Pennsylvania-based author Alex Grass recently contacted me and generously offered to send me an honest-to-goodness print version of his latest work for review, a short story anthology of weird fiction titled Infernal Tramps. This appears to be Alex’s fifth book, and was published very recently, in mid-July of 2026. Comprised of tales of varying lengths … More Books: Infernal Tramps by Alex Grass
I regret that I’ve gotten pretty behind in catching all the new and hyped horror films that have been coming out in 2026, but I’m slowly trying to make up for lost time. In that line, a friend had recommended the movie Undertone to me back when it was still in theaters in March, and … More Movies: Undertone (2026)
John Carpenter should need no introduction to anyone reading this, but the movie we’re talking about today just might. Made for TV just before the filming of Halloween began in 1978, and broadcast on NBC a couple of weeks after Halloween hit theaters, Someone’s Watching Me! (also known as High Rise) was for a long … More Movies: Someone’s Watching Me! (1978)
A few weeks back on a livestream, one of our listeners recommended a movie called Shock Treatment, which I initially thought referred to the 1981 film of the same name that was a loose “sequel” to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. But nope, they said; this one was from 1964 and had Roddy McDowall in … More Movies: Shock Treatment (1964)
Regular readers of this blog will likely remember the name of British author Alan Golbourn, as I’ve reviewed three of his previous books (after he was kind enough to send them to me): The 666 Murders, The Cult From Beyond, and The Last Breath Before Death. Recently, Alan contacted me again and offered an ARC … More Books: From Under the Stairs by Alan Golbourn
So during a livestream a week or two ago, someone made a comment that they had found our channel through one of my giallo movie reviews, and that maybe it was time for me to do another one. Realizing that it had indeed been entirely too long since my last foray into the genre (the … More Movies: Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975)
Author Seann Barbour should be no stranger to visitors of this site, as I’ve previously reviewed two of his earlier novellas (2023’s The Last Day and 2024’s The Maw). Seann recently contacted me again to offer a review copy of his latest work, It Came from the Floodwaters, which will be published on Friday, March … More Books: It Came from the Floodwaters by Seann Barbour
I’ve mentioned it a time or three, but I love me a good 1970s made for TV horror movie. Recently, I was recommended one I’d never heard of before, Curse of the Black Widow, which first aired on ABC in September of 1977 (and was rerun in 1979 under the infinitely dumber title Love Trap). … More Movies: Curse of the Black Widow (1977)
Okay, so how the hell did I manage to sleep on this flick for so long?!? I remember it getting a ton of buzz and praise and awards when it came out way back in 2014 (more than a decade ago now; Jesus, I’m old), and I think I’d always planned on getting around to … More Movies: Nightcrawler (2014)
Returning to our Night Gallery breakdown, we’ve now arrived at season 2, episode 15, another installment with three stories, two of which are decent and one of which is…well, decidedly less decent, let’s put it that way. The first tale, “Green Fingers,” was directed by John Badham, who would go on to direct Saturday Night … More Revisiting Night Gallery: Season 2, Episode 15 – “Green Fingers/The Funeral/The Tune in Dan’s Café”
