I'm a long time horror nerd and wannabe director. My inspirations are varied from Wes Craven, Dario Argento, George Romero, Lucio Fulci, John Carpenter, and even some John Waters and Joss Whedon.

I enjoy writing and talking about all aspects of horror. BONUS FACT: I love cooking and eating anything with pumpkin in it.

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.

THE HORROR CLOSET #1 — Musings of a Gay Horror Fiend

I have always been a weird kid. I was different, and my schoolmates never missed an opportunity to point it out to me. I was chubby, shy, and obsessed with becoming “a star”! I had no idea then, but I was a big ol’ nelly. It wasn’t until much later when I was watching Friday
