Sleepy Hollow – John Doe: review by Cat Scully We open on a boy chasing a curly haired girl through the woods, only to be attacked by Samurai-clad horsemen. As the boy is wearing two hundred year old attire, we don’t expect the car that cuts off his fleeing the Samurai. An immediate cut shows Abbie […]
Sleepy Hollow – The Lesser Key of Solomon, review by Cat Scully We weren’t going to get far in the season without a Boston Tea Party reference and it’s finally arrived, with Icabod protecting a particular crate during it. The immediate cut-to Onstar joke of Icabod giving the answering system romantic relationship advice was unexpected. The […]
L.C. and I have decided to do a sort of dueling reviews thing for The Walking Dead this year. You can read her review of this episode here. What I’m drinking: Ginger ale, because I feel kind of terrible. Six things that annoyed me: 1. The huge heaping of “Daryl love” at the beginning of […]
Warning! Spoilers Ahead! As a proud Walking Dead Fanatic, the excitement over tonight’s premiere episode was almost too much to handle. We return to the prison to find that the group has started their own little farm, they have daily chores to maintain their lifestyle and everyone seems, dare I say it, happy. As Rick […]
For starters, I don’t really read many horror short stories. I find that most of them follow the same general formula: build up for a little bit, then drop the quasi-twist hammer.

Its strength lies with the searing performances and brilliant suspense building techniques, but its weakness is that it’s too over the top. At times it goes so overboard […]
Escape From Tomorrow, written and directed by Randy Moore is a testosterone infused fever dream of a movie. Shot in black and white, the film looks really beautiful considering it was filmed in Disneyland and Disney World without permission. Yes, Randy Moore used guerilla film making tactics and made a horror/fantasy/drama within the golden gates […]
My new friend (and possibly soon-to-be enemy, depending on how well this goes) L.C. Fremont and I have decided to have a little back-and-forth about each episode. She loves the show. I have numerous issues with it. It should be a lot of fun, and there may be a little bloodshed. You can read her […]
With the most anticipated season of American Horror Story kicking off with some fantastic clips and promos set to Lauren O’Connell’s haunting cover of House of the Rising Sun, it’s no wonder everyone, both fans and curious new parties alike, are at the edge of their seats for this season. It goes without saying that […]
