How Much Worse Does It Have To Get Before It Gets Better?

I’m going to be brutally honest. I’m getting very tired of how bad things are getting. And while this might offend some, I think people need to quit letting their faith and religion dictate how things should work. Why can’t people just go to church on Sunday and be the usual hypocrites they were whenContinue reading “How Much Worse Does It Have To Get Before It Gets Better?”

Slasher Horrors Reflected America’s Dark History During 1970s-1980s

Before I begin, again, I want to express my thoughts and condolensces with the people of Maine and what has happened. Sadly, violence has always been a black eye on American history we don’t like to discuss, except in the positive way. We’ve romanticized The Revolutionary War and the Civil War, even though it should’veContinue reading “Slasher Horrors Reflected America’s Dark History During 1970s-1980s”

Better Ways To Spend Two Hours Than ‘Friday Night At Freddy’s’

I never got into the Friday Night at Freddy’s video game, so therefore, I won’t be as disappointed as the numerous fans over the last decade who have been waiting to see it come to screen. I’m sure their disappointment was already expected when they heard it was going to be rated PG-13. Then, UniversalContinue reading “Better Ways To Spend Two Hours Than ‘Friday Night At Freddy’s’”

‘Pet Sematary’ Finds New Life As Horror Classic Decades Later

Before I begin this post, I want to say that I express my thoughts and condolensces to the people of Maine for what has happened this past week. Also, this post will contain some spoilers so if please don’t read any further if you haven’t seen the movie or read the book. Stephen King’s PetContinue reading “‘Pet Sematary’ Finds New Life As Horror Classic Decades Later”

Richard Roundtree Was One Bad Motherf-

To call the first Shaft movie a blaxploitation movie is somewhat of an insult. The word hadn’t been coined yet and it wouldn’t come into the vernacular until late summer of 1972. Shaft told the story of a private detective hired to track down the kidnapped daughter of a Harlem mobster. It’s a crime actionContinue reading “Richard Roundtree Was One Bad Motherf-“

‘Simpsons’ Airs First Treehouse Of Horror On This Date

The Simpsons was an unconventional TV show when it first hit the airwaves. Originally intended as shorts on The Tracy Ullman Show, a sketch variety show, on Fox. The Simpsons had become popular thanks to the Butterfinger commercials and then the 1989 Christmas show which wowed audiences which its crudeness and humor more irreverent thanContinue reading “‘Simpsons’ Airs First Treehouse Of Horror On This Date”

‘Slotherhouse’ One Crazy Movie

A movie as outrageously dumb as Slotherhouse is enjoyable alone for how obvious the filmmakers just didn’t give a fuck but still manage to make a movie enoyable. Set mostly at a sorority house that looks like a secluded mansion on top of a hill (because the movie was filmed in Serbia?!?!), the plot revolvesContinue reading “‘Slotherhouse’ One Crazy Movie”

Slasher Horror Comedy About 1980s Is Almost ‘Totally Killer’

Totally Killer suffers from the same problem most horror-comedies suffer from. It works better as a horror movie than as a comedy. That might be why when Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson were making the Scream movies, they decided to use the comedy sporadically. And you can see the difference in Scream 3 as comparedContinue reading “Slasher Horror Comedy About 1980s Is Almost ‘Totally Killer’”

‘The Boogeyman’ Is Nothing To Be Frightened Of

The Boogeyman is hampered by two huge problems. The first is the PG-13 rating which leaves most of the movie in the dark with scenes that are poorly lit. I guess ever since the ratings board felt that Dee Wallace Stone firing a shotgun at a door in The Frighteners was too intense for aContinue reading “‘The Boogeyman’ Is Nothing To Be Frightened Of”
