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 […]

I know there are quite a few people who don’t really care for this movie, but I absolutely loved it. I love how it plays with the uncertainty of reality for the characters. What is real? What is an illusion? Oculus walks this tightrope the majority of the time, and they do a really good […]
Hey guys. Let’s get real for a second. This week has been really stressful. Work has been crazy. And, on top of these 31 Days of Horror posts and the return of The Walking Dead, I have also been keeping myself busy with my work at Packer Update. All of that means I’ve been writing […]
I almost gave up on this movie within the first 10 minutes. You remember those 10 minutes, don’t you? It was the Warrens recapping a case they had involving a possessed doll. The people were able to tell it was possessed even though it totally looked like a normal doll. Not even a little bit […]
This is one of my favorite modern horror movies. I’m a sucker for movies that show a well-known story from a different perspective (Colin and Tucker & Dale vs. Evil are other favorites of mine in this vein), and this one absolutely nails it. If you’ve ever talked to me about slasher films, chances are […]
Let’s do another zombie movie, shall we? I really should have done this after Night of the Living Dead, seeing as how it’s an indirect sequel. Oh well. I didn’t love this movie immediately. Coming from Romero’s films, it’s a different kind of zombie movie. It has fun with the idea of zombies. They run. […]
Let’s cut to the chase: I was not looking forward to this season. While last season had some pretty good moments (“The Grove” was one of the best episodes of the series), it remains a frustratingly inconsistent show. So no, I wasn’t looking forward to the return of The Walking Dead. I had it in […]
That’s two depressing movies in a row. Let’s lighten things up a bit while still keeping it within the zombie family, yeah? To do while, we’ll go with Edgar Wright’s zombie comedy, Shaun of the Dead. This movie is perfect. It’s not a parody of the genre, but a loving homage to it. The difference […]
End of Summer by J. Tonzelli is a book that tries really hard. It wormed into all my comfortable places and I wanted to like it. The thirteen short stories it contains are centered on Halloween, which is a soft spot for most of us in the scare industry. Cool weather, changing leaves jumping off […]
I was talking about Lake Mungo with a friend of mine on Facebook, and she mentioned how sad that movie is. Like, soul-crushingly sad. We’re basically watching a documentary about a close-knit family who tragically lost a family member, and we see them deal with the loss in their own way. It’s a heartbreaking character […]
