The Strain S1E6, “Occultation”
Welcome back to the world of The Strain. Here you will find exterminators who are wizards with charcoal and probably should have gone into architecture, boyfriends schooled in all manner of jackassery, and patient cabbies who act as getaway drivers and listen to the ramblings of out-of-breath old men (I assume he heard about the […]
Alright all you little tombstone trash rejects, listen up! After 6 hours in surgery, the insertion of two cadaver bones, six screws, two plates and one overdose in postop, I’m back! That’s right, the boogeyman always returns in part 2! It’s good to be back with you freaks and creeps. I want to send a […]

It is called The Horror of Loon Lake and it is a horror anthology comic paying tribute to the classic horror magazines and comics that many of us loved.

The Strain S1E5, “Runaways”
I hate to keep harping on the same points over and over again, but they give me no choice. Outside of Abraham Setrakian, there are no other characters with decent stories. This show drags when it is driven by character drama. I liked seeing Setrakian’s history with The Master and Eichorst, but the rest of […]

Bird Box review
Bird Box by Josh Malerman is ninety-five percent of the best horror novel in five years. The concept is chilling and the execution is nearly flawless. This book made me anxious and uncomfortable, which is odd enough considering I’m a grizzled horror bastard. But then it creeped the shit out of me, which is rare […]
