24 Hours of Horror Movies for Halloween

A good friend of mine posed this question to me this past weekend: “If you wanted to watch movies for 24 hours on Halloween, what would your list look like?”  For the sake of ease in this, he told me to assume every movie was 2 hours long. I really loved this question, so I […]

TWD S4 E3, “Isolation” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Columbus Festbier Lager.  This time of year, I find myself trying a lot of pumpkin and Oktoberfest beers.  This is one of the latter.  It’s decent.  A little on the lighter side of Oktoberfest, but still very drinkable.  Not great.  Not terrible.  Strictly middle of the road. Eight things that annoyed me: […]

TWD S4 Ep. 2: “Infected” by Dusty

Shawn chimed in with his thoughts on this episode here.  You should really read it. What I’m drinking: Sam Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale.  Honestly, not as great as I hoped it would be.  Not nearly as pumpkiny as some others I’ve had.  But it’s still pretty good. Six things that annoyed me: 1. With everyone […]

TWD S4 Ep 1: “30 Days Without Incident” by Dusty

L.C. and I have decided to do a sort of dueling reviews thing for The Walking Dead this year.  You can read her review of this episode here. What I’m drinking: Ginger ale, because I feel kind of terrible. Six things that annoyed me: 1. The huge heaping of “Daryl love” at the beginning of […]

No Reflection

For starters, I don’t really read many horror short stories.  I find that most of them follow the same general formula: build up for a little bit, then drop the quasi-twist hammer.  It’s something that finds its roots in Tales From the Crypt, The Twilight Zone, and O. Henry.  It doesn’t necessarily mean all horror fiction is […]

The Walking Dead as Dusty sees it

My new friend (and possibly soon-to-be enemy, depending on how well this goes) L.C. Fremont and I have decided to have a little back-and-forth about each episode.  She loves the show.  I have numerous issues with it.  It should be a lot of fun, and there may be a little bloodshed.  You can read her […]

Hemlock Grove Episode 3: The Order of the Dragon

Drink of choice: Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat It’s a good one.  As far as “pumpkin beers I can find at a store near my house”, this ranks near the top. My original plan was to finally track down some Southern Tier Pumking.  I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about it (the guys at Blood Good […]

Hemlock Grove Episode 2: The Angel

Drink of choice: Simpler Times Lager Because I don’t have enough money to keep my fridge completely stocked with good beer, I have to go cheap from time to time.  At $4 for a six-pack, this qualifies as cheap.  It’s not bad, but it’s not really good, either.  I have to drink it pretty quickly; […]

What Comes Next: The Lords of Salem

In this series, I take a look at what happens to characters after the credits roll. Beware of spoilers.  There will be spoilers. You can read my original review here. When we last left our heroine Heidi, she had met a Satanic baby with stretchy phallus arms, and ended up joining a coven of witches […]
