As a fan of horror, and growing up in the 80s, I got to see a lot of fantastic horror movies. In 1978, John Carpenter captures what it meant to be afraid.

What makes horror such a great genre for movies, television, literature, and anything else you can think of? In a word: versatility. Horror isn’t always defined by gore and death, but rather the feeling of doom, gloom, and dread. It can be funny just as well as terrifying. Our little niche of cinematic and media bliss has given us great …
Read More »12 Urban Legends Turned Into Horror Movies
Urban legends have been a part of our society since the first man crawled from the primordial soup. It’s only natural that we create things, no matter how outlandish or asinine, to explain things we can’t (or don’t) understand. And that, folks, is how organized religion came to pass. But we’re not here to talk about that, no, we’re here …
Read More »Halloween 2018: The Road So Far
For all you fans of CWs “Supernatural”, you’ll see what I did there. With the title. Anyway, this is what we call… “filler”. Why? Because we have word limits and, unfortunately, the topic tonight, has less written and known about than how Donald Trump gets that brillo-pad head cozy he calls hair to remain in one spot. I would like …

When I was younger, Nightmare on Elm Street scared the hell out of me. As an adult human I went back and re-watched it and wondered, “Why did I like this?” and I only had one answer: Robert Englund. Personally, I loved the remake because it focused on Krueger’s. Much like Friday the 13th and how it framed Jason as …

I have been waiting decades for Universal Studios to get their act together and come back to what made them great: monsters! When I first heard about the “Dark Universe“, I got chills and was filled with childlike excitement. I have vivid memories, like many of you, of seeing creatures like Dracula, the Wolfman, and Frankenstein leap from the …

Read More »Book Review: Tucker’s Monster – Author S.S Wilson
TUCKER’S MONSTER I admit that when I hear the term “young adult fiction” I am forced to assume the worst. I think sparkly vampires with an addiction to Dido music sitting around stalking teenagers. Tucker’s Monster by S.S. Wilson is, thankfully, not that kind of book. It is, at its heart, an adventure story that reminds me of things I …
Read More »Book Review: SINema – Author Rod Glenn
If you have ever watched a movie and thought to yourself “Wow, I think that could happen,” then you certainly are not alone. Author Rod Glenn effectively portrayed that thought in his book SINema but took an approach most of us would not: mass murder. Han Whitman (short for Hannibal) is not his real name but one he produced to …
