Will You Dance With My Poor Su Lynn?

Alright, Biters, I have a rather unique entry for you this time. At The Bite, we have a diverse team of professional writers, including members who can ghostwrite, published independent book authors, and legitimate journalists.

On the other hand, I am, I suppose, more what you would call a muse. That being said, Biters, I’ve been tasked with giving a glimpse into my thought process in creating one of my characters, that of Su Lynn.

Gaming late at night is one of my many hobbies, predominantly online multiplayer RPGs. With these games, as I’m sure you know, come loot boxes and microtransactions; from one of these blatant cash grabs was the humble start of my character, Su Lynn.

All Based On Five Nights At Freddy’s Review

Biters FNAF is coming to GBM…well, sort of…You see, I was thinking of doing a three-way battle royal between the Five Nights film, Willy’s Wonderland, and the Banana Splits Movie, as they all seem to stem from the same base: the Five Nights game franchise.

However, while I enjoyed all three films, one was far better than the others at being a FNAF movie, and shockingly, it wasn’t Freddy Fazbear.

Taking the bronze is The Banana Splits. The popularity of the Indie horror game Five Nights At Freddy’s made a movie seem like a logical next step, but as I recall, it seemed like studios were having trouble getting it off the ground.

Did The Devil Really Lost A Fiddle Contest In Georgia?

There are many songs and genres claiming to belong to the devil. However, there’s only one song challenging the devil to a fiddle competition! What is it about this song that we enjoy so much?

Rest In Peace And Eternally Rest

Biters, I want to start this article on a rather serious note. March is now a rather big month in my home. A year ago, on March 8th, we lost my stepfather. He introduced me to the song I’m reviewing this month, so with that in mind, Rick, in memoriam, this article is for you.

First To Eleven Is A Band Worth Listening To

At Gothic Bite Magazine we love music and we love introducing awesome musicians found online. This week James Vaughan is introducing First To Eleven to us.

Who Is First To Eleven?

Biters, it is time, as promised, for me to return to our Bohemian Rhapsody Ladies from a while ago.

So, may I present Audra Miller of First to Eleven and First to Eleven. This is where I tell you a little about them. But who better to tell you about the band than the band themselves?

All I Want For Christmas Is The Beautiful People

We all know the song from the artist who thawed and haunts our radio anywhere we go for the duration of the holiday season. But what if the Goth King came and saved us all? James talks about it!

My Marilyn Manson Redemption Must Happen!

Biters, I must confess I dropped the ball back around Halloween. I was given a special request to look at a Marilyn Manson song. While I turned an article in for you all, it was merely fair in execution.

It’s not worthy of you or a gothic magazine for a Halloween article. Biters, I now seek redemption this December with Bill McClintock‘s All I Want for Christmas is the Beautiful People.

Everybody Make A Scene! Marylin Manson Is Singing This Is Halloween!

Gothic Bite Magazine loves The Nightmare Before Christmas, and our founder’s favourite signer is Marylin Manson. James is here to talk to us about the Pumpkin King…This Is Halloween!

This, Our Town Of Halloween!

Boys and girls of every age, would you like to see something strange? That’s right, Biters, This Is Halloween, and I’m revisiting our favourite town.

This article is actually a special request from our founder. She loves Marilyn Manson, I love cover songs, and I enjoy The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The Song Big John Is More Gothic Than We Think!

Over at Gothic Bite, we know that the word gothic runs deeper than what the populace thinks it does. It creeps in, and sometimes we find it in songs. James tells us more about Big Bad John.

A Little About Big Bad John

Alright, Biters, It’s been a while since I did a song review. Let’s revisit a favourite artist of mine, bass singer and Voice Play member Geoff Castellucci. This time, we are looking at his cover of Big Bad John.

Considering this is Geoff’s third time around with us, there is no need to rehash his stats and history. We all know that man can sing. Instead, let’s focus on the song’s history.

Gothic Bite Magazine Interviews Their Writer, James Vaughan

At Gothic Bite Magazine, we love welcoming new patients to become part of our asylum. We question them and learn about them. It doesn’t matter what creative field they are part of because they’re our patients now. This week, we welcome James Vaughan.

Patient Name: James Vaughan

I’m James Vaughan, an occasional writer for GBM and a part-time custodian. I’m Taurus and enjoy long walks on the beach…Oops, sorry, wrong interview.

If that last line didn’t make it obvious, my key trait in the Ghoul Family is humour. I’m the comedic relief to the rest of our gang’s tragedy, showcase the theatre masks because I’d rather laugh now and cry later.

The Little Match Girl As A Maiden And Unhappy Girl

2023 has just begun, and it’s time to learn new things and dig deeper into our gothic side to enjoy the morbid and unusual. Let’s start with something light and dark, shall we?

Card Games And Fairy Tales

New Year’s greetings, Biters! Let’s kick 2023 off with a rather odd choice for a GBM article. I want to look at Yu-Gi-Oh!.

Now, I want to discuss something other than the anime or manga. I want to look at the real-world trading card game, but even more so, one card in particular, The Unhappy Maiden.

