3 AM (Pt. 2)
"Now remember kids if anyone offers you drugs, say 'thank you,' because drugs are expensive!" Piere "Why did you screw it up?" Dyll questioned as I ran homewards. Kissing Bonnie was the worst thing that I had ever done to our friendship. "Turn around, you're messing it all up!" Dyll redirected my body towards Bonnie's house.

“Erotic Nightmares, Beyond Any Measure…” Femininity in 'Rocky Horror:' Fetishes, Demons, and Subhumans
Throughout the history of theater, femininity as presented on stage and on camera is a concept which has transformed significantly over time, alongside the ever-changing writing and performing of theater. Because the theatrical representation of femininity is rooted in a time when performance was exclusive to male actors, female characters in theater all began with a representation of femininity that some scholars say is ingenuine, while other scholars say is queer in the sense of nonconformity. When those perceived as women were banned from performing on the stage in the early ages, it is likely that most actors were male-identified; however, it is also impossible to know the true gender diversity that existed among actors who were perceived as men playing women’s roles.

3 AM (Pt. 1)
"Running away will never make you free!" Cybil " There's a new patient coming in next week," G whispered as she pretended to give me my medicine. She knew that I wouldn't take it and I knew that I didn't need it. I didn't need this cure for wellness shoved down my throat every day.

'Halloween' (2018)
He’s no longer dormant.He only knows how to keep moving and to keep killing.And he will kill again unless he’s captured. Exactly 40 years ago the film Halloween, directed by John Carpenter, was released. A milestone in the slasher genre. It was in this film that Laurie Strode (a very young Jamie Lee Curtis) escaped from the psychopath Michael Myers in the nick of time. And so the legend about Myers arose. And now, 40 years later, the followup appears. To my surprise, this is already the 11th movie in the Halloween universe. No idea what happened in the other episodes because I never bothered to watch them. And even though I feared this would simply be a continuation of the same concept (and it sure is) and that I would have a “haven’t-I-seen-this-before” feeling, I have to admit it. I kind of liked this movie.

'Velvet Buzzsaw' (2019) Review (Spoilers)
Velvet Buzzsaw is a movie that popped out of nowhere and had many people excited when first announced in January. What many thought would be an intense gripping thriller is more of a work of satire than a horror movie of any sorts. Though the movie has thriller/horror concepts and scenes it never truly feels like that's what the film is supposed to be.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Train to Busan' (2016)
You know, I have to say, I was expecting this to be the next movie on the zombie bandwagon with a typical "cookie-cutter plot." I was expecting just your typical zombie movie in another language. That, in of itself, would have been fine. But I'm just so fucking sick of the typical zombie movie. Nothing has really impressed me since the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Which, by the way, is my all-time favorite zombie movie and number five on my all time favorite horror movie list. I needed Train to Busan to deliver in a serious way... and it fucking did.

The Dead Do Not Forget
The Twisted Lusco Life Life is taken, not given. That lesson was learned brutally as her hand slipped beneath the glossy surface of the lake. The passing of his mother into the cold clutches of Mistress Death brought a sneering smile to his face. Jer Bear watched, satisfied with the day's work. As he lay bleeding on the damp leaves surrounding the isolated body of water, the small boy took a moment to admire his handy work.

Cyber Scares
Since the turn of the decade, there has been an influx of social media-themed horror films—some decent, some outright awful—that were designed to take an internet-dependent audience and use that dependency against them in the pursuit of spooks.

Movie Review 'Devil's Path' Is a Throwback Drive in Thriller
Devil’s Path is the kind of old school, grind house, chase in the woods thriller Hollywood doesn’t know how to make anymore. A throwback to the bloody, drive in thrillers of the 1970s, Devil’s Path is a visceral and often disturbing thriller with exceptional characters and a killer pace. Actor turned first time director Matthew Montgomery directs Devil’s Path and delivers a stunner of a debut feature.

Read This Before You Die
I sit alone in my apartment, eating a bowl of some kind of cereal. I can't really tell the type because it's such an old box. I haven't had my paycheck from my late shift working at the post office yet, so groceries are kind of rare for this week. I'm not really bothered at all.

Poltergeists I Have Known
I own a Ouija Board. I bought it at the behest of a dead woman, naturally. "Jenn" contacted me through automatic writing. Thus, I supposed that there was writing to be accomplished. That was three years ago or better, and I still haven't gotten around to taking dictation for Jenn.
