Movie Review: 'Slender Man' Horror in Truly Bad Taste
As soon as Slender Man cropped up in cinemas in 2018 I was told that I was mistaken for accusing the movie of utilizing the attempted homicide of a young girl to sell the movie. This was when I reviewed the movie on the radio. A fan said that it wasn't consequential by virtue of the story of the movie Slender Man not being the same as the real life tragedy. The action of the film casts the Slender Man as another in a long line vaguely ill-defined supernatural villains such as The Bye Bye Man or whatever the creature was in the Sinister franchise.

Classic Movie Review: 'Night of the Living Dead'
Night of the Living Dead is a flash-point in film history, one of the most successful and influential horror movies of all time. The success of Night of the Living Dead can be credited with the horror boom that followed in the decades after it was released. For the first time, Hollywood executives, especially those in the world of film distribution, were forced to sit up and take notice of the horror genre for the first time since the heyday of the Universal monster movies of the 1930’s.

Okay, Horror Fans, Did You Know The Conjuring 3 Is Coming Out in September?
So, I am a horror fanatic. I love scary movies. I love to have the feeling of being spooked. It gives me an adrenaline rush. My favorite movie in todays time is The Conjuring. I've seen part 1, part 2, and currently waiting for part 3. Now, from what I have heard The Conjuring sequels are based on true stories. I mean real life events. I believe that is why I like it so much. The unimaginable being actually true. How awesome is that. Plus, lets not forget the actors Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are only some of my favorites. They play Ed and Lorraine Warren, the famous paranormal investigators and authors that are linked to the cases of the hauntings.

Come to Daddy (2019)
I once accidentally kicked a guy’s ear off. I didn’t mean to, but the fucker flew off. I could see right into his skull.

Classic Movie Review: The Mummy
Attempts to remake Universal Pictures’ iconic horror movie The Mummy fail repeatedly because they cannot come close to topping the artistry or the popcorn movie excitement of the 1932 original starring Boris Karloff. If I were a filmmaker and my assignment was to make another version of The Mummy I would probably retire and take up another profession because you’re asking me to do the impossible: there will never be another movie like Karloff's The Mummy.

Classic Movie Review: 'Carnival of Souls'
Carnival of Souls is one of the great anomalies in film history. For many reasons, this movie should not have happened and even if it did get made the chances of it being seen by a mass audience and remembered for 50 plus years is some kind of miracle. Carnival of Souls was conceived by a filmmaker from Lawrence, Kansas, Herk Harvey, who had a minuscule budget and zero experience in anything outside of industrial films and educational film strips.

A Short Review of The Lighthouse (2019, Robert Eggers)
I am going to flat out say it. I absolutely adored this film. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but for myself, it was a highly visceral and surreal film with a delightful amount of weirdness, eeriness and atmosphere, which created a perfect blend, that I enjoyed every minute of. For Robert Eggers second directed film, following his highly successful folk horror The Witch (2015, Robert Eggers), it is a truly impressive achievement.

A good woman is hard to find (2019)
Just let sleeping dogs lie. The moment you see Sarah (Sarah “The Lazarus Effect” Bolger) turning the house upside down while looking for batteries for her non-working vibrator and hear her say “Thank you Jesus” a little later with visible relief, it seems as if she’s a completely different character than the woman who came into the picture at the beginning of the film. Admittedly, a woman who still mourns her recently deceased husband. But then without blood splashes in her face and on her body. After seeing “Becky” only recently, “A good woman is hard to find” is yet another revenge film in which a desperate woman takes a thorough revenge on those who made her life a living hell. Not that she suffered physical injuries. But the murder of her husband and the way in which she is treated by society makes sure that it’s best your not going to stand in Sarah’s way. Those who do will experience the painful consequences.

Review of "The Conjuring Universe"
Every horror movie lover has heard or seen the movies of the Universe of “The Conjuring” released by Warner Bros. Pictures and how they are based in real facts... well if you didn’t know that now you know.

Above All Else, ‘Scare Package’ is Extremely Likable
What a FUN movie Scare Package is. Shot by seven different directors, the film is packed with diverse storylines. I am reasonably familiar with the anthology genre, and I like that it is mainly just an innovative way to watch a bunch of interconnected shorts. As far as horror goes, many brilliant films stem from shorts. Think Saw; without its initial short film, we might have never acquired any Saw movies, let alone the eight (nine if you count Spiral: From the Book of Saw) that are now in existence.

Movie Review: 'Devil's Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge'
Trying to bring order to the chaos of Devil’s Night: The Dawn of Nain Rouge is an exhausting task. I am merely being hyperbolic here, but I may actually put more work into sorting out this ludicrous plot than anyone actually involved in the making of Devil’s Night: The Dawn of Nain Rouge. Based around an urban legend in Detroit, with both Native American or, more honestly, racist, origins and supernatural origins, Devil’s Night: The Dawn of Nain Rouge is distilled chaos.

What was Session 9 supposed to be?
Remember this movie? No? That's OK, even the cult following doesn't even know why this meant something. Session 9 was released in 2001, directed by Brad Anderson.
