Continue reading →: The Boogens (1981)
Honestly, if I have to sell you on a movie called The Boogens, you and I are already two very different people… Before I get started, though, some backstory. When I was younger, I got most of my movies from the local grocery store. They had a little video section…

Continue reading →: Tables of Contents, and the Contents Thereof
May has been a crazy month, and as I sit here on the last day of it, I realize that in all the craziness I let a couple of tables of contents announcements featuring stories of mine go by without comment here (though I talked about them enough on social…

When Frankensteinia announced their Peter Cushing Centennial Blogathon, I knew that I would have to do something to participate, even though I also knew that May was going to be the busiest month I’ve had in, I dunno, maybe ever. But what could I do with my limited time and…

Continue reading →: Peter Cushing Blogathon Day One
As you’ve probably already seen if you follow me on any kind of social media, they’re hosting a Peter Cushing Centennial Blogathon over at the great Frankenstein ‘blog Frankensteinia. A few years ago I participated in their Boris Karloff Blogathon and head a really good time. Those entries, unfortunately, are…

And I’m back from the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and my trip to Portland. It was, in short, breathtaking, at least once literally, as I am apparently very, very allergic to something that was up near Pittock Mansion. I took a few pictures, which I’ll probably post, at least to…

This time next week, I’ll be winding down my first H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival! Where I will be seeing, among other things, the Cabal Cut of Nightbreed, which I am saying less to make you all jealous and more to make it real for myself because I am that excited. Seriously, I…

My new favorite thing is listening to commentary tracks while I cook or wash dishes. It requires the exact right amount of my attention, and I can kind of see the TV from the kitchen, so I can look up occasionally to get my bearings. Recently, I was listening to…

Continue reading →: Two Monsters
When I was very young (around 7, if I’m doing my math properly) I caught a few episodes of a syndicated horror anthology show called Monsters that I had to stay up late to watch. I don’t remember how many episodes of it I actually saw, but I know that I saw…

Continue reading →: John Dies at the End (2012)
Man, I do not envy the people who were actually getting paid to write a coherent review of John Dies at the End. It seems like a difficult and ultimately unrewarding undertaking. This probably won’t be one. Almost immediately upon mentioning that I was seeing it, I was asked what my…

Everyone reading this already knows that Halloween is my favorite holiday, right? And that the worst day of the year, at least in some respects, is November 1st, because it means the longest possible time until more Halloween. Well, it’s not quite two Halloweens in a year, but there’s apparently…
