I didn’t know where to start with this topic but I think I got it nailed now. But here is the first big question: are you a fan of comics or graphic novels? If so, which ones and why are they your favorite? I ask this because today’s topic is about graphic novels and comics,... Continue Reading →

From the title, you can kind of guess what kind of post this will be about but not. I enjoyed the X Trilogy overall but I definitely felt... Continue Reading →
Art Direction vs Cinematography

With all the movies I’ve watched so far this year and just taking notes of how fun and innovative and exciting horror has been lately (it always has been, even in lull periods) and I just wanted to acknowledge some...

Top 13 Fashion/Costume Moments in Horror
The other day, I was randomly watching the 1971 film “Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb”, a Hammer film production (and I mean I randomly chose this) and while watching it, my eye kept getting caught by the lead character Margaret (played by Valerie Leon) and her purple coat.
