The OA is a Masterpiece in its Vision

When I say “The OA is a Masterpiece in its Vision” as opposed to simply “The OA is a Masterpiece,” I choose those words very carefully. Even though I personally consider it to be a masterpiece, I can’t tell you, the reader, that it’s a masterpiece to you or as some objective, universal truth. However,

Real Nightmares: A Rat in the Desert

Yesterday I shared with you all a recurring nightmare I had a few years back that truly terrified me. It was one of those dreams you never forget and definitely never shake, but today I wanted to share a different kind of nightmare I used to have a regular basis. Much like with horror movies,

Beautiful and Terrifying: Westworld

Having already seen the Westworld movie, I was privy to the premise and very excited for the television series. However, even with my high expectations, they’ve still been blown away. Although the exploration of artificial intelligence is well-covered in science fiction at this point, they appear to be pushing for something even greater and more

Yes! Ash vs Evil Dead’s First Army of Darkness Reference!

Like most Evil Dead fans, as awesome as the news was that Ash’s legacy would finally continue in the form of a TV show Ash vs Evil Dead, it was a little bittersweet for me that because of legal issues, Army of Darkness had to essentially be ignored in the storyline’s continuation. However, since a

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

The Exorcist (TV) — When Creators Actually Care

So far, I have to say that I’ve been very pleasantly surprised at how good the new Exorcist TV show has been. I think after years of disappointment, most of us have conditioned ourselves to go into adaptations, remakes, sequels, or prequels of works we love without any expectations. That’s certainly the golden rule that

Scream Queens 2.02 “Warts and All” Review

Scream Queens returned last night to reveal Chanel #5’s fate, and…she’s fine. I told you so. Unfortunately, no one believes her story despite the proof of werewolf girl’s decapitated head (though the rest of her body has magically disappeared) and green ooze footprints up and down the hall. The detective on the case decides they

Horror, but Not Horror: Gotham

While Gotham is only listed as being Action, Crime, and Drama on IMDb, I have no issue calling it Horror. In fact, I would very much argue that there are more elements of horror in Gotham than any other genre. Apparently taking a few notes from Hannibal, nearly every new episode of Gotham has us

Scream Queens 2.01 “Scream Again” Review

When Scream Queens premiered last year, it was after a heavy marketing push and a lot of fanfare. It was the newest show from mastermind Ryan Murphy, the man who brought us the hits Glee and American Horror Story. He’d even managed to snag the OG scream queen herself, Jamie Lee Curtis (Laurie Strode from

Romantic for Time Travel

I get very very excited about time travel in any medium of storytelling. It’s one of my greatest real life fantasies to one day travel in time, but also a terrifying prospect. It’s difficult to put words to the excitement, but my blood pressure rises and I feel a rush while at the same time
