The Grove; TWD S4, E14

We have only three episodes left and this one did not disappoint. The opening scene of Serial Killer Lizzie playing tag with a walker while that creepy music played was strangely beautiful. (Am I the only one who had flashbacks of Insidious when that music was playing?) I really loved this episode because I felt […]

TWD S4E14, “The Grove” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Southern Tier Porter.  I thought the days of ice and snow were behind us for the year.  I was mistaken.  Luckily, I had a few of these in the house.  A dark, textured flavor, perfect for the winter. Seven things that annoyed me: 1. The forced parallels Carol draws between Mika and […]

Renfield’s Re-Collections

Grievings and salivations my fine festering freaks. I’ve noticed that I am not the only one who collects horror toys, models, posters, etc. As you know Metallica’s Kirk Hammett has such an addiction to the same that he released a book last year “Too Much Horror Business” (cleaver, I wonder if he thought that up […]

Interview with Cassandra Hierholzer of Sacrament

What can you tell us about your role in Sacrament? Shawn tricked me into this project, telling me that my character, Shell, was a beautiful wood-nymph princess, wise beyond her years and troubled by the sorrows of her people. In reality, Shell is a quick, sarcastic punk-rocker with a mouthful to say about everything. This persona is […]

Alone; TWD S4, E13

Alright, so we get more backstory on a character. I don’t know that anyone was really begging for Bob’s backstory;especially seeing as how all it really did was illustrate that he is the kind of alcoholic who downs cold medicine. How is it that he is the one who survived two different groups? Side note, […]

Why I Don’t Watch Bates Motel

With Bates Motel starting back up, Chassity and I thought it would be fun to each write a post about the show.  One in favor of the show, one against it. As anyone who reads my Walking Dead posts could probably guess, I am against it. Let’s get a couple things out of the way […]

In Defense of Bates Motel

Okay, so here’s the thing. I usually am not a fan of trends. But there is one trend that I am most definitely a huge fan of: horror, thriller, and mystery classics finding their way to the small screen as television shows. It’s been happening more and more lately, and I couldn’t be happier about […]
