Franchise Friday Returns May 22!
TV season is winding down–and you know what this means, right? MORE MOVIES. With a couple of kids and a husband that likes to fall asleep at 9:00 pm, it seems we’re always trying to play catch up on TV–thus, movies are frequently pushed to the back burner. But now… it can be full-time movie watching… Read More ›
Bloody Love is in the Air!
Valentine’s Day is Friday and the internet has me inspired. This week, Facebook and Twitter are all abuzz with romance — chocolate, flowers, champagne and .. zombies. Nothing wrong with that.

Retro Review: Home Sweet Home (1981)
Home Sweet Suck: A Thanksgiving Story A couple years ago, Joanna and I watched a duo of flicks with Thanksgiving as the backdrop. The first was the annual standard Home for the Holidays. The second was a movie that I had been wanting to see for years, and of which I was finally able to procure… Read More ›
Review: Curse of Chucky (2013)
Man, remember when rumors of a new Chucky movie started to surface? Remember how stoked you were when you learned that instead of a remake or reboot, we were getting a new sequel that was part of the original canon? And that Don Mancini was STILL in the director’s chair! A lot of people were… Read More ›
Review: Carrie (2013)
Warning: possible spoilers Remakes. It’s become such a taboo word – especially in the horror world. I’m typically of the mindset that remakes, like all movies, are good, bad or just okay. So, if I have an interest, I’m going to see it. Remake stigma and all! And, Stephen King’s story is great and I’m… Read More ›
Review: Among Friends (2012)
After a much anticipated wait, we finally watched Among Friends, the directorial debut of modern-day scream queen Danielle Harris. It’s without a doubt a near perfect definition of an indie horror film: entertaining and flawed. The story is actually quite fresh and tight-knit. Bernadette (Alyssa Lobit, who also wrote the screenplay) is throwing an 80s-themed murder… Read More ›
Halloween-y Zombie Art
Quick post! Back in 2010, artist Christopher Tupa completed a ‘zombie-a-day’ art project for the 31 days of Halloween. In short, it was awesome and full of retro pop culture goodness. Below are a few of my favorites — but, of course, be sure to check out the full collection. (Keep your fingers crossed that… Read More ›
Review: Excision (2012)
When it came out last year, Excision, by first-time director Richard Bates, Jr., became one of those movies you heard about. Many people compared it to Lucky McKee’s genre fave May (2002) — and why not? They’re both about socially awkward, outcast girls that have an unconventional way of connecting to people — both culminating in some gory results…. Read More ›
