Neon Night Terrors

Hello, I love 80's horror. Love it. It is my favorite era of my favorite genre of movie. I love the excess of 80's horror. It's big an it's gory and it splatters and explodes across the screen. It's an enormous, backwoods madman in a hockey mask swinging a machete. It's a demon invading nightmares … Continue reading Neon Night Terrors →

Scary Fear

Hello Again, I think about horror a lot. I think about horror movies, horror short fiction, horror novels, about the things that terrify us day-to-day. Horror is a vital thing, an important thing and a thing worth studying. I've had a project in the back of my mind, something I've been thinking about working but … Continue reading Scary Fear →

The Science-fication of Horror

In the days of olde, let's say the 1940's and back, horror movie monsters were the stuff of legends and myth. They were the vampires and werewolves of Eastern Europe. They were the mummies of Ancient Egypt. They were the primitive beasts from the Pleistocene Era. They were the ghosts and ghouls from Victorian castles. … Continue reading The Science-fication of Horror →

Discussing Horror: The Ten Podcast

Horror, for a large part of my life, has been very important to me. I believe that great horror movies help us deal with our every day fears, the fears that we cannot control. We cannot prevent every accident, every illness, every tragedy. Horror helps us to release that fear, helps us to relieve that … Continue reading Discussing Horror: The Ten Podcast →

The Ten (Episode One): Introductions

It is only now, in this final hour, that I will reveal the great undertaking that myself and Trevor C. have shouldered. It took six months of constant and ceaseless effort.

A Quick and Easy Guide on How to Hell Raise

There are a lot of horror film franchises that have let me down. Scream, Friday the Thirteenth, Nightmare on Elm Street; They have all devolved into pointless, mindless and, to be frank, stupid repetitions of the same old song and dance. There was one franchise that disappoints more than any other and that's the Hellraiser … Continue reading A Quick and Easy Guide on How to Hell Raise →

Movie Review: Evil Dead (Remake)

Last night, I went to see the Evil Dead remake and I was less than impressed. For those that don't know, the original The Evil Dead is a horror cult classic that exists in its own realm of awesome. It is a frantic, kinetic, slapstick gore-tastic explosion of excess. The sequels that followed are less … Continue reading Movie Review: Evil Dead (Remake) →

Saturday Night Movie Review: Nazis at the Center of the Earth

As I mentioned last week, I'm going to start reviewing movies that I believe are perfect to watch while drinking beer and hanging out with friends. Or, if you're me, drinking a warm bloody mary while you're by yourself. They're the movies that are so bad they're funny, over-the-top violence and acting so wooden you … Continue reading Saturday Night Movie Review: Nazis at the Center of the Earth →

Saturday Night Movie Review: Stake Land

I believe, fervently, that Saturday nights are made for watching bad movies, mainly because I'm a shut-in with the personal skills of a wounded bear who was already not too fond of people. But finding the right bad movie is difficult. You need to hit all the right notes of hilarious dialogue, wooden acting and … Continue reading Saturday Night Movie Review: Stake Land →

Just Down Downs Road

In spite of the fact that I do not believe in monsters, the supernatural or Lovecraftian horrors, I will still go out of my way to try and find them. I've gone to Boston Commons trying to find the numerous ghosts that are supposed to have been sighted there. I've journeyed down abandoned stairwells hidden … Continue reading Just Down Downs Road →