The Merkins Are The Perfect Holiday Boy Band

The Merkins are a musical band dedicated to the horror of all occasions! The holidays rarely rhyme with horror or slasher flicks. But The Merkins somehow make it work.

The Holiday Cheers All Around

“In my life, I’ve done a lot of waiting: Waiting on Halloween to come back around…as I stood in line and did some deep thinking, I realized I could celebrate Halloween all year round.”
— Michael Myers as Forrest Gump

That’s right, Biters. I meant to have this article out for October, but I missed that deadline. But that’s okay because, as goths, we let our Halloween spirit run all year long, including the Winter Solstice / Yule / Christmas.

Gothic Queen Classic Remake Review

It is not the first time that our pop culture expert, James or our favourite Skeleton Hiding In Our Closet do reviews about classic remakes, so, without further due, here’s a new one!

It’s Good To Be Back!

Alright, Biters,

I have something a little different for you. Both friends, family and even coworkers have encouraged me to share about my autism. With that, I have not one but four YouTube cover artists for the price of one.

Biters meet Violet Orlandi, Addie Nicole of Halocene, Audra Miller of First to Eleven, and the GBM return of Lauren Babic. These four ladies are frequent collaborators. So, it’s kind of hard to talk about one without bringing up the others.

Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport Review By James YouTube

Those who are regulars over at GBM know that James Vaughan is our pop culture guy and music reviewer for covers. He is almost a YouTube promoter at this point! But this one…well, come in to read for yourself!

Literally Grasping At Australian Straws

WARNING: Offensive Racist Lyrics | Abuse of a corpse | Language | Racism
We are sorry for any offence with may cause. The article revolves around other lyrics of the song.

Biters, I have another song lined up, and you’ll be surprised! It’s an original song and not a cover. With that said, I hope you feel limber because I’ll be reaching and stretching for this musical number.

Oh! Spoiler! Warning for how the stinger of how the song ends. Since it is why I wanted to share it with you all.

A Duo Covers Like No Other

Gothic Bite Magazine reviews many different subjects and one of them is left to our pop culture specialist, James Vaughan. He loves his indie bands and his favourites are those who do covers of hits in a more rock and metal way!

It’s Been A While

A while back, in my Wolf Totem article, I did a mini review on somebody I’ve been wanting to talk about for ages Pamela Romvel and David Galardi, better known as The Covers Duo.

So, Biters, let’s move these two from the Gothic Bite Magazine opening act to the GBM headliners and take a closer look at The Covers Duo.

How To Survive An Iconic Slasher Killer Like Leatherface

Gothic Bite Magazine is officially relaunched this week! To kickstart our new beginning, we decided to do a week on how to survive an iconic slasher killer.

McConaughey Wasn’t Driving A Lincoln

The GBM Relaunch is winding down, and shockingly yet another Friday the 13th where I’m not talking about Jason. Biters, I can hear you cry blasphemy.

After all, it’s his big day, but we can’t end this relaunch without sending you off with some southern hospitality. That’s right, let’s talk Leatherface.

Mongolian Wolves

Biters, I think it’s obvious at this point I’m a bit of a hard rock, metal fan. So, I’d like to tackle the Mongolian throat singing metal band The Hu.

The Hu was introduced to me a few months back by one of my gaming friends. It happened through what must be their most well-known song and the center piece of this article, Wolf Totem.

It’s Friday The 13th!

Happy Friday, the 13th Biters! I was going to do an article about our favorite hockey-mask-loving-zombie. You know him. You love him…

They Killed Burt Gummer

Biters, it’s time for an aftershock. Quite a few months back, I did a review on the 90’s cult classic Tremors.

* SPOILER ALERT! *

It’s All About Burt Gummer

This article will not be a film review on the sequels but more of a tribute to the film’s breakout character Burt Gummer.

If this intro has not tipped my hand already, major spoiler alert for Tremors Shrieker Island.

Last night I queued up Netflix and saw a new tremors film had come out, so naturally, I had to watch it. This film hit all the familiar beats I know and love from this franchise, but it also did something I never expected and shook me to my core. They killed Burt Gummer.

Today I’m putting the GBM spotlight on Anthony Vincent and his channel Ten Second Songs.

2 For 1 With Freddy vs Jason

Favorite Horror Movie week! Today, it’s James’ turn and it’s a 2 for 1 Iconic Faceoff!

Official Jason vs. Freddy Summary

It’s been nearly ten years since Freddy Krueger terrorized people in the dreams. The town’s folk want to keep him erased from their memory. Freddy still has one more plan on getting back to Elm Street.

He resurrects Jason Voorhees and sends him off to kill. The more bodies which fall to the ground, the strong in which Freddy becomes. This is until, Freddy realizes that Jason isn’t going to step aside easily, and must be taken down himself. — Written by Film_Fan IMDb.

Undead, Living Dead, Walkers, ZOMBIES!

The week keeps going with the favorite monsters of our writers! Today, James shares his choice, and he liked them before it was cool to do so!

The Monster

The time has come Biters to talk favorite monsters. I can hear you now. “That’s easy. You said it’s the Graboids from Tremors!”

Or you call yourself GBM’s Skeleton in the Closet, so it has to be skeletons. But you’d be surprised. It’s actually zombies.
