CBS5 recently uncovered Caltrans secret pet cemetery -- somewhere along eerie Highway 9 in the Santa Cruz mountains -- where they simply bag, tag, and toss little fluffy over a cliff. Gross. Caltrans, it seems, is supposed to notify the pets' owners or take them to local pounds or an SPCA. But don't. The best part of Anna Werner's investigation, though, is the discovery of pet remains stuffed into orange trash bags labeled with......

SFist Grace sees Wilmer Valderrama for IndieFest! El Muerto's not quite a horror movie. It's more reminiscent of Buffy the Vampire Slayer than Friday the 13th, only instead of a perky blonde in lipstick and a crop top we've got a Latino antihero in permanent day of the dead makeup and a mariachi suit. Replace the vampires with Aztec demons, change Sunnydale to East L.A. and you're all set! Wilmer Valderrama plays the lead character......

Looking for the next thing in wine? Well, we have the thing for you: a church in Hayward is looking to set up a vineyard on their church grounds, the graveyard part of the church grounds. ...

We've never been happier that our dead cat's cremains reside in a little box, than when we heard about how Pet's Rest Cemetery must exhume about 1000 of its residents. The lease is up on the property the animals were laid to rest in, and the landlords want it back. The cemetery's owner claimed he thought he'd be able to buy the land, the land's owners say he should have known better, and the......

Whoever said that horror films don’t make great first dates? We headed back to the Roxie, one of our fave SF theaters this weekend for horrorfest, aka Another Hole in the Head, with our friend and date in tow. We were headed to Broken, and we’d been forewarned that it wasn’t for the squeamish. Nothing a couple drinks can’t handle, we thought. It turns out the drinks, while appreciated, were complete unnecessary. We think......

Easy with the road rage, fellas! A man in a 1967 Corvette is dead after getting into what cops think was some kind of high-speed road rage chase in Hayward, losing control of his car on a curve in a cemetery, and crashing into a mausoleum. The impact of the crash opened up two crypts and totalled the recently-restored car. Witnesses say the Corvette driver was seen earlier making hand gestures at a driver in......

SFist reviews Colma: The Musical at the SFIAAFF...

Saturday: We're going to the first Amoeba Auction, planned to be a weekly event to directly aid musicians and independent relief efforts on the Gulf Coast from Hurricane Katrina. Unique, one of a kind, and collectible items (the VIP tickets to Bauhaus at the Warfield will be ours, bitches!) Amoeba will match all winning bids from the auctions, so you can bid with impunity. It all starts at 4. Sunday: We're taking SFist Franny......

Hey, creepy crawly poker fiends -- our ghostly sources pass along the following spooooooky news!

Look for your host near the main entrance, under the......
