I won't keep this long. I'll keep it as brief as possible. This is more of an honest review dump immediately after finishing Stephen King's IT. This is his 22nd book, published in 1986 and has 1,153 pages. And from the beginning to the end, I felt so many things. I gave his book a …

The Fashionable World of Vampires: An Essay
It is a way to identify a character, a feeling, a story. What did you feel when you saw Darth Vader for the first time on screen? He’s shrouded in white, blinding fog, emerging out from the background into the foreground wearing all black and it’s reflective and he’s imposing and he’s terrifying and he’s …

The Form is a Book, the Art is Horror
If I showed you this cover, what would you think? As someone who has been reading books since the end of 2022, mostly horror, the cover of any book is important. You may not read the back first but the cover will tell YOU whether or not it’s worth investing. And like with eating, we …
Double Feature Review: The Boogens (1981) & Night of the Comet (1984)
This was not planned! I had another idea I was planning on doing but I basically missed the entire first day to get started on it (aka Monday, went out for 3 hours to do errands and got exhausted) and with Tuesday, I know I don’t have enough time to research and go looking through …

Book Review: Spectre (1988)
This is the book that started it all.In 2022, I went down a little rabbit hole of bookstagram or booktube and I had accumulated quite a few horror books in my collection but never read. Well, that all changed. And this is the first book that I started and finished in September and I wish …
High School Horror (2003-2006)
It’s 2003 and I’m entering high school. What was happening in 2003? I was watching The WB and America’s Next Top Model (what an awful show looking back) and enjoying Power Rangers Ninja Storm (I still think that’s a great PR season). It’s also a time when for me, horror was a bit more “mainstream” …
Book Review: Five Nights at Freddy’s “The Silver Eyes” Trilogy
I am a fan of FNAF aka Five Nights at Freddy’s. I’ve been a fan for quite some time. If I had to throw in a year, maybe around 2018? 2019? 2017? It’s clearly before the pandemic and so I’ve seen a lot of the fandom change and grow or shrink depending on what’s happening. …

Technology & Horror
I’m shocked I haven’t touched on this topic. It’s something that has been on the list of topics to do for so long that I kinda forgot about it. Oops. In a time where we depend so much on technology and it changes so fast overnight, we’ve seen more horror films use technology as the …
Stephen King’s The Stand: Book (1978) vs Miniseries (1994)
Ohhhh I’ve been dreading this one. And not for bad reasons but overwhelmed reasons? Look, we’re talking about Stephen King and his works and those can be a manifesto type of situation but we don’t have time for that! I’ll say up front, last read, picked up a few new thrifted books and one was …

Retro Rundown: Goosebumps “It Came from Beneath the Sink” Episode

Here we do underrated, color theory, cinematography focused posts, book reviews, movie reviews, watchlist and one of my personal favorites, retro rundown. And that’s what we’re doing today.
