It has been grey and dreary all day today. Enough of this comedy. Let’s get to the spooky stuff. This isn’t an out-and-out scary movie, but it has such an amazing atmosphere to it. There’s an overwhelming feeling of dread throughout the entire film, and there are some really creepy moments. On a day like […]

Sleepers II: Book Review
Sleepers II by Jacqueline Druga Warning! If you have not yet read Sleepers #1, skip this review and come back later. In the final chapter of Sleepers #1, the survivors are forcibly split into two groups. One group goes to the ARC in the former NORAD headquarters, and another group is left behind on a […]
I swear not all of my picks will be mid-to-late 80s horror comedy. But it’s still early in October. It’s still a little warm outside. We have to ease into Halloween season. Like The Burbs, this is another film from that era that holds up remarkably well. It’s still really funny, and there are some […]
Last year I wrote a post titled 24 Hours of Horror Movies for Halloween. We decided to up the ante this year. Starting today, we’ll be posting about a horror movie to watch for every day of October. Join in on the fun in the comments and suggest your own. It’s October! Let’s celebrate! Today’s […]
It’s been a rough week, and your old pal Dusty hasn’t had much of a chance to write. With that in mind, let’s skip over the unwieldy intro and get straight to my loves and hates. Hates: 1. The stuff with Setrakian’s wife felt really forced. There wasn’t a ton of emotion, even though I […]

Black Friday- Jeffery X Martin
First off, deepest apologies to Mr.Martin for taking so long to get this review up. Second, this was a tremendous read. The world building is some of the best I’ve read in quite some time. Each story adds more mystery and intensity to Elder’s Keep that allows it to grow into its own character. It […]
A New Sheriff And Monster Are In Town (and don’t mess with her/him) While Sleepy Hollow settles into its procedural formula of consulting old texts for clues, flash backs and Abbie telling Ichabod something witty/funny about this wacky modern world, the show also surprises us with nice tidbits like prophetic nightmares, a new monster and the […]
Welcome Back, Baby: Sneaky, Clever, Fun, Familiar. Have you missed hearing a sexy male voice intone “Leftenant” in a British accent? Lament no more. Sleepy Hollow is back. It’s a little slicker (more makeup and some cool SFX), but the writing is still sharp and the outrageous skew on history is still galloping along. I […]

SXTAPE
I’m pretty tired of found footage but every now and then a movie will come out and completely blow away any and all preconceived notions I have of these types of films. SXTAPE was not that film. There is so much potential with this concept that it was frustrating to watch SXTAPE fail again and […]
The season is winding down. While the show has gotten better, it’s still maddeningly inconsistent. There are some great scenes – and there have even been some truly great episodes – but there are too many moments of drama driven by the stupidity of the main characters. This episode had a little bit of each […]
