Another 2025 film I’d heard a bit of buzz about but didn’t get around to seeing before my year-end wrap-up was the summer camp horror Marshmallow, directed by Daniel DelPurgatorio (Tales of the Black Freighter) and written by Andy Greskoviak, who also penned the screenplay for the 2021 horror comedy Black Friday, which starred the … More Movies: Marshmallow (2025)
As I alluded to in my previous post about my twenty favorite horror movies of 2025, I had made a big list of films I wanted to see before the end of the year to judge if any of them were in contention, but I just ran out of time. One of these movies was … More Movies: A Desert (2025)
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)
