It takes a special sort of insanity to head for the bathroom and the bedroom of America while the world warms, children die hungry, and the populace becomes more and more divided into have and have nots. It’s a special sort of madness to shrug as a sovereign nation is invaded by a bloodthirsty dictator… Continue reading So, The Only Way Forward Is Back, I Guess

DR. JEKYLL – Movie Review
Can I just start by saying how happy I am that Hammer Films is back? The legendary British film company was a monumental part of horror history as it took classic monsters and made them more visceral and terrifying. There have been some Hammer Films released in recent years and it’s good to see them… Continue reading DR. JEKYLL – Movie Review

THE BLUE HOUR – The Disappearance of Nick Brandreth – Found Footage Review
There is a subtle art to the mockumentary (LORD, how I hate that term). If the filmmakers don't take the subject and the film itself seriously then it becomes parody or worse. The best ones walk the line so tightly that you'd be hard pressed to know it wasn't real if you walked in on… Continue reading THE BLUE HOUR – The Disappearance of Nick Brandreth – Found Footage Review
The Spooky Chris Podcast – Those Above (a story)
In which I tell a horror story I make up during the podcast. I had the idea for it, I knew where I wanted to go with it, but I wasn't sure how I'd get there. Here's what I ended up with.
FOUND : An Anthology of Found Footage Horror Stories – Found Footage Book Review
The found footage subgenre is an interesting one because it existed for years in other forms before it made its way to film. One could posit that ANY film that featured a first-person perspective could lean towards that but it’s the idea that it is footage that captures something almost forbidden and then discovered later… Continue reading FOUND : An Anthology of Found Footage Horror Stories – Found Footage Book Review
BOOK REVIEW – NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD ‘90 – The Version You’ve Never Seen
It would seem safe to assume that most horror movie fans have at least HEARD of the seminal classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, the film that modernized how the living dead were captured and presented in pop culture and media. The crazy thing is that as influential as that film was the makers of… Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD ‘90 – The Version You’ve Never Seen
Broaden Your Horizon
This is a fun time of year for cynics. For folks like me, we get to frown and gnash our teeth at all of the entertainment we love that is not recognized with awards. The movies, the music, the books, and everything else. We insist it isn't fair, we decry a system that's against the… Continue reading Broaden Your Horizon
WE FOUND SOMETHING – found footage review
As someone who has made short films before I have a ton of respect for anyone that gets their film made. ESPECIALLY on the deep-indie level. My first short I lost a chunk of my cast after shooting about half of the movie. I had a long moment where I wanted to hang it up… Continue reading WE FOUND SOMETHING – found footage review
