31 Days of Horror Day 23: Midnight Movie

It’s not a perfect movie, but I love it a little more every time I watch it.  It has a great premise: the slasher in an obscure movie (The Dark Beneath, which is pretty much Texas Chainsaw Massacre with hints of Psycho) is able to leave the confines of the film, grab unsuspecting viewers, pull […]

The Walking Dead S5E2, “Strangers”

So far, this week has found new and creative ways to keep me busy, so I apologize for the tardiness (sorry Abed).  Let’s get to it. After last week’s action/zombie-filled bloodbath, I knew we were due for a bit of a letdown.  How do you follow up an episode like “No Sanctuary”?  It’s hard to […]

Motley Brew. Renfield’s pick for Halloween and horror themed beers.

It shouldn’t take one very long to notice that even alcohol companies are merging into the dark side with horror themed drinks and containers as well as horror themed people are merging into the alcohol (Marilyn Manson’s “Mansinthe”).  Today you can walk into your friendly robbery-free liquor store and see that Tekillya (sorry, couldn’t resist) […]

Sleepy Hollow S2E5 review: “The Weeping Lady”

  The Green Eyed Monster First, let me get this out of the way. Ichabod’s jacket. Within the first moments of the 5th episode of the second season, some girl named Caroline is sewing buttons on it. At least they poke fun at my torture by having her add that she thinks Ichabod is a […]

31 Days of Horror Day 20: Dracula 3D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just kidding. Don’t watch this movie. It caused Dusty to question his sanity. It cause Shawn to refer to Dario Argento as “Nature’s Greatest Monster”. (You should read both of those articles.  Shawn’s is a great rundown of why he doesn’t like Argento, and mine is still one of my favorite things I’ve ever […]

Scarina’s Weekly Roundup: 10/20/14

Fashion Kills The Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto recently had an exhibit about the perils of Victorian fashion called “Fashion Victims: The Perils and Pleasures of Dress in the 19th Century.” Nowadays, we worry about people developing anorexia and plastic surgery addictions, but try wearing a dress made of arsenic.  The world had no colorfast […]

31 Days of Horror Day 19: Quarantine

There isn’t much I like less than hearing people prattle on about Peyton Manning.  One of those people currently engaging in this is Bob Costas.  Needless to say, I hit mute on my TV and decided to say a few words about Quarantine. I know it’s a divisive movie (with it being a remake of […]

Sleepy Hollow S2E4 review: “Go Where I Send Thee”

  I Will Follow You Follow me, if you will, down the winding road of the plot of episode four… We start out with Ichabod taking the piss out of Abbie during a driving lesson that becomes a TV car commercial road test. Love it. Then, while searching in the woods for a missing girl, […]
