WE ARE BACK BABY! I took last week off and I don’t feel guilty about it. I’m learning when to just take time for myself and not push myself into doing something I don’t feel like doing. Plus, I didn’t really have much to say or post about here and get my head back on … Continue reading Favorites: Special Effects & More

And focus on something that I think we all take note of and that is… aesthetics. We live and operate in a world where we encounter … Continue reading The Horror Aesthetics of It All
Horror Movies that Shifted the Landscape
This was mildly inspired by a recent Kill Count from Dead Meat on the movie 28 Days Later. It was something that was mentioned about how this movie changed the “undead” or zombie genre, even though it isn’t a zombie film but the antagonists were able to RUN. Zombies, walkers, the undead, they don’t run. … Continue reading Horror Movies that Shifted the Landscape

This idea kinda came out of nowhere, on a Saturday evening at like 12 midnight. Like always, I’m always thinking of what to talk about here or give suggestions on movies and I only had maybe 2-3 ideas on my little whiteboard that I was thinking of. And I think I must have been scrolling … Continue reading Favorites: One Offs
Judging a VHS Tape by its Cover
For those who are not aware, I’ve been on a reading journey for 2023. It started in 2022 but we’re full throttle now. And something came to mind in the middle of the night to come up with this idea. When I go thrifting or book hunting in general, it’s always about the cover. Granted … Continue reading Judging a VHS Tape by its Cover
