It’s 2am, you’re wide awake despite feeling tired ALL day long, and no matter what you do your damn eyes will just not stay shut! We’ve all been there right? When this happens I normally sit in the dark and do some good old fashioned web surfing. All social media is closed down and I …
When I was a kid there were many things I wanted to be when I grew up: Astronaut, archaeologist, veterinarian, comic book artist, British secret agent, post-apocalyptic wasteland survivor!

Ok, before we get started there’s something I need to make clear – I don’t DO Lego, and haven’t touched the stuff since I was about seven years old. Even then I mostly ignored it and filled my time with other interests and activities. Not because I had a short attention span as a kid …

He’s one of the best writers in the digital realm and I’m constantly thrilled to be working alongside him here at Halloween Love – I am of course talking about Mr John Squires. A few days ago John participated in a fun horror movie Q&A that’s been floating around online, and part of the process …
What do YOU consider to be the most memorable and iconic moment in horror movie history? Jack Torrance looking through the broken door? Michael watching Laurie walk home from school?
