Books: A Most Malicious Murder by Melanie Fletcher

April 2, 2024

As I’m known to have something of a soft spot for murder mysteries featuring real historical characters, a longtime friend of the show bought me an ebook she knew I would most likely be into, A Most Malicious Murder by Melanie Fletcher, which was first published in 2021. And I have to say that my … More Books: A Most Malicious Murder by Melanie Fletcher

Movies: Stopmotion (2023)

March 31, 2024

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been on a bit of a mini-quest to actually watch some of the most-talked-about new horror films while they’re still (relatively) new, hence actually going to the theater to see the incredible Late Night with the Devil (which we livestreamed a review for here), and paying $6.99 to … More Movies: Stopmotion (2023)

Movies: Poor Things (2023)

March 28, 2024

Not long after I posted my review of Yorgos Lanthimos’s 2017 film The Killing of a Sacred Deer, seemingly everyone and their mama crawled out of the woodwork and told me that I absolutely must make time for an immediate viewing of the latest work from the Greek auteur, 2023’s Poor Things (which is loosely … More Movies: Poor Things (2023)

Books: The Maw by Seann Barbour

March 22, 2024

Back in late 2023, I reviewed a novella called The Last Day by Seann Barbour, which was sent to me as an ARC by the author himself and which I ended up enjoying very much. So when the same author sent me another message recently and asked if I’d have a look at his latest … More Books: The Maw by Seann Barbour

Movies: Mark of the Devil (1970)

March 17, 2024

In 1968, Michael Reeves’s historical folk horror film Witchfinder General (which Tom and I reviewed here) hit theaters in its native Britain. Starring the always incredible Vincent Price and renamed The Conqueror Worm for American audiences, the film took the real-life figure of English witchfinder Matthew Hopkins and spun a lurid tale of torture and … More Movies: Mark of the Devil (1970)

Book vs Movie: The Ritual

March 12, 2024

I figured it had been a while since I did a good old-fashioned book-to-movie comparison, and it so happened that the subject came up somewhat fortuitously, as I noticed that Adam Nevill’s 2011 folk horror novel The Ritual had become available to read for free on Kindle Unlimited. I had seen the movie years ago … More Book vs Movie: The Ritual

Movies: Frightmare (1974)

March 7, 2024

The other day, the mood struck me, as it sometimes does, to take in a forgotten film from the 1970s, one I hadn’t seen before but had heard a few people talking about here and there. And that’s how I stumbled upon 1974’s Frightmare, a British film that I remember seeing the cover of numerous … More Movies: Frightmare (1974)

Movies: The Dark Half (1993)

March 3, 2024

When I posted my review of Fright Night Part 2 a few days ago, a listener named Scott commented on my Facebook page that he’d like to see a review of the 1993 Stephen King adaptation The Dark Half. I could have sworn Tom and I had reviewed that movie on 13 O’Clock already, but … More Movies: The Dark Half (1993)

Movies: Fright Night Part 2 (1988)

February 27, 2024

Tom Holland’s 1985 horror comedy Fright Night is easily one of the best horror movies of the 80s and one of the best vampire films of all time. Because of its critical and commercial success, a sequel was naturally planned, and though Fright Night Part 2 was made and eventually released in 1989, it only … More Movies: Fright Night Part 2 (1988)

Books: Children of the Dark by Jonathan Janz

February 20, 2024

I decided it was high time for another spin of the Kindle Unlimited roulette wheel, and happily, I ended up hitting the jackpot. Literally the only two reasons I chose Children of the Dark by Jonathan Janz were because one, the cover is all retro and cool as shit; and two, I had never read … More Books: Children of the Dark by Jonathan Janz
