Like last year, I wanted to do a wrap-up ranking my favorite horror movies of the year just past. Unlike last year, I didn’t have as much time to see quite as many new horror films as I would have liked, though I still managed to get my list to twenty films that I really … More My Twenty Favorite Horror Films of 2025
I know I haven’t been posting on here much lately, but that’s mostly because I’ve been busy with work, and also because I’ve been trying to take in as many 2025 horror flicks as possible with a view to doing another massive, year-end top twenty like I did for 2024. But as the holidays are … More Movies: The Sacrifice Game (2023)
It’s getting toward the end of the year, and with a view to doing another “best horror of 2025” list like the one I did in 2024, I’ve been watching some new films that I’ve seen recommended here and there in the horror community. And that’s how I came upon the Norwegian film The Ugly … More Movies: The Ugly Stepsister (2025)
Australian brothers Danny and Michael Philippou burst onto the horror scene back in 2022 with their excessively hyped (and admittedly pretty excellent) supernatural horror film Talk To Me, which had the community abuzz and seemingly heralded the arrival of some notable new talent in the horror genre. I actually really liked Talk To Me, though … More Movies: Bring Her Back (2025)
I had noticed the strikingly awesome cover for the 2021 novel This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno many times while scrolling through my Kindle, and I figured I’d get around to it eventually because the premise sounded pretty interesting. But then it so happened that I was on a subreddit the other day where … More Books: This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno
Y’all should know by now how much I love Dario Argento, right? Suspiria and Deep Red are two of my favorite horror films of all time, and pretty much all of his early work is brilliant. But as I’ve also mentioned a time or two (or fifty), his output after the 1980s is a mixed … More Movies: Sleepless (aka Non ho sonno) (2001)
Way back around Christmas of 2023, I read and reviewed a delightful holiday novella titled Everything Is Temporary by Jon Cohn. Just recently, I got an email from his publicist, asking if I’d like to have a gander at his latest novel, Kill Beth, published on June 11th of 2025. As you can likely surmise … More Books: Kill Beth by Jon Cohn
The story behind 2020’s supernatural horror film The Empty Man is an odd, convoluted one. Based on a graphic novel of the same name by Cullen Bunn and Vanesa R. Del Rey, the movie was the directorial debut of David Prior, who would later go on to direct one of the better episodes of Guillermo … More Movies: The Empty Man (2020)
I feel like I’m probably in the majority when I say that M. Night Shyamalan’s films have been a mixed bag, to say the least. Like most people, I loved The Sixth Sense and have a soft spot for Unbreakable as well (though I’m not as big a fan of Signs as some others tend … More Movies: The Visit (2015)
As regular readers and viewers of my channel will know, I definitely love my old horror movies, but I also try fairly hard (as time allows) to keep up with some of the buzzed-about new ones coming out, as I genuinely believe that some of the best horror films ever have come out in the … More Movies: The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024)
