'Well That Was a Mistake'; A Bad Movie Review of 'Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead' (2006, Lloyd Kaufman)
Bad food, zombies, sex, obscene obesity, shit, mindless violence, musical numbers and extremely malicious poultry. Sounds like Mc Donald's on a Friday night, but no it is in fact a brief description of Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006, Lloyd Kaufman).

The Weeping Willow
I awoke to the feel of a gentle caressing touch on my upper back from what felt like tiny and incredibly cold fingertips. It took me a second to pull myself out of the deep sleep I had been in due to the overpowering sleeping pill I had taken only a short few hours ago. As I let my eyes adjust to the dark and regain focus again, I felt those tiny cold fingers glide across my bare shoulder again. I realized my sweet little four-year-old daughter, Tracey, must be up and trying to get my attention.

'Child's Play': A Remake Better Than The Original
The first Child's Play film was released in 1988, I will have been two years old at the time. I think I may have actually seen the first Child's Play film when I was only about five or six, of course not very age appropriate, but its knife-wielding main character is an image from old school horror that remained fixed in my mind for many years. That film was a massive box office success at the time, and in traditional Hollywood fashion, it spawned a total of six movie sequels, and a TV series. Each sequel was of varying quality, but for the most part, you didn't watch these for storyline quality, you watched them because of the absurdity behind the idea of a serial killing doll. The general conceit of how the Good Guy doll came to be a murderous psychopath was that the soul of an actual murderous psychopath was able to possess the body of one of these dolls in order to escape an attacker. So the idea of a remake of the original, only two years after the sixth film in the original series was released (Cult of Chucky), was both interesting, and worrying, for fans.

'Get Out' vs. 'Us:' The Peele-Off
In his short directorial career, comedian Jordan Peele has created two hit horror flicks, namely Get Out (which won an Oscar in 2018 for Best Original Screenplay) and 2019s Us, starring Lupita Nyong’o. Both received critical acclaim and touched on similar topics, but ultimately they are very different beasts. So how do they differ, how are they similar, and what is that special Jordan Peele magic?

The Elevator Game [Podcast]
Elevator to Another World, known colloquially as the Elevator Game, appears to originate on a Korean website some may recognize as the source of a particular comic that pops up every few months or so on sites like Reddit. Unfortunately I don’t speak Korean, so working off of the rough translations found here and here, I’ve tried to tease out a clearer version of the rules and instructions.

Movie Review: 'Dead House' (2014)
Scrolling through Hulu's horror movies, I stumbled upon Dead House (2014), a film directed by Brini Amerigo and produced by Marco Palese. I judged a movie by its cover and assumed that people were going to be trapped in a house full of flesh-eating, bloodthirsty zombies. That was 20 percent of the case, in my opinion.
