Nick was the first person to call me about my community board posting. Moments after I hung up with him to schedule our interview I received a text with a calendar invitation to our meeting. The entry was titled, “Interview with Nick Sayre, Paranormal Investigator.” We met at Quebrada on a sunny frigid morning right […]
Synopsis: In an attempt to shore up their overnight security, a mall unveils their new plan: metal security doors that will close at night. Also, three patrolling robots. They swear the robots are non-lethal, but that doesn’t explain their onboard head-exploding lasers. Some teens decide to have an after-hours party in a furniture store. Lightning […]
As I mentioned in the not-so-distant past, I am a relatively recent horror convert. Because of this, I have fairly sizable holes in my viewing history. I haven’t seen a lot of movies that a lot of people hold up as classics. In a perfect world I would have found all sorts of time to […]
At first, my little flier didn’t get much attention, so I mentioned my project to a few neighbors and friends. I was met with extremes. They either found my project inspired or ridiculous. I finally got a hit at the playground. I mentioned my search to a mom friend and she enthusiastically told me, “Oh […]
Boo! John Carpenter Returns to Halloween Franchise! In case you missed it, Blumhouse has announced that they have brought John Carpenter back into the Halloween franchise. He will be producing the next installment in the series, set to release in October 2017. I do not like this. As you all well know, Carpenter is the man […]
In case you missed it, Blumhouse has announced that they have brought John Carpenter back to the Halloween franchise. He will be producing the next installment in the series, set to release in October 2017. I love this. As you all well know, Carpenter is the man responsible for first bringing Michael Myers into our […]
Synopsis: Authorities find over 800 VHS tapes made by an elusive killer in and around Poughkeepsie, New York. We the viewer – most of whom are absolutely not police or FBI agents – get to watch some of these and see what terrible things this killer did. Awful things. Twisted things. Why did they let […]
Welcome to another exciting installment of the Horror Writers mailbag! Thanks for the questions. Did you see the Rec saga? – @NicoLasaigues I have seen the first three, and I really enjoyed all of them. Like a true American, I saw Quarantine first (USA! USA!), so I think that colored my judgment of the first […]
I chase the scare. After a childhood of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Stephen King, Ghost Busters, Scooby Doo, Fear Street, and Christopher Pike, I stumbled upon paranormal reality television. It was a dream come true. It feels so real, it probably isn’t, I mean, it totally isn’t, but who cares? Alas, there are only so […]
Synopsis: A period piece that follows Elizabeth Bennet – the second of five sisters – through her unwanted courtship. You could almost say that Elizabeth Bennet and something called “Mr. Darcy” fooled around and fell in love. Also, there are zombies. So many zombies. My thoughts: I have never read Pride & Prejudice. I have […]
