I'm the kind of guy that thinks way too much about the details of any given thing. Whether it's the interpersonal relationships of fictional doctors or determining how children are able to grow at expeditious rates under the influence of toy slime, my brain is constantly whirring and fizzing because I can't just leave anything … Continue reading Genre Defining

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. We planned, plotted and prepared for this moment. Every step we took, every move we made was toward this one point. Every calculated effort … Continue reading The Ten (Episode One): Introductions
Halloween Monday Movie Marathon and Beer: Hillside Cannibals and Dogfish Head Punkin Ale
I am disappointed to end this day on a low note, but that's how it is. I am not a huge fan of Dogfish Head, but I decided I'd give them one more shot, in the spirit of the season. The problem isn't so much with the brewery as it is with brown ales. I … Continue reading Halloween Monday Movie Marathon and Beer: Hillside Cannibals and Dogfish Head Punkin Ale
Monday Halloween Movie Marathon and Beer: Alice in Murderland and Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin
Like before, let's start off with my review of the beer, Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin. I smell cinnamon. I taste cinnamon. This is a cinnamon beer. There's not much in the way of pumpkins here. I'm not sure what cinnamon has to do with pumpkins aside from pumpin pie, but, at least in the eyes of … Continue reading Monday Halloween Movie Marathon and Beer: Alice in Murderland and Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin
Halloween Monday Movie Marathon (And Beer)
Two things have converged to create what will be my finest blog moment: 1.I have Monday off from work. 2. I just got back from Rock and Shock.' After the convention yesterday, I was struck hard by the desire to really get some Halloween celebrating in. I knew that I had to do something and … Continue reading Halloween Monday Movie Marathon (And Beer)
Rock and Shock 2013
I have to say that up until today, my Halloween spirit was lacking. I haven't been watching scary movies. I haven't been eating more than my usual share of fun sized Snickers bars. I haven't been reveling in my usual Halloween activities. October has just been steadily and speedily been moving along and the whole … Continue reading Rock and Shock 2013
