Sleepy Hollow S2E7: “Deliverance”

It’s What You Expected Nice that they aired this episode on the eve of November 4th with Abbie voting (and reminding viewers that women and blacks did not always have the right to vote: SO VOTE TODAY!) Your Sleepy Hollow public announcement is now completed. Moloch wants in this world in a bad bad way. […]

The Walking Dead S5E3, “Four Walls and a Roof”

It’s been a rough week, as evidenced by the fact that I’m barely finishing up this write-up before the next episode runs.  Better late than never?  Sure.  Why not. While our “heroes” were in or around the church for the entire episode, it wasn’t bogged down by their location.  Through three episodes, there is an […]

31 Days of Horror: Halloween

And so we find ourselves at the end of our journey.  It’s cold and rainy here in Lexington, KY, which means there will be precious few trick or treaters out there.  Those that brave the elements will get large handfuls of candy from yours truly.  “Shine on you crazy sugar-loaded monster.” Over the course of […]

31 Days of Horror Day 30: Trick R Treat

Yesterday was insanely busy, so I didn’t get a chance to put this up.  Apologies.  Between work and a playoff softball game (championship game next week!), I just couldn’t find any time.  This is also my excuse for the lateness of my Walking Dead post this week.  I love excuses. The lack of a post […]

31 Days of Horror Day 29: Severance

A British horror comedy about a work retreat held in a remote cabin in Hungary.  The fear of bears is real, but they soon realize something more sinister is lurking in the trees.  Is their cabin really an old mental institution, or is that just a story? I love this movie.  It’s a comedy, but […]

31 Days of Horror Day 28: Sleepy Hollow

We’re almost there.  I know this isn’t the most popular pick, but I always watch it around this time of year.  It’s not a scary movie, but it does have a spooky feel to it.  I love the atmosphere. I love the cast,  as well.  We have a skittish Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane…   […]

Cold Blue Rebel With A Cause…An Interview with Mickey Finn of the Psychobilly Horror band, Cold Blue Rebels

“He was a really cool guy. I’m so glad we got a chance to tour with him.” Mickey Finn says over his beer as we bond over Alice Cooper before Finn’s band takes the stage. That was the first time I met Mickey, a real down to Earth cat, yet very serious about horror movies, […]

Sleepy Hollow S2E6: “And the Abyss Gazes Back”

Look Where You’re Going An episode that starts with yoga, so we can see Abbie in a state of semi-undress and Ichabod in casual modern clothing as both sweat by candlelight???  Bestill my heart! Nicole looked like she knew what she was doing, so I’m guessing she brought her mat on set enough times for […]

31 Days of Horror Day 27: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

There are many things to talk about when we talk about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  Many fixate on Leatherface, and rightly so.  He’s one of the most recognizable slashers in horror cinema, but also the one that evokes the most empathy.  How can you hate a man who obviously has mental issues?  He is clearly […]
