I came across We Are What We Are (Somos Lo Que Hay) this past summer; I found it to be a fascinating, multi layered, beautiful story. What is presented as the story of a family of cannibals is so, so much more. You can take this movie several different ways; you can simply watch […]

The Walking Dead Season 4 Finale
How does that quote from Jurassic Park go? “Hold on to your butts.” They should have shown that before the season finale started. We’ve been hearing all season long that this finale was going to be particularly brutal with a crazy ending. Well, it was certainly brutal, but the ending ….we will talk about later. […]

TWD, S4E16, “A”, by Dusty
What I’m drinking: Anchor Brewing’s Liberty Ale. I love this beer. Great flavor, with a little hop bite at the end. It could almost be seen as a gateway IPA: a lot of the characteristics of an IPA, but not quite as in-your-face as most craft IPAs tend to be. Dark enough for winter drinking, […]

We Are What We Are
In an unusual and rare twist, I am mildly annoyed by a horror remake. We Are What We Are, directed by Jim Mickle (Stake Land), is a remake of the Mexican film of the same name. Now that this film is available on Netflix, Twitter has lit up with conversation about it. It seems to […]

I am still having a hard time getting past the knowledge that Cobra dude is after Rick. Carol is not going to be the one to decide where […]

These small batches normally sell out pretty quickly, so you have to get your hands on them when you can. This one has the sweetness of the standard bourbon barrel ale, with […]

Carnival 13
The Carnival 13 is a very interesting concept. 13 different authors each contribute a chapter while attempting to maintain cohesiveness to the story. The entire idea takes me back to my childhood of telling ghost stories with friends. One of us would start the story and the next person would keep it going. By the […]
It is Sacrament Saturday here at horror-writers and we will be continuing our coverage by including the film’s trailer in our Trailer Talk segment. First, here is the trailer And now my thoughts: The idea of being trapped in a deeply cultish Religious town is an intriguing one. I’ve sounded off before about […]

LISA Lord of Tears, written by Sarah Daly and directed by Lawrie Brewster is a gorgeous Gothic ghost story.
