Boo! John Carpenter Returns to Halloween Franchise! In case you missed it, Blumhouse has announced that they have brought John Carpenter back into the Halloween franchise. He will be producing the next installment in the series, set to release in October 2017. I do not like this. As you all well know, Carpenter is the man […]
In case you missed it, Blumhouse has announced that they have brought John Carpenter back to the Halloween franchise. He will be producing the next installment in the series, set to release in October 2017. I love this. As you all well know, Carpenter is the man responsible for first bringing Michael Myers into our […]
Synopsis: Authorities find over 800 VHS tapes made by an elusive killer in and around Poughkeepsie, New York. We the viewer – most of whom are absolutely not police or FBI agents – get to watch some of these and see what terrible things this killer did. Awful things. Twisted things. Why did they let […]
Mailbag: May 23, 2016
Welcome to another exciting installment of the Horror Writers mailbag! Thanks for the questions. Did you see the Rec saga? – @NicoLasaigues I have seen the first three, and I really enjoyed all of them. Like a true American, I saw Quarantine first (USA! USA!), so I think that colored my judgment of the first […]
I chase the scare. After a childhood of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Stephen King, Ghost Busters, Scooby Doo, Fear Street, and Christopher Pike, I stumbled upon paranormal reality television. It was a dream come true. It feels so real, it probably isn’t, I mean, it totally isn’t, but who cares? Alas, there are only so […]

I have […]

Hush: Movie Review
Synopsis: A deaf, mute female author lives alone in a fairly secluded house in the woods. A man in a creepy mask shows up, kills her neighbor and terrorizes her. My thoughts: This seems like a pretty standard home invasion movie, but I gave it a shot because it was directed by Mike Flanagan. I […]
Dead Ahead: Short Film
This is incredible.
Stung: Movie Review
Synopsis: Genetically modified super-wasps descend on a gathering of rich people. If you get stung (STUNG, you guys. I just got it) by one of these wasps, you will become a person-sized wasp. So kind of like zombies, except with wings and a stinger. But hey! Maybe you can produce some delicious honey. (Wasps cannot […]
