The Monkey’s Paw debuts on Chiller tonight at 9p and there is a reason why the network’s slogan is “Scary Good”. I sincerely don’t know the last time I saw a horror movie that terrified me as much as this one. The death scenes are so scary good that I am not sure how I am going to sleep tonight.
Jake Tilton (C.J. Thomason) is struggling to make ends meet; so when he is given a monkey’s paw that will grant him three wishes, he accepts it. Not believing in the power of it, he wishes for a car that is sitting outside. When he goes to look at the car, he sees the keys inside and takes it for a ride. While driving around with his BFF, Tony Cobb (Stephen Lang), he sees a alligator in the road and swerves to hit it. He winds up hitting a tree and killing Tony, who went through the windshield. He decides to use the paw to bring back his best friend, but Tony is not the same. Tony came back to life, but his soul didn’t return. So now he is going on a murderous rampage and there is no way to stop him. Will Jake find a solution to his problem before it is too late or will the Monkey’s Paw win this fight?
You will just have to tune in for a movie that is as much horrifying as it is thrilling.

Being Human and Bitten will make you howl at the moon! |

Being Human is back on Syfy tonight at 9p after last year’s season finale and it’s just as intense as that last episode. Sally (Meaghan Rath) is trapped in a different dimension with Donna and she has no way out. Josh (Sam Huntington) is trapped by his wolf and all he wants to do is die to end the curse. Aiden (Sam Witwer) and Nora (Kristen Hager) have been living in the woods to help Josh keep his humanity, but with each day that passes it is getting harder and harder to do.
Eventually Sally will be reunited with her friends, and she thinks she can help Josh. But can she really? Aiden will be reunited with someone from his past, and that person will change everything and is hiding a secret from him that could destroy him. Nora just wants her husband back, but she should be careful what she wishes for because you can’t always get you want.
I had no idea where Being Human was going to go after the season finale and i really love what they are doing with the new season in the 2 episodes that I have seen thus far. This show really keeps you guessing and that is what I love most about it.
Then at 10p, Bitten takes a huge bite of the Syfy lineup and you will be smitten with bitten.
Elena Michaels (Laura Vandervoort), seems to have everything. She is a talented photographer with a gorgeous boyfriend, but there is a secret she hasn’t told him. She is a werewolf and as much as she tries to suppress it, it keeps coming to surface and risking everything in her life.
She is the only female werewolf because women normally are not strong enough to survive being bitten. Up until about a year ago she lived with other werewolves. When they made her do something that took what little of her humanity away is left, she walked away from them and moved to the city.
But when one of her kind starts killing humans, she is called home. Now she has to lie to everyone from her new life to go back to her old one.
How long will she be able to do that? Which life will she choose? We will have to tune each week for a show that does for werewolves what The Vampire Diaries does for Vampires and makes them enjoyable to watch again.
BTW if you think about Laura Vandervoort is living a Sci-Fi person’s dream. She’s played Supergirl, an alien on V and now a werewolf on Bitten, what else is there left for her do in the genre?

Richie Sambora is in the Thicke of it! |
| November 13th, 2013 under Alan and Robin Thicke, Bon Jovi, Strange Encounters, Syfy. [ Comments: none ]

Nigel Lythgoe Tweeted this picture of himself with Richie Sambora and Alan Thicke and it is one of the strangest encounters I have ever seen. So strange, I want Sambora and Bon Jovi to get over their difference ASAP and rejoin the band. Actually I just want the Jersey band to get over their Bad Medicine and reunite already because all four of them are the band, not just the three of them.

Naked Vegas uses the body as a canvas and Doomsday Preppers are prepping! |

At 10p, Syfy takes it all off for Naked Vegas and then covers it back up with paint, body paint that is! The reality show documents the company called Naked Vegas that uses body paint to dress people up. On tonight’s season premiere they put lingerie on models and dress a bride and groom up as Zombies along with their wedding party. Imagine seeing a bride wearing body paint from head to toe walking down the aisle. It is as breathtaking as you expect it to be.
So tune in for a show that is unlike anything you can watch on television. In addition, it has the word naked in the title!
A few weeks ago the Government shut down for two weeks and several Doomsday Preppers have been prepping for that exact moment. Tonight at 9p on NatGeo, you will see one guy prep for just that type of scenario. He will force his daughter to learn what to do when America suffers from a financial collapse and he will wind up injuring her. So much so, they rush her to the doctor.
Prepping can be a dangerous thing, but it can also prepare you for the unforeseeable. Another family in Alaska is preparing for a Tsunami, but a wildfire interrupts their plans. Will all their hard work be for nothing or are they prepared unlike everyone else who is in the fire’s path?
You have to watch to find out and to learn some things you can do to prep for a disaster. Let’s be real, it can happen anywhere at any time because it was a year ago that Sandy struck the Northeast.

Syfy has a Fangasm and Chicago Fire is in trouble! |

Tonight at 10p on Syfy 7 geeks move into a house and compete for an internship with Stan Lee. That position is a Fangasm for these 7 roommates and they will do what they can to get that job. As they await to find out the answer, they will do different challenges to prove how big of a fan they are as they get rewards for proving their love for all things geekdom.
Tonight they try to get people to sign a petition for a National Geek Appreciation Day, and they forget one key element. Will that hurt them? You will have to tune into find out.
Then they compete for an opportunity to have dinner with the one and only George Takei. There is one guy who is such a big fan of Star Trek that he is willing to endure a lot of pain just for the chance to meet his idol. It is mind over matter, but will matter win?
What I like most about Fangasm is they picked people you can actually like. Other shows in this genre pick at least one person with anger issues and bitter, and that makes the show less enjoyable. On this one, they all get along and work together. Because of that I sincerely enjoyed it and I know you will too. And you are going to love Andrew, he looks the nerdiest one of them all and he’s the only one with a girlfriend. With in a few minutes of getting to know him, you will see why that is the case. Not saying that the other ones deserve to be single, but you are just going to adore everything about him.
Meanwhile over at NBC, Chicago Fire is back tonight at 10p and their house might not be around for much longer. Due to city cutbacks, Firehouse 51 is on the short list to be closed down. Even though their days might be number, they will be getting some firefighters from a recently closed house. That means things are going to be tight for them, like shared lockers and no overtime. They are not happy about these changes and that will force one of them to make a decision that can totally change things for everyone.
There is something about Chicago Fire that makes this show so much different than other shows about firefighters. It just as much about the fires as it is the relationships between them and because that you find yourself tuning in every week. This is a show that will be around long time just like Dick Wolf’s other shows that never seem to go away!
