There is a lot that has been said about King Arthur in the Arthurian Legends. Many people have read or heard about him either as a real person or as a legendary figure. King Arthur is still a great mythic figure of English literature. He was a great warrior, ruler and military leader who united Britain in the medieval period. However, it is King Arthur as a legendary figure that has mostly captured the imagination and attention of readers. What cannot...

The quest for the Holy Grail by King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table is retold in inimitable Python fashion.

Devil bat: A mad scientist develops an aftershave lotion that causes his gigantic bats to kill anyone who wears it. White zombie: In this classic horror film, a magician uses his powers to raise the dead to supply zombie laborers for the sinister plantation owner Beaumont.

A real escaped gorilla shows up at the mansion just as the investigators arrive.

Young Mordred was born of an incestuous relationship between King Arthur and his falf sister, that evil sorceress, the witch queen Morgause.

He also became King Arthur's most trusted counselor, setting in motion the Fates and leading to the "wicked day of destiny."

Legendary saga of King Arthur and his companions at Camelot, their battles, love, and devotion, told this time from the perspective of the women involved.

The members of London's Peculiar Crimes Unit are on the case again when a dog walker is found dead.
