The Strain S1E10, “Loved Ones”

Do you remember the end of “For Services Rendered” when the pack of vampire hunters showed up?  I sure do.  I rubbed my hands together and proclaimed, “Here we go,” to no one in particular, because my life is a non-stop party.  I love that storyline in the books, and I was excited to see […]

Renfield’s Re-Collection part 9. (No one thought it would last this long!)

Welcome back to all my members of my Grave Robber Union! I really “dig” you cats and chicks coming back every week to join me in a little horror merch shopping. Like I really need more crap for my housekeeper/cryptkeeper to knock off the shelf and break, but hey, it gives her something to do […]

Infected Freaks Volume One: Family First book review

Review of “Infected Freaks Volume One: Family First” Review by Joy Yehle I’m not going to lie, I love The Walking Dead, but I hate the long breaks between the short seasons. I’ve been searching for something to fill the void and I think I may have finally found it. I picked up “Infected Freaks […]

Transmissions from ScareFest 7

Most of these words are true. On September 13, 2014, I attended ScareFest, a horror & paranormal convention held in Lexington, KY.  This is the 7th year of its existence.  I happen to live in Lexington, KY, and I have no excuses for missing the previous 6.  Before my Wizard World experience, I had never […]

The Strain S1E9, “The Disappeared”

Since I’m so late with this write-up this week (I was out of town…sorry), I’m going to skip my normal intro and just get right into the Hates/Loves. Hates: 1. Diane’s babysitting skills leave a little something to be desired.  Step one: don’t swear at the children. 2. Zach is not a very observant kid.  […]

Leprechaun Origins review

I’ll be the first to admit that the Leprechaun movies aren’t very good.  I believe the original was supposed to be a somewhat scary horror flick, but was too ridiculous to take seriously.  I mean, he killed a guy by jumping on him with a pogo stick.  Serious horror this was not.  It’s like they […]

Rigor Mortis review

You ever have one of those movies that you watch, get to the end and ask, “What was that?”  For me, that movie was Juno Mak’s Rigor Mortis, a vampire/possession-zombie(?) movie that starts and ends in some kind of gray mud, which can probably serve as some sort of commentary on the entire film.  It […]

Wrong House: A Short Story

Dave and Susan were making love when their home was invaded. They heard a kick that splintered the front door and then another that knocked it wide open. It smashed loudly against the wall. Susan was on top and she looked down at Dave. “I think you should check that out.” Dave pushed her off. […]

Interview with Steven DeGennaro

Steven DeGennaro is a writer/director whose latest project is Found Footage 3D. He was generous enough to take time out of his busy post-production schedule to take part in this interview. After chatting with Steven and watching his short film First Date, I have put him on my directors to watch list, and you should […]
