This is Just a Movie…
Cursed Films Review
A huge part of growing up as a horror fan is word of mouth. Someone you know told you about a film that they randomly came across and insisted you also just have to see it. Sometimes, along with information about the particular film itself, came some interesting tidbits about something that may have happened on set, something that happened to a cast or crew member, etc. On occasion, these bits of trivia were just silly occurrences, but other times, [...]
It Was Really Traumatic
Fury of the Demon Review
From time to time, I like to take breaks from watching traditional films and focus more on documentaries. I watched and reviewed one last week and I have been checking some out on Netflix as well. Luckily, I also happened to have another one, unwatched, right on my shelf with tons of other still sealed flicks. There was not better time than tonight to watch Fabian Delage’s Fury of the Demon.
The Plot
It is said that there is [...]
Real Clowns Are Not Scary
Wrinkles the Clown Review
I was an 80’s baby, which means I was still fairly young when the internet really started to boom. Even still, I’ve never been up on all of these viral sensations, creepypastas, or whatever else you want to call them. Apparently there is one so effective it deserves a documentary exploring its lore. I’m referring to Wrinkles the Clown and the documentary by Michael Beach Nichols.

Parents in Florida can hire Wrinkles the Clown to scare their children [...]
Right to the Edge of Your Seat
Scary Stories Review
When I was younger, I was terrified of almost everything. I would have nightmares more often than not and was even frightened of my own toys at times. The My Buddy doll that somewhat resembles Chucky comes to mind. Still, whenever the opportunity to share ghost stories with my brother, sisters, and cousins presented itself, I grew excited and couldn’t wait to hear what we could cook up. In addition, I’d love to have my older sister read various tales [...]
They’re A Special Breed
Danger God Review
A few months back, Quentin Tarantino released a film which starred Brad Pitt as a stunt man and double to a famous actor. Pitt’s character was a bit over the top at times, but believe it or not, his Cliff Booth was an amalgamation of a few different real-life individuals. One of these badass individuals was prolific actor and stunt man, Gary Kent, whose life and career is showcased in Joe O’Connell’s documentary, Danger God.

He Had 900 Teeth
Master of Dark Shadows Review
Growing up, I was never a fan of documentaries. I’m not sure if I had some sort of aversion to learning new things or just found them boring. All I know is the mere mention of a documentary and I was immediately turned off to the entire viewing experience. Fast forward to now and I can’t get enough of these bad boys. My favorite, of course, being anything to do with the horror genre. Today, I had the pleasure of [...]
