In celebration of Samhain, a lot of horrorphiles have turned to lining up epic lists of 31 horror films for all 31 days of October.

Ouija: Origin of Evil — Film Review

Two years ago a horror movie called Ouija was released into theaters, it was met with a heavy negative critical response so I never saw it. The movie made ten times its budget back in the U.S. alone, however, so a sequel was inevitable. Thankfully, that’s all you as an audience need to know going

Scream Queens 2.03 “Handidates” Review

It’s been a painfully long two weeks since we last took a dive into the lady pond that is Scream Queens. We pick up right where we left off with the Chanels accusing #5 of killing her newest boyfriend. Before they can really get too far into the blame game, Dr. Munsch shows up to

Vestron Video Collector’s Series: Waxwork

Rarely do I come upon something that inspires the word neato, but this definitely qualifies. I really love the clash of old and new, especially in technology. Like when an old, forgotten movie is restored and transferred (and really saved from the vaults) in hi-res to Blu-ray. And regardless of the logistics of making a
