Dexter’s Blood Slides

Forensic analyst by day and serial killer by night, Dexter murders evil criminals who slip through the cracks of Miami’s defective judicial system. He then places a drop of their blood on a glass slide and tucks it away in his slide box. Create your own “trophy case” of edible slides this Halloween with this

The Most Awesome Images Found on Social Media: 10/13-10/17

We’ve reached the end of another week – thank god! – which means it’s time to once again take a look at the coolest, weirdest and/or most awesome images that I’ve stumbled across on social media this past week. So let’s get right to it, shall we?! In preparation for The Walking Dead‘s fifth season

The Walking Dead Season 5 Premiere: Recap and Thoughts

Intensity. Action. Drama. Horror. Extreme gore. CRAZY. ASS. ZOMBIES. These are just a handful of things we’ve come to expect from The Walking Dead, the reigning king of horror television whose feet, perhaps now more than ever, all of us fans should be bowing before and kissing.

Halloween TV Specials: Halloween is Grinch Night

There are a few traditions that are an essential part of my annual Halloween experience, which include drinking enough pumpkin beer to turn part-gourd and, of course, carving at least one terrible looking jack o’lantern that just begs to be smashed on my porch by trick or treaters who don’t appreciate the finer things in

One of the strongest aspects of The Strain‘s inaugural season has been the decades-spanning story of good vs. evil, reflected in the relationship between Abraham Setrakian and The Master’s right hand man, Thomas Eichorst. If Eichorst is Dracula then Setrakian is Van Helsing, and it’s of course no coincidence that the latter shares a first

The Strain Season 1, Episode 11: Recap and Thoughts

If Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights has an attraction themed after The Strain next year, I’m willing to bet it’ll be largely based on this past Sunday night’s eleventh episode, which finally took the main characters down into the subway tunnels and put Eph face-to-face with The Master. Horror was primarily the name of the

MST3K

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a special slice of nostalgia for me. What I loved as a child I can even appreciate more as an adult, considering I actually get a lot of the references and jokes this time around. Many of the episodes can be found on Netflix and a good handful of them
