SXTAPE

I’m pretty tired of found footage but every now and then a movie will come out and completely blow away any and all preconceived notions I have of these types of films. SXTAPE was not that film. There is so much potential with this concept that it was frustrating to watch SXTAPE fail again and […]

The Strain S1E11, “The Third Rail”

The season is winding down.  While the show has gotten better, it’s still maddeningly inconsistent.  There are some great scenes – and there have even been some truly great episodes – but there are too many moments of drama driven by the stupidity of the main characters.  This episode had a little bit of each […]

Thanatomorphose and Contracted. A Body-Horror 2 for 1

Well, well, well. I have returned from my long-standing self imposed sentence, dancing in and out of consciousness staring at strings of code and cursing the day that X-Pages became a thing. For those who are unfamiliar with me, I started this website in February of 2013 and watched it grow in to a community […]

The Artist, by Kat Morris

By Kat Morris   What is it about washing blood off of things that makes one turn suddenly introspective? Is it the feel of the blood? Sticky, clinging, suffocating, grasping at fibers, desperate to remind you that it was once moving and vital and not running headlong down a drain. The rushing water?  Clear, cold, […]

The Strain S1E10, “Loved Ones”

Do you remember the end of “For Services Rendered” when the pack of vampire hunters showed up?  I sure do.  I rubbed my hands together and proclaimed, “Here we go,” to no one in particular, because my life is a non-stop party.  I love that storyline in the books, and I was excited to see […]

Renfield’s Re-Collection part 9. (No one thought it would last this long!)

Welcome back to all my members of my Grave Robber Union! I really “dig” you cats and chicks coming back every week to join me in a little horror merch shopping. Like I really need more crap for my housekeeper/cryptkeeper to knock off the shelf and break, but hey, it gives her something to do […]

Infected Freaks Volume One: Family First book review

Review of “Infected Freaks Volume One: Family First” Review by Joy Yehle I’m not going to lie, I love The Walking Dead, but I hate the long breaks between the short seasons. I’ve been searching for something to fill the void and I think I may have finally found it. I picked up “Infected Freaks […]

Transmissions from ScareFest 7

Most of these words are true. On September 13, 2014, I attended ScareFest, a horror & paranormal convention held in Lexington, KY.  This is the 7th year of its existence.  I happen to live in Lexington, KY, and I have no excuses for missing the previous 6.  Before my Wizard World experience, I had never […]
