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... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →

I’m talking about 1973’s (released in 74) The House of Seven Corpses. Not to be confused with House of 1000 Corpses (Zombie)... Continue Reading →
2019 was the year of first watching for me. Movies you have heard of but never saw, releases of new, older classics, I pushed myself out of a “comfort zone” and watched films I never thought I’d get the chance to see. Thanks to Prime, Shudder, my ever growing collection in horror media (dvds, vhs),... Continue Reading →
October 2019 was the month of watching a lot of classic or unconventional horror but I wanted to share the films I watched and enjoyed this October. I didn’t do 31 films, I did not have time for that with my work schedule so I tried squeezing in as much as I could. These are... Continue Reading →
