Lights Out–Overcoming Darkness
Call it the potato chip effect. If one is delicious, fifty must be amazing. Or maybe you could label it the exercise effect. If running three miles is healthy, running fifty must be exponentially more invigorating. And you could most certainly call it the horror movie effect. If the first one was good, the… [Read More]
Salem’s Lot, Cat’s Eye & It: Three King Flicks About Losing Innocence
Crisp evenings. Bonfires. Pumpkin spice euphoria. And horror. These are the caveats that perfect Autumns are made of. And the good news for Stephen King fans is that they won’t have to wait until Halloween to get their fill of fall fright. In fact, the season sees not one, not two, but a trifecta of… [Read More]
The Conjuring 2: The Power of Faith, the Strength of Family
Perhaps the only thing more unstoppable than a horror movie villain is a horror movie sequel. Since 1935’s The Bride of Frankenstein, Hollywood has proven that you can’t contain evil in only ninety minutes of celluloid. But out of the hundreds of sequels, only a handful rival their source material. Still, every now and then,… [Read More]
Deadgirl–Hating What You Do
‘You ever have that one movie that comes so highly recommended and you go into it with such high expectations and a half hour in, you wonder if you’d heard incorrectly and perhaps mistaken it for an entirely different film?

Hayes Twins Conjure Up a Whole New Set of Scares
Finding faith-professing screenwriters in Hollywood is tantamount to discovering a four-leaf clover.

And chances are you’ve seen their work…and likely gotten your pants… [Read More]
Night of the Creeps–Go Ahead and Die Already
If you’ve ever really wanted to create a movie, but wondered if you had the chops; if you’ve ever doubted your ability or means or just figured your idea was a little too over the top–go watch Night of the Creeps. And be inspired. Much like its ancestral stinkers Plan 9 From Outer Space… [Read More]
Friday the 13th–Marginalized Prophets
It’s one of the biggest mysteries about Friday the 13th (no, not how in God’s name did they ever decide to make eleven sequels): why didn’t they call it Mother’s Day? There’s only one passing reference to the date in the film, and that’s because writer/director/producer Sean S. Cunningham remembered at the last second that… [Read More]
Backtrack–When Your Ghosts Come Home
Who knew the dearly departed would be so well put together? Watch just about any horror movie and you’ll see–regardless of the severity of their demise, ghosts almost always look like they just left church or a runway shoot. This week’s psychological shocker, Backtrack, follows suit (and tie). It’s chock full of phantoms and just… [Read More]
