I know, I know. I’m a day late on this. Sorry. Day 27 will be coming later today. But, for now, we have Scream. This brought the well-known (although not totally accurate) slasher rules to the masses. It also somehow launched a new horror franchise with a new killer, all while making fun of the […]
Not for that Kind of Storage Andrea Giesbrecht of Winnipeg, Canada, has been arrested for the six decomposing infants found in her rental storage unit. Authorities don’t know how long the babies have been there but they were found in various states of decomposition. Interestingly, Giesbrecht hasn’t been charged with homicide. She’s been charged with […]
Our good friend Anne Michaud is having a Halloween giveaway for her new novel Hunter’s Trap. The giveaway also includes a copy of her previous novel Girls and Monsters and an adorable skellie. Go here to enter. Here’s a quick blurb about Hunter’s Trap Seventeen-year-old Dayton Mulligan is stuck looking after his little brother Jeremy […]
I know I am not alone in saying that this is my favorite Universal Monster movie, and there’s not really a challenger for that title. Sure, I like all of them, and, while the original Frankenstein is in second place, it’s a pretty distant second. It’s perfect. The atmosphere is great (the scene of The […]
Lace your boots up, kiddies. We’re getting down to it. We’re only a week away from Halloween. Time to get serious. While Freddy gained more personality as the series went on (New Nightmare being the obvious exception), this first film still has the ability to creep me out. Freddy isn’t a one-man quip-machine: he’s a […]

Back to Basics
It’s becoming harder and harder nowadays to devote yourself completely to something. It’s a world filled with so much distraction, but opportunity, that carries us from one passion to the next. And it’s as easy as that; we’re six-year-olds hooked on sharks one week and pirates the next. But we’re hooked nonetheless. You are here […]
It’s not a perfect movie, but I love it a little more every time I watch it. It has a great premise: the slasher in an obscure movie (The Dark Beneath, which is pretty much Texas Chainsaw Massacre with hints of Psycho) is able to leave the confines of the film, grab unsuspecting viewers, pull […]
Original vs. Remake? That’s a debate that rages throughout the horror community. The general consensus is that the original is better. I tend to fall on that side of things myself. Even when I like a remake (which happens quite often), I still usually prefer the original. I don’t have a long history with horror, […]
Welcome back to my second year of “Worst. Halloween. Decorations. Ever.” special! This year’s cornucopia of crap comes from the people that brought you White Trash and Ghetto Fab America, Wal-Mart, and the stars of discounts for dummies K-Mart, as well as the upper-class with no class Target. And lastly and leastly, the store that […]
So far, this week has found new and creative ways to keep me busy, so I apologize for the tardiness (sorry Abed). Let’s get to it. After last week’s action/zombie-filled bloodbath, I knew we were due for a bit of a letdown. How do you follow up an episode like “No Sanctuary”? It’s hard to […]
