True Blood Season 7, Episode 4: Recap & Thoughts

If you’re a regular reader of my weekly True Blood recaps here on HL, then surely you’ve caught onto the fact by now that I haven’t thus far been a big fan of the show’s seventh and final season. Quite frankly, the first three episodes of Season 7 just plain bored me, with little happening

True Blood Season 7, Episode 3: Recap & Thoughts

Well, it looks like the Modus operandi of True Blood‘s final season is going to be unceremonious character deaths, and since last night’s was so major, it seems only right that we kick off this week’s episode discussion by jumping right in.

Noseybonk Will Eat Your Soul! (And Educate Your Children)

So, you’re probably wondering who the freak is in the picture above, wearing a smart evening tails suit, bow tie, white gloves and a nightmare inducing mask. A serial killer from a new found-footage horror film? A long forgotten maniac from a low budget early 80s slasher? A rejected costume concept for the Scream movies?

British TV Reveals a New Home for Some Truly Iconic Horror Movie Poster Art!

British TV on a sleepy Sunday afternoon rarely features programming that attracts my attention, but this week a little piece of iconic horror history suddenly appeared on the screen and it was fascinating to watch what happened next. Channel 4 in the UK has a programme called Four Rooms, (which I believe is also produced
