All Through the House Review: An Early Christmas Present for Horror Fans

Today is Nov 25th. In this, the year 2016, that means it’s Black Friday…which also represents the beginning of the holiday season. It’s inescapable. Christmas lights will be strewn about, shopping mall Santas will be bringing children to fits of panic, and the Hallmark channel will be running non-stop Christmas films (all of which my

Through the Cracks: Thanksgiving Edition — Blood Rage

Sometimes a film goes unnoticed for far too long. Few people discuss it or even seem to be aware of its existence. As an avid horror fan, I make it my goal to track down as many obscure flicks as I possibly can. I feel as if I’ve seen it all, but luckily, every now

Film Review: The Monster

Personally, there is nothing I love more than a good “creature feature”. The Universal Monsters kick started the genre way back when and ever since we have seen it grow into a massive subset filled with all different kinds of movies. Ranging from crazy expensive studio blockbusters to tiny indie horror films with little to

Layers of Fear: Like Going Inside a Nightmare on Elm Street Film

With the game Layers of Fear, I think outside of there being VR support for the game (Update!) or maybe a sequel some time in the future, this is perhaps the closest anyone will ever get to feeling the experience of living a Nightmare movie. This game is crammed full of amazing visuals, creative scares,

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

Adoration for Nightmare 4

What hasn’t been said about the fourth Nightmare? It’s certainly the “MTV Nightmare,” drenched in a 1980s timestamp that can’t be ignored. One would argue this is when Mr. Krueger jumped the shark and became an icon for one-liners and pop culture references for horror, before Charles Lee Ray took up that mantle. Freddy mania

Witching & Bitching: An Underrated Gem for the Halloween Season

If you are like me, you spend a good chunk of October looking for new and unique movies that will get you into the holiday spirit. A few years back I came across an intriguing, fairly new film from Spain called Witching & Bitching. The title alone drew me in, though I thought it could
