Alright, listen, creepy old men done correctly are always scary, period! There is nothing more terrifying than a decrepit old man sinisterly smiling at the camera and or protagonist. It’s a bone chilling fear that plays on the comfort we feel with the elderly. Our grandparents are the most loving people in the world, they […]

Book Review: David Castello’s “The Diary of an Immortal”
My reading of David Castello’s “The Diary of an Immortal” was often interrupted by the diction. I felt the writing could have been edited to be more concise. Also, I did not feel a strong sense of individuality between the characters, specifically through their speech. I found the writing to be more show, less tell. […]
Hail to the King, Baby! — A Review of Scream Factory’s ‘Bubba Ho-Tep’ Blu-ray Release!
On August 16th, 1977, at 3:30 pm, Elvis Aaron Presley was pronounced dead. The long time “King of Rock n Roll” had succumb to a heart attack most likely brought on by years of drug abuse. This is the story we’ve all heard, and the one that most believe to this day. But what if […]
Unsung Heroes of Hollywood: The Films of Elizabeth Kaitan
Each month I’m going to take a look at an actor, actress, or filmmaker that I grew up loving and has informed my own career (if calling what I do in the industry qualifies as such) in writing or performing.

Today I’m going to take a look at the Suicide Squad: Extended Cut and perhaps help you decide why the most popular movie on IMDb this year is worth your physical copy purchase. I’d like to start off by saying that I did really enjoy the Theatrical Cut of the film when I saw it […]
Blu-ray Review: “Tales of Halloween” Brings Mixed Bag of Halloween Tricks and Treats
Anthology films have been around since the early thirties. The anthology film has always been something that has peaked my interest, especially in the horror genre. Blame it on a short attention span, but I love the idea of a director telling a complete story in short form. I always feel like you’re getting more […]
