If you’re not familiar with Scares That Care you really should be. Founded by Joe Ripple in 2011, this incredible non profit is dedicated to fighting real monsters such as childhood illnesses and cancer by helping families financially cope. I first became acquainted with their work almost as soon as they started up and I …
In my years of blogging and writing about horror movies, I’ve learned to separate art from the artist, which is something I always try my best to do. When you become an active part of this community, you get to know people on a personal level, and sometimes it’s admittedly easy to like a movie …
If you took away everything that made Scream the movie that it was, you’d be left with precisely the sort of generic horror movie that Scream was poking fun at, and that’s pretty much the best possible way I can describe the movie I watched tonight. Released at the tail end of last year, that …
I recently turned thirty one years old and while I realize that does not yet qualify me as a senior it does carry a set of expectations. Get a job, have a family, assimilate, etc. I have a nice job, I love my family and I can pretend to be normal(thanks for that, 18 years …

He will always have a special place in the hearts of genre fans for his work writing and acting in the Ghostbusters franchise as Dr. Egon Spengler. Getting his start with SCTV (Canada’s answer to Saturday …
I am a big fan of both Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick. And although Stephen King does not approve of the film adaptation of his story The Shining, many, if not most or all horror fans or movie lovers, buffs, and critics in general, consider it to be a masterpiece, possibly the best horror film …
