Recommendation: Children’s book ‘Maury The Miserable Vampire’
Monster Families As a parent and horror fan, I feel it’s my duty to pass along traditions, knowledge, toys, and a general love for the spooky soaked world to my kids: Milo (6) and Ash (4). And so far, so good. Allow me to ramble for a moment. Children are basically little monsters themselves. They’re… Read More ›

Reanimated Review: ‘Stag Night of the Dead’
On November 11, 2010, I posted my first ever review on our old blog. It was 2010’s Stag Night of the Dead, directed by Neil Jones, which we watched by way of a screener link. I felt like I should preserve it on our current site. I haven’t seen the film since, but you know…. Read More ›
BP Podcast, Episode 26: “A Couple of ‘Chainsaw’ Revisits”
After a little time off, we’re back! And for this episode, we revisit two random-ass franchise movies: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994) and Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013). One we didn’t dig when we first watched it and one we didn’t remember a damn thing about. And the re-viewing results are interesting! We also pay our respects… Read More ›
Virgin Fangs: My First Viewing of Lugosi’s ‘Dracula’
Watching the original Dracula for the first time in 2017 feels a bit absurd. But that’s the way it is. I’d never seen the movie before. Although when you put together every famous scene and still involving Bela Lugosi’s Dracula, I may as well have seen the whole film in pieces. One of the biggest… Read More ›
Horror Short Review: ‘Your Date is Here’ (2017)
Confession: I don’t often watch short films. And, really, there is zero reason behind it. Shorts are brisk, to the point, and I swear every time I see one, I am reminded that I need to watch more. This is such the case with 2017’s Your Date is Here, written and directed by Zak White and Todd Spence…. Read More ›

Movies We Love: Kong: Skull Island (2017)
Back in 1997, I went to see Titanic. I wasn’t expecting much…I mean, I already knew how it would end, right? Well, it wound up being a film that sat with me for days, maybe even weeks. Now, at that time I was a 19-year-old kid that watched slasher movies and Mallrats on repeat. I… Read More ›

Join us this week as we celebrate Valentine’s Day! We chat up the original ’81 slasher My Bloody Valentine, its worthy ’09 remake, and a bunch of other standard (and not) Valentine’s Day viewing traditions. Ahem, sexy thrillers.
