I’m sure there are many people that avoid sad movies the same way they avoid horror movies; they don’t want to cry or be scared. In its face, that seems reasonable, but is probably not healthy to hide from uncomfortable things completely. Whether it’s being scared or crying uncontrollably, as many of the following movies …
I’ve never seen a movie so completely and totally fucked by its trailer. It’s rare these days that movie trailers don’t spoil important plot points, if not give away the entire movie. An even worse sin is to spin a movie to appear as something it’s not. Before we go any further, watch the trailer: …
As the internet does so well, it’s full of black and white hot-takes and very little nuance and context. It’s odd that people are shocked by PlayStation’s announcement that they’re ending physical media, cause I was already late to the game on discussing my opinion about this back in 2024! I’m by no means Nostradamus …
In a word, Obsession is universal, but for studios thinking they can capture and repackage that formula, that’s not enough on its own. Cliché and unoriginal are often considered harsh criticisms, but that’s only when done poorly. Clichés are great in storytelling, when done well. Wish Wishing someone loved you is about as universal as …
“Witch has whole town under spell, as she takes victims the town’s people see this as a sitcom on their home television thinking nothing of it. Only a few are not fooled by this spell.” So what, I’m just describing the plot of WandaVision, right? Actually no, this was a completely original idea I came …
You almost certainly have seen one of these die-cut, jointed skeleton decorations on someone’s door at some point in your life, if you don’t own one yourself. There are many like it, but the one you’re probably most familiar with is the Beistle design (seen below). While I love this classic design, there is one …
It’s been a while, but I’ve dusted off the old Horror Shirts site and will start designing new shirts again soon. My favorite so far is “Old Jack” sourced from an old public domain ad. All shirts are only $15 + Free Shipping on Amazon. Buy on Amazon
I don’t know what it is about constraint that makes it such a powerful breeding ground for creativity, but it’s just pure magic. Halloween and The Blair Witch Project are considered by most horror fans to be some of the greatest horror movies ever made, and the one thing they have in common is scrappy, …

Update, here it is… Zombies have made a massive comeback over the past 15 years, and while I like all kinds of zombies, the slow-moving zombies of Romero’s films will always be the most interesting to me. The Stillness is a short film, written and directed by Jackson Monks and Hunter Hieatt, and also stars …
