Annabelle…Its not the doll you need to worry about.

Warning!!! This review contains spoilers. I’ve just enjoyed about a third of a bottle of 1835 brand whiskey so let’s cut to the chase. I for one like the movie. I’m sure a lot of people out there will say that this movie was nothing more than just a money grab for anyone who enjoyed […]

31 Days of Horror Day 3: The Orphanage

It has been grey and dreary all day today.  Enough of this comedy.  Let’s get to the spooky stuff. This isn’t an out-and-out scary movie, but it has such an amazing atmosphere to it.  There’s an overwhelming feeling of dread throughout the entire film, and there are some really creepy moments.  On a day like […]

31 Days of Horror Day 2: Ghostbusters

I swear not all of my picks will be mid-to-late 80s horror comedy.  But it’s still early in October.  It’s still a little warm outside.  We have to ease into Halloween season. Like The Burbs, this is another film from that era that holds up remarkably well.  It’s still really funny, and there are some […]

The Strain S1E12, “Last Rites”

It’s been a rough week, and your old pal Dusty hasn’t had much of a chance to write.  With that in mind, let’s skip over the unwieldy intro and get straight to my loves and hates. Hates: 1. The stuff with Setrakian’s wife felt really forced.  There wasn’t a ton of emotion, even though I […]

Black Friday- Jeffery X Martin

First off, deepest apologies to Mr.Martin for taking so long to get this review up. Second, this was a tremendous read. The world building is some of the best I’ve read in quite some time. Each story adds more mystery and intensity to Elder’s Keep that allows it to grow into its own character. It […]

Sleepy Hollow S2E2 review: “The Kindred”

A New Sheriff And Monster Are In Town (and don’t mess with her/him) While Sleepy Hollow settles into its procedural formula of consulting old texts for clues, flash backs and Abbie telling Ichabod something witty/funny about this wacky modern world, the show also surprises us with nice tidbits like prophetic nightmares, a new monster and the […]

Sleepy Hollow S2E1 review “This is War”

Welcome Back, Baby: Sneaky, Clever, Fun, Familiar. Have you missed hearing a sexy male voice intone “Leftenant” in a British accent? Lament no more. Sleepy Hollow is back. It’s a little slicker (more makeup and some cool SFX), but the writing is still sharp and the outrageous skew on history is still galloping along. I […]
