From a Driveway Haunted House to a Map of Halloween Events

When I was a kid, my family drove out to the pumpkin farm every year and hunted for the biggest pumpkin we could find. I mean massive. Then came the best part: carving it with an electric saw, because a knife wasn’t going to cut it. People walked up to see it. A few years …

Bringing Felipe Femur & Friends Back from the Dead

More than a decade ago, my twin brother Russell and I started building a strange little monster world around a friendly skeleton named Felipe Femur. Felipe lived in a town called Toonstone, surrounded by monsters who were usually terrible at being what monsters were supposed to be. There was Gummy, a werewolf with no teeth. …

The Saddest Movies of All Time

I’m sure there are many people that avoid sad movies the same way they avoid horror movies; they don’t want to cry or be scared. In its face, that seems reasonable, but is probably not healthy to hide from uncomfortable things completely. Whether it’s being scared or crying uncontrollably, as many of the following movies …

We Bury the Dead is an Excellent Movie that was Betrayed by its Trailer

I’ve never seen a movie so completely and totally fucked by its trailer. It’s rare these days that movie trailers don’t spoil important plot points, if not give away the entire movie. An even worse sin is to spin a movie to appear as something it’s not. Before we go any further, watch the trailer: …

The Truth About Physical Media: The End of an Era

As the internet does so well, it’s full of black and white hot-takes and very little nuance and context. It’s odd that people are shocked by PlayStation’s announcement that they’re ending physical media, cause I was already late to the game on discussing my opinion about this back in 2024!

I Finally Watched Obsession and I Think I Know Why it Went Viral

In a word, Obsession is universal, but for studios thinking they can capture and repackage that formula, that’s not enough on its own. Cliché and unoriginal are often considered harsh criticisms, but that’s only when done poorly. Clichés are great in storytelling, when done well. Wish Wishing someone loved you is about as universal as …

What Happened to Nightmare Creatures III?

I have a very specific memory of renting Nightmare Creatures from a video store in Salem on a Friday night in the fall of 1997. I remember the box art. I remember the way the PlayStation loaded it. I remember the first time a creature lunged out of the London fog at Father Ignatius Blackward …
