Hemlock Grove Episode 2: The Angel

Drink of choice: Simpler Times Lager Because I don’t have enough money to keep my fridge completely stocked with good beer, I have to go cheap from time to time.  At $4 for a six-pack, this qualifies as cheap.  It’s not bad, but it’s not really good, either.  I have to drink it pretty quickly; […]

What Comes Next: The Lords of Salem

In this series, I take a look at what happens to characters after the credits roll. Beware of spoilers.  There will be spoilers. You can read my original review here.

Greetings Ghoulscouts, I had the pleasure of reading a script that someone sent me over the weekend. In short, I liked it. It had all the elements that a horror film needed.

Deadites Gone Wild

Deadites, today I am talking about Deadites. Some people have their holy grail and is Evil Dead. My thoughts aren’t revolving around the overall films but the evil within the woods itself; the Deadites. Ancient Kandarian demons possessing people and generally fucking shit up.

Hemlock Grove Episode 1: Jellyfish in the Sky

I was going to post this last night, but my internet died directly after the episode ended.  It was like Time Warner was telling me that they really, REALLY didn’t want to watch another episode.  It was the equivalent of hiding the remote. Either that or Time Warner has spotty coverage. Drink of choice: Sam […]

One Night Stand, No More – Tony “CultMetal” Painter

One night, stands no more   Tucked away on a side street, near the edge of town, “Maloonagans” was a surprisingly busy restaurant / bar. It boasted a great selection of local ales, friendly wait-staff and an atmosphere to make even the most hermit of crab feel at ease. At least that’s what the advertisements […]

Fur Lining – Greg Cole

  Simon was turning into something. He hadn’t quite figured out what it was but he had a feeling that it was a Yeti. The mountain village that he lived in had plenty of stories regarding people just upping sticks and moving out to cabins deep in the woods that ringed the snow-capped peaks when […]
