A Clearing in the Forrest (Twin Dark Musing around the same theme)

 As an editor, I make all attempts to release the best work possible. More often than not, that means consulting with the writer/artist to “tweek” their work without altering their original vision. Cult and I have decided to release his newest musing in the original form, (Thorns) as well as the overly edited, (Vengeance) to […]

24 Hours of Christmas Horror

For Halloween, I made a list of 24 hours of horror movies for Halloween (you can read that post here).  I had a lot of fun doing it, so I thought I’d make one for Christmas.  This list assumes a two-hour running time for each movie. So, if you don’t feel like spending time with […]

Lisa C. Fremont’s Best/Worst of 2013

I felt very overwhelmed by picking and choosing for these lists. I will try to keep “my reasons why” short and sweet. Best Movies of 2013: Maniac: Elijah is perfection and the P.O.V. was extremely effective. It looked amazing, the soundtrack is amazing and Elijah played a very sympathetic wackadoo. I would marry this movie, […]

Film Club: The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh

Dusty’s Best/Worst of 2013

Top 10 Movies of 2013 10.The Battery – Took me a couple viewings to really like it.  It’s slow.  It drags in parts.  The characters aren’t overly likable.  But it feels like a realistic depiction of the impending zombie apocalypse.  It’s a different look at the genre, so it’s something even Renfield may be able to appreciate. […]

Shawn’s 10 Best Movies of 2013       10.  The Conjuring — Useless doll subplot aside, this movie had tension to spare 9.  Insidious Chapter 2 – Only slightly better than the original Insidious. 8. World War Z – I watched this with Ms.Horror-Writers and we enjoyed it. Go in expecting it to be […]

Rare Exports

Classified as Adventure/Fantasy/Horror, “Rare Exports” is a delightful, little Christmas tale from Finland. I wish I could say that I love it as much as everyone else does. I don’t. Way back in 2010, my husband told me a story of hearing a horror movie get an amazing review on NPR. (Yes, I listen to […]
