Crime Chronicles: Lucy Letby
I wasn't planning to write about this - especially not as part of the Crime Chronicles series - but there's something that's been bugging me and I have to get it off my mind before I go bonkers...well, more bonkers than I am already.

Dead Space (2008) Still Looks Good!
I'd been hearing the hype around the Dead Space for years. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, I finally pulled the proverbial trigger and picked up the original trilogy. With that in mind, and considering that the first game recently got a remake, I wanted to share my thoughts on those games.

AO Archives: Midnight Ride
Well, it's time for another edition of AO Archives. Last time we discussed the game Lustful Valley. If you remember that review, you'll remember I wasn't overly keen on it. It looked nice, sure, and the premise was good, but there was a lot of wasted potential there. It probably wasn't the best starting point to this project but it got the ball rolling and lined up our second entry - Midnight Ride.

Resident Evil (2002 Remake)
Resident Evil. That's a name that strikes fear and admiration in horror gamers worldwide. The franchise has been going for close to 30 years and, despite a few missteps, has shown little sign of slowing down. That said, my first introduction to the Resident Evil franchise was through Paul Anderson's film series and not through the games themselves.

Horror Classics: Dracula's Daughter (1936)
To say that 1931's Dracula was influential would be an understatement of note. There are still films being made about him and bearing his name in their titles. With that in mind, I thought we'd take a look at the first sequel to the 1931 film - Dracula's Daughter.

Crime Chronicles: The Seduction of Mary Robinson
A few weeks ago I re-discovered a book I'd read several years back called The Chronicle of Crime. It's a collection of news stories spanning 193 years from 1800 - 1993. As I opened the book for the first time in years I found a story that I thought would make a great starting point for a new project...I seem to have a lot of projects here on Vocal.

Horror Classics: Dracula (1931)
When it comes to vampires, there are few who are as well-known as Dracula. The king of vampires has been thrilling literary audiences since his creation back in 1897. Film audiences have also seen their share of the Count. With some 200+ films to his name dating back to Nosferatu - 1922's unauthorized adaptation of the novel.

Tomb Raider II: A Great Sequel
A while back I reviewed the original Tomb Raider and I loved it! Now, while it took a while longer, the logical next step was to review the second game in the series - Tomb Raider II: Starring Lara Croft. The reason this review took a bit longer to get to is that I had a few...let's call them missteps, along the way.

Horror Classics: Nosferatu
I've said it before, but I love old horror movies. I cut my proverbial teeth on a lot of the old Hammer films - that's how this series got its start after all. As 2022 nears its end, however, I wanted to add a special title to the series: Nosferatu. Why is Nosferatu special? Well, it's 100 years old!

Horror Classics: The Fearless Vampire Killers
The Fearless Vampire Killers is one of those films that, depending on your point of view, is either a masterpiece or a waste of time. With that in mind, I thought it'd be a good addition to the Horror Classics series - especially considering how serious the previous films were.

5 Underappreciated Western Films II
We're approaching the 20th installment of the Underappreciated Films series and I've got something special planned for that when it happens. For now, though, I wanted to revisit a favorite genre - westerns. With that in mind, saddle up boys and girls; this is going to be quite the ride!

Old School Anime Review - Kekko Kamen
This might be the shortest entry into the Old School Anime Reviews series. Kekko Kamen is a 4 episode OVA series that ran from 1991 to 1992. It's based on the manga of the same name. The manga was written by Go Nagai as a joke and parodies Moonlight Mask (Gekko Kamen), a popular Japanese superhero that was on TV at the time. Nagai put it together as a joke and sent it to his editor thinking they'd have a good laugh and move on.
