Review by Christopher Maynard The Bleeding House 2011 Directed by Philip Gelatt Starring Alexandra Chandro, Nina Lisandrello, Patrick Breen & Charlie Hewson Leo Tolstoy famously wrote “All great literature is one of two stories; a man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town.” A stranger comes to town, for some reason it […]
Well it has been too long my lovingly ghoulunatics. I’ve had a slight case of problems here and setbacks there but now I’m back and shopping for a bunch of crap that no one needs but everyone has to have. So sit up in your caskets and pay attention as I speak of the history […]
Ever wonder how the “crazy cat” lady got her start? Randy Shaffer has a theory and explores it deeper in his horror short story The Stray Cats. I won’t lie, Shaffer shared this story with me several weeks…er, okay, fine…months ago and I sat on it while I read his other work, The Horror (which was superb […]

This is not as easy as it sounds when you […]
I apologize on the tardiness of this. I was out of town for the past week-and-a-half and had no way to watch this until yesterday. I’ll have my episode 7 recap up tomorrow. Between the flashback episode and being gone for a week, I had almost forgotten about Ethan and Dorian’s night on the town. […]
One thing that horror has taught me is that…evil never dies. I’m sure by now all of you have heard about the things going on around the crypt about Horror-Writers and what will become of us, and what are we going to do now, and blah, blah, blah. For those who haven’t heard, Horror-Writers has […]

Everything old has come back to the new. It is inevitable that if it is timeless, then it will return, and sometimes with a vengeance.
