When it comes to horror it seems as if it has been dissected and bisected and pulled apart and examined under the brightest lights. Every movie that comes out is part of a subgenre or a subsubgenre. It falls into this category or is dropped into that bucket. When it comes to horror, we fans… Continue reading They’re Dead, They’re All Messed Up

The Doom Of Geekdom
I was a STAR WARS kid growing up. I had the toys, I loved the movies, and I imagined that universe and its people all of the time. I wondered what Episodes 1, 2, and 3 might be (since we started, it turned out, with part 4) and wondered where it’d all lead. I don’t… Continue reading The Doom Of Geekdom
The It’s Not Fair Party
It’s strange to see so many adults acting like children but here we are. Welcome to 2023. It seems silly to read about fellow Americans wanting to expand the footprint of their state because others in their party that live in the neighboring state feel disenfranchised. It seems ridiculous to read about a governor so… Continue reading The It’s Not Fair Party
Who Have You Become
It occurred to me today that I am not sure how the teenage me would react to the middle aged me. I wondered how the kids I was friends with would see me. I wondered how the friends I had even in my twenties that I may not have now would see me. Who have… Continue reading Who Have You Become

While this is not really found footage I am calling it that because of the style and presentation. It’s wearing… Continue reading NIGHTLIGHT – “found footage”/POV movie review

The Revenge Tour
Legislation via revenge. Leadership through grudge. I can’t say that I saw that as where our politics were heading but here we are. We are at the point where people want into politics not to lead, not to give back, heck, not even just to be rich and powerful but to track down their enemies… Continue reading The Revenge Tour
Dreams Without Dreamers
I talked in another blog about the fact that so many, too many, of us have had their dreams denied by systems they had nothing to do with putting in place and with barriers neither they nor their families helped to build.The world was against them because of their skin color, religion, sexuality, income level,… Continue reading Dreams Without Dreamers
Slashing
Despite the side eyed looks the films in the slasher subgenre get, these are some of the most fun, and most daring of the horror film genre. At their worst they are pure popcorn fun. Prudish fantasies full of sex and violence that are clumsily warning teens against the sins of flesh. At their highest… Continue reading Slashing
Books For Everyone
When I started writing I was writing for myself, and while I still do that I have found over the years that I am writing things for everyone by writing for me, and as such, HEY, I am writing books for you. Over the years I stretched myself, letting myself not just be a 'horror… Continue reading Books For Everyone
