Some of y’all might remember that a while back, I reviewed a 2022 novel titled The 666 Murders by a British author named Alan Golbourn, which I enjoyed quite a bit, with some caveats. So recently, when Golbourn contacted me again and offered me a review copy of his latest novel The Cult From Beyond, … More Books: The Cult From Beyond by Alan Golbourn
Since in my last movie review, I finally got around to seeing a classic horror film from the 1950s that I had previously and shamefully been sleeping on (Night of the Demon from 1957), I decided to continue along the same lines for this installment, taking in another film from the same decade that gets … More Movies: The Night of the Hunter (1955)
I feel as though choosing books at random like I do ends up netting me a higher-than-average percentage of novels by British authors, and I’m not entirely sure why that is. Maybe British writers are just better at coming up with titles and concepts that intrigue me, or at least are more capable of targeting … More Books: Sallow Bend by Alan Baxter
Jacques Tourneur is a name that should be well-known to serious horror fans; he’s often hailed in that community for directing a handful of the classic RKO horror pictures of the 1940s: Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, and The Leopard Man. I had seen those films previously, but for whatever reason, I had … More Movies: Night of the Demon (aka Curse of the Demon) (1957)
English writer A.J. Wills worked as a journalist for more than a decade before becoming a full-time novelist in 2021; his was a name I’d heard before, leading me to believe I’d actually read something of his, but I guess I was mistaken because none of the titles of his novels rang a bell. But … More Books: The Warning by A.J. Wills
Before I embark on the long trek into season two of Thriller with Boris Karloff, I’m going to take that promised side journey into Rod Serling’s Night Gallery, the pilot episode of which I discussed here. You see, just this past weekend while I was out and about, I happened upon a complete box set … More Revisiting Night Gallery: Season One
As you fellow horror nerds probably know, every now and then, you’re really in the mood for some pure, unadulterated, and vibrantly fragrant 1970s cheese. Being in one of those moods myself this week, I decided to toddle on over to Shudder and check out a 70s flick that I had been curious to see … More Movies: The Manitou (1978)
At long last, I’m returning to my exhaustive breakdowns of each episode of the American Thriller series from the early 1960s, hosted by Boris Karloff. This time around, I’m only covering five episodes (instead of the usual six), because there were only five left in season one, so without further ado… Episode 33: “The Terror … More Revisiting Thriller with Boris Karloff: Season 1, Episodes 33-37
A while back, I gave a glowing review to the excellent 2020 novella The Rotting Within by Matt Kurtz (seriously, read it), and much to my pleasant surprise, the author himself recently contacted me and offered me a copy of his latest work, a “creature feature” novella titled Shock Waves, which was just published by … More Books: Shock Waves by Matt Kurtz
I feel as though I’ve covered a great deal of American, British, Italian, Asian, and French horror on this site, but one country’s offerings that I’ve mostly neglected thus far is Spain, a nation that also had something of a horror boom in the 1970s, which was in fact largely kicked off by the classic … More Movies: Tombs of the Blind Dead (1971)
