of this tenth and final season of the show.

“Abandoned” will also be the episode that Lindsay Hartley (yes, Justin Hartley’s real life wife) guest stars as Harriett, one of Granny Goodness’ minions. Presumably, Harriet would be Mad Harriet, one of the Female Furies,...

Walter Pidgeon, Greer Garson in William Wyler‘s Mrs. Miniver I mentioned dignified, gentlemanly, and usually a little dull Walter Pidgeon the other day, wishing he had been cast as Jane Powell‘s grandfather in A Date with Judy (1948) so he could (more or less) have dated Carmen Miranda on-screen. Had that happened, you could forget Greer Garson — and Tracy-Hepburn, Ladd-Lake, Loy-Powell, Flynn-de Havilland, Garbo-Gilbert, and Abbott-Costello. Pidgeon-Miranda would have been the movie couple for all time. No such luck, unfortunately. But Walter Pidgeon fans, nonfans, and those who don’t know Pidgeon from Adam can check him out on Thursday on Turner Classic Movies. Thirteen Pidgeon films will be presented as part of TCM’s “Summer Under the Stars” series, though nothing "new," like, say, A Most Immoral Lady (in case it still exists), Big Brown Eyes, or Sextette. [Walter Pidgeon schedule.] But there’ll always be Greer Garson, with whom Pidgeon...
