I know I’ve tended toward talking about older media on this site so far, but obviously, I like to keep the format broad enough to cover something new when I think it’s worth discussing. And I can’t think of much of anything more worthy of being discussed than a brand new horror anthology series that’s … More Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities (2022)
In my recent mega-post discussing the V/H/S movie franchise, I mentioned that found footage horror wasn’t usually my go-to subgenre, though of course I listed many examples of it that I did actually really enjoy. Interestingly, right around the same time as I was planning the V/H/S video, a friend of mine in New York … More Books: Found: An Anthology of Found Footage Horror Stories by Various Authors
I will admit right up front that I’m usually not the world’s biggest fan of found footage movies. There have, of course, been several exceptions to that general opinion—Cannibal Holocaust, The Blair Witch Project, Creep and Creep 2, [REC], The Poughkeepsie Tapes, Troll Hunter, As Above So Below, One Cut of the Dead—but honestly, if … More Breaking Down All the V/H/S Movies
As I mentioned in my last book review about Literally Dead, I’m a sucker for a good Halloween horror anthology, whether it’s in book or film form. The one I’m talking about today, This Is Halloween by James A. Moore, is a bit different, in that it’s ten (mostly) Halloween-themed tales by a single author, … More Books: This Is Halloween by James A. Moore
I love Halloween (I mean, who doesn’t), and I love horror anthologies, especially ones that are based around my favorite holiday. I’ve seen and reviewed most of the best ones for Halloweens past—Trick ‘r Treat, Tales of Halloween, All Hallows’ Eve—but I came across this 2020 film called Bad Candy streaming for free on Tubi, … More Movies: Bad Candy (2020)
It’s only a week until Halloween, and like many of you guys (I assume), I’ve been preparing myself for the best day of the year by watching creepy, autumn-tinged movies and reading creepy, autumn-tinged books (which is really no different to what I’m doing the rest of the year, but I digress). So imagine my … More Books: Literally Dead: Tales of Halloween Hauntings
So here we are with another installment of our ongoing discussion of all the episodes of the 1960/1961 Thriller series, hosted by Boris Karloff. We’ve already discussed episodes 1-6 and 7-12, so we’re getting right into the next half-dozen. Episode 13: “Knock Three-One-Two” Another crime-heavy episode, this one was pretty entertaining, though it didn’t really … More Revisiting Thriller with Boris Karloff: Season 1, Episodes 13-18
I figured that since I already discussed seasons one and two of Masters of Horror, and also discussed the made-for-network-TV, unofficial third season (which was called Fear Itself, but was otherwise the same format), I might as well complete the set, as it were, and talk about the even less well-known and even more short-lived … More Revisiting Masters of Science Fiction (2007 Series)
Not long after my recent post where I revisited both seasons of the iconic 2006 & 2007 Showtime anthology series Masters of Horror, a friend of mine reminded me of something that I had, for some reason, completely forgotten about: that there was technically a third season of Masters of Horror, after a fashion. Following … More Revisiting Fear Itself (2008 TV Series)
Two decades ago, back in the distant mists of 2002 (damn, I’m getting old), director Mick Garris organized what has to be one of the most epic horror dinner parties of all time at a restaurant in Sherman Oaks, California. In attendance were such genre stalwarts as John Carpenter, Joe Dante, Guillermo del Toro, Stuart … More Revisiting Masters of Horror (2006/2007)
