Beer Review: Samuel Adams Fat Jack

It's been a long while since I've done a beer review and, in all honesty, it's probably been a long while since I've actually spent any time thinking about the stuff I'm pouring into my stomach. It's time to slow down and think about what I'm drinking. And we're going to start off with something season … Continue reading Beer Review: Samuel Adams Fat Jack →

Halloween Anti-Climax

With Halloween rapidly approaching and with my promise to not celebrate Halloween rapidly faltering, I am stating now, unequivocally, that I am not doing any crazy, wacky Halloween stuff for my blog. No posting every day. No Thirty-One Days of horror. No five hundred horror movie reviews. I refuse to burn myself out on this. … Continue reading Halloween Anti-Climax →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: Happy Halloween

I'm drinking a beer called Vampire Slayer (brewed by Clown Shoes). This isn't a review, I'm just letting you know that I have a dark, flavor rich beer and you should get some yourself. No, really I'm just here to say, Happy Halloween. We've spent a lot of time together, you and I and it's … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: Happy Halloween →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: In the Path of the Storm

Storms do not scare me. They haven't scared me in some twenty years. The thunder is so much noise and the lightning is avoidable. Hail is a problem, but only rarely and only when you're outside. And, in the end, there's not a lot you can do about it except button down and stay low. … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: In the Path of the Storm →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Haunting of Dylan Charles

I recently talked about the fact that I now live in a haunted apartment. I don't know who or what it's haunted by, I just know that, on occasion, it gets all creepy up in here. There have  been new sounds added into the mix. We both heard the sound of something thumping on the … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Haunting of Dylan Charles →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Remade

Between 2007 and 2010, all three of the major slasher icons were featured in reboots of the old movies. Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers stalked the silver screen again in "fresh" "re-imaginings" of the old movies. Halloween came first, followed shortly by Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. The idea that … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Remade →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: Rock and Shock (The Event)

I keep trying to condense all of this into one picture or thought that encompasses the entire event, but it's just not possible. There are the celebrities. The few we actually talked to were absurdly nice and patient with our mumbling and limp handshakes. All around me, I see adulation for a genre that gets … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: Rock and Shock (The Event) →
