Welcome to my strange world of Blogs, Books, Movie Reviews, Podcasts, Stories, and Art!
There is something powerful about films that portray the cruelty of winter. When shot well, these films can chill you as if you are there with the characters and have you reaching for cover before the cold can catch your hand. THE DAMNED is a film set during a long, hard winter, and it is… Continue reading THE DAMNED – movie review
We Americans have been hearing about indoctrination for years now. We have heard how the “Left” is using education to indoctrinate the children to be gay, to be trans, to be weak, to be progressive, to be un-American, to be elitist, to be educated, and on and on. Children, like everyone else, are political pawns.… Continue reading Indoctrinate

For a series that has become an annual event, it really is remarkable how solid this franchise is. The use of found footage as the way these short films are presented give everything a connection point and makes it so the films don't need to be big budget. The series is also a great place… Continue reading V/H/S/: Beyond – found footage review
As many of us slip into the comfort of a little holiday time off it also means we have, well, time off. What better time then to enjoy a little dark reading, eh? Most of my books are available on Kindle, and many for less than one dollar. That’s the kind of bargain you need… Continue reading Get the Creeps on Kindle
For anyone that had the chance to see WNUF HALLOWEEN, you got the opportunity to see a really fun slice of What If filmmaking. The movie was purported to be the Halloween broadcast from a regional television station as one of their anchors investigated the validity of a local house being haunted or not. The… Continue reading OUT THERE HALLOWEEN MEGA TAPE – review (found-ish footage)
When I started writing it was because I had no choice. I was full of stories and needed a way to tell them. I didn't have any great dreams of people seeing my stories or reading them and never imagined a world where I could put out books. Here we are though. I write because… Continue reading Books for All Ages

I think it’s natural to reach a point in your life where you start to question who you are and what you meant to the world. I have talked about it before, the idea of legacy, but this is more about the moments that populate our lives. Our lives are so strange in that it’s… Continue reading Everything Fades
Since my So You Wanna Make a Found Footage Film blogs have been getting a lot of interest, I figured I would turn my attention toward slasher movies. I have a very deep love of the subgenre and figured it’s always nice to set the table of what makes a remarkable entry. So…you wanna make… Continue reading So You Wanna Make a Slasher Film?
YouTube is an interesting space for found footage. It’s a fantastic place to find, and post, short films and is absolutely FULL of FF shorts. The site has also become a really interesting option for posting full features. Once upon a time you put these films either from a studio or you and your friends… Continue reading THE MITCHIN MURDERS – found footage review
OK, this movie breaks the rules. I found it on YouTube and it claims to be found footage, but isn’t. It’s SORTA found footage. It uses a LOT of found footage, but also has shots of an actor that wouldn’t make sense to have a camera on him. It’s an angle that COULD be like… Continue reading VISHER – found-ish footage review
