Freddy Krueger: The Master of Nightmares
Freddy Krueger is the scariest yet best horror villains of all time. The first movie was made in 1984, which happens to be the same year was born. I saw the movie in 1992. I was 9 years old. I was scared to go to sleep, even scared to go to the bathroom. I think I used the bathroom on myself that night. I have the first Nightmare On Elm Street movie on DVD in my house. I was completely terrified of a man with claws that kills people in their sleep. For some strange reason, at a flea market once, I bought a poster of him. What in the world did I do that for? Every night, I was convinced that he was going to jump out of that poster at any minute.

Review of “Straight Edge Kegger”, Coming Soon to Shudder
The punk rock indie film titled “Straight Edge Kegger”, written and directed by Jason Zink (“Night Terrors” 2014), is slated to drop on Shudder at an unreleased date in 2021, and watchers are in for what other critics are calling “a wild ride”. Rightfully so, the film digs its claws into the straight edge subculture for a raw look at the interpersonal strains of Brad, portrayed by Cory Kays, and the deadly outcome of his choice to leave his militant gang of straight edgers. The 2019 completed thriller film yields comedy and as much heart and grit as it does gut-spilling gore. It’s the film for both dedicated horror audiences, thrill seekers, comedy buffs, and straight edge punks alike. While there’s times that stall, the film has a way of keeping you interested, with some corny humor you’ll laugh at more than you’ll have anticipated. It’s a product of indie filmmaking done right: a structured and believable plot that allows the watcher to watch and enjoy the movie, not notice every time the cinematographer forgot to come to work that day.

Freaky: The Gen Z version of Scream
When Wes Craven released Scream back in 1996, he truly changed the horror genre. After over a decade of slasher movies being overdone and beaten like a dead horse (pun intended), this classic provided a fresh take by providing humor, wit, and self-awareness. While it certainly wasn't the first horror comedy to break the fourth wall, it was effective enough to create a slasher renaissance. The next five years saw a whole slew of Scream copycats that included I Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legends, and Valentine. Even though that hype train has since left the station, Craven's beloved love letter to the horror genre continues to influence some of today's horror movies. Last night, I saw what could possibly be Generation Z's version of Scream. I am, of course, talking about Freaky.

Scream: The Best Horror Series That No One Takes Seriously
What's your favorite scary movie? This is the question that my favorite scary movie begs. With huge stars like Drew Barrymore and Courtney Cox, Scream was bound to be a hit from the beginning. But its star-studded cast isn't the reason that I and so many others go straight for this classic when spooky season starts. Scream is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

‘Freaky’ Review—Bloody Brilliant
Freaky Friday meets Friday the 13th in Blumhouse’s slasher comedy, Freaky. This film comes to us from Christopher Landon, the director of the two Happy Death Day films. While Happy Death Day combined the slasher genre with a Groundhog Day story, this film combines the blood-soaked adrenaline of a slasher film with the hilarity of a body swap movie.

Freaky is a slasher movie parody about a high school nobody named Millie (Kathryn Newton) who is stabbed by a legendary serial killer known as the Blissfield Butcher (Vince Vaughn). But, unbeknownst to both of them, the knife he uses is an ancient Aztec dagger used in blood rituals, and the enchanted blade causes them to switch bodies. Now, Millie (in the Butcher’s body) has just 24 hours to reclaim her own body and stop the Butcher from killing more people in his new disguise.

The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: A creepy episode The Alfred Hitchcock Hour ran from 1962-1965 on CBS. An episode in 1964 titled The Jar was truly suspenseful because it left so much to the imagination.

Billy Barty portrays the carney who entices people to guess what is in the large crockpot size glass container.

Movie Review: 'The Giant' is a Confounding Murder Mystery
The Giant is a baffling mess of arty pretension, horror imagery, and strong intentions ultimately amounting to nothing. This divisive teen horror movie has strong elements including a compelling visual style and a crime story at the heart that should help give shape to the flights of artistic fancy. Unfortunately, The Giant is so muddy, laconic and confounding that it’s difficult to surmise what the actual story of the movie is.
