We’re almost there. I know this isn’t the most popular pick, but I always watch it around this time of year. It’s not a scary movie, but it does have a spooky feel to it. I love the atmosphere. I love the cast, as well. We have a skittish Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane… […]

“He was a really cool guy. I’m so glad we got a chance to tour with him.” Mickey Finn says over his beer as we bond over Alice Cooper before Finn’s band takes the stage. That was the first time I met Mickey, a real down to Earth cat, yet very serious about horror movies, […]
Look Where You’re Going An episode that starts with yoga, so we can see Abbie in a state of semi-undress and Ichabod in casual modern clothing as both sweat by candlelight??? Bestill my heart! Nicole looked like she knew what she was doing, so I’m guessing she brought her mat on set enough times for […]
There are many things to talk about when we talk about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Many fixate on Leatherface, and rightly so. He’s one of the most recognizable slashers in horror cinema, but also the one that evokes the most empathy. How can you hate a man who obviously has mental issues? He is clearly […]
I know, I know. I’m a day late on this. Sorry. Day 27 will be coming later today. But, for now, we have Scream. This brought the well-known (although not totally accurate) slasher rules to the masses. It also somehow launched a new horror franchise with a new killer, all while making fun of the […]
Not for that Kind of Storage Andrea Giesbrecht of Winnipeg, Canada, has been arrested for the six decomposing infants found in her rental storage unit. Authorities don’t know how long the babies have been there but they were found in various states of decomposition. Interestingly, Giesbrecht hasn’t been charged with homicide. She’s been charged with […]

Go here to enter. Here’s a quick blurb about Hunter’s Trap Seventeen-year-old Dayton Mulligan is stuck looking after his little brother Jeremy […]
I know I am not alone in saying that this is my favorite Universal Monster movie, and there’s not really a challenger for that title. Sure, I like all of them, and, while the original Frankenstein is in second place, it’s a pretty distant second. It’s perfect. The atmosphere is great (the scene of The […]
Lace your boots up, kiddies. We’re getting down to it. We’re only a week away from Halloween. Time to get serious. While Freddy gained more personality as the series went on (New Nightmare being the obvious exception), this first film still has the ability to creep me out. Freddy isn’t a one-man quip-machine: he’s a […]

Back to Basics
It’s becoming harder and harder nowadays to devote yourself completely to something. It’s a world filled with so much distraction, but opportunity, that carries us from one passion to the next. And it’s as easy as that; we’re six-year-olds hooked on sharks one week and pirates the next. But we’re hooked nonetheless. You are here […]
