Looking back, it seems that The Purge was almost destined to be a disappointment to horror fans, who surely went into it under the somewhat false pretense that absolutely all hell was going to break loose, and that dozens of bodies would be hitting the floor. The reason for this is of course the futuristic …
When presented with the idea of writing about my favorite horror film of all time, I must admit some hesitance on my part. How can you ever do it justice and really explain why it gets you all warm and fuzzy inside? But, being a gal who is almost always up for a challenge, welcome …
I loved the Ghostbusters! … The movies, the cartoon, the toys, the merchandise, all of it. Looking back it felt like you couldn’t open a magazine or enter a shop without seeing something associated with it for a few glorious years back in the 1980s. I have a hobby that perfectly reveals just how much …
It’s not often that I fall in love with a movie based solely on the title. But there are exceptions to that rule.

For me, that movie is 1995’s Ice Cream Man. Ice Cream Man stars the always loveable Clint …
Here we go with the third part of what will hopefully become a 100% complete visual guide to every character and actor who has died at the hands of the legend that is Jason Voorhees. Jason Takes Manhattan got the treatment first Here. Then we moved onto Part 7: The New Blood Here. Getting on …
