With It Follows being released on Blu Ray last week, have a mish-mash of unconnected thoughts. – It’s hard to ignore the obvious Halloween references throughout the film. All the wide shots from a steadicam. The calm, tree-lined suburban streets with more than a hint of evil lurking. The pulsing synth. The fact […]
Full disclosure: Carl D. Smith has contributed articles and a wonderful set of short stories to this website in the past. I’ve been sitting on this review for about 8 months now, so let’s get to it. Despite being a novella, there is a wonderful world created in the pages of Darkness out of […]
You’ve handled my worst, so you’re now getting my best. Before I get to the list, here are some that just barely missed the cut (or maybe they didn’t, but I wanted to talk about them.) Snowpiercer Honestly, the only reason this one didn’t make the list is because I’m not sure if it qualifies […]
You’ve already been treated to Renfield & Shawn’s lists, so now it’s time to take a look at mine. Because I know you can’t get enough of these sweet, sweet lists. My plan was to combine my Best and Worst onto one list. But then I got to writing and it got a little too […]
Mercy (Blumhouse Productions 2014) just might have the set up of the perfect storm to be the next big horror film. If it is not enough for you that Mercy is based on the short story “Gramma” from Stephen King’s Skeleton Crew, the cast of Chandler Riggs (The Walking Dead), and Dylan McDermott (American […]
My mother always said, “If you ain’t howlin’, you ain’t livin’.” Did Lou Garou’s mother tell him the same thing? No way to know for sure. If I were to guess, I’d say “yes”. “Howl, young man, HOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWL,” she’d say with fire in her eyes, and Lou would nod and take a swig of his […]

Acadia King is a young widow suddenly faced with answering this question, and in ways she could have never dreamed possible at the start of her evening. It has been two long years since the death of her husband. Caving to the pressure from her good […]
Clever. One word; clever. That is how I will summarize Still the Shadows by Elizabeth Fields, a collection of four short horror stories suitable for young adults or adults who have a preference other than the hack ‘n slash gore and zombie apocalypse that seems to be on permanent repeat on Amazon’s “Top Choices” list. […]
I was not excited about Cabin Fever: Patient Zero. Why the hell would I be? The franchise, such as it is, is in shambles. Matter of fact, calling it a franchise is like calling Twilight a vampire movie. Eli Roth’s original Cabin Fever is an explosive juggernaut of gore, humor, titties, and teenagers making fabulously […]
Another week down, another week late. Sorry everyone. I’ve been slacking pretty hard lately. And during a good season, too. I’m going to try to get back on track for the remaining episodes. Can’t be falling too far behind with such a short amount of time left in the season. Hates: 1. I realize that […]
