Three cheers for the trash. Let’s celebrate the trash, shall we? The things that we love that others deride and hate. The art, the music, the movies, the books, the television, the whatever it is that makes our hearts sing and brings ridicule from those around us. Let us raise a glass and toast these… Continue reading Trash

So You Wanna Make a Found Footage Horror Film – Part 2 – Mocks and Docs
With the general found footage film rules out of the way I can now focus on the rules for the faux-documentary films/mockumentary films. The core rules are the same with both types of movies but there are a few specific ones that sit wholly with the faux-doc/mockumentary. Now, these are not always horror as movies… Continue reading So You Wanna Make a Found Footage Horror Film – Part 2 – Mocks and Docs
Growing Out of It

Keep Getting Physical
I suppose if I were to declare a religion it’d be for physical media as that’s the subject I preach about most these days. It isn’t that social and political issues are less important, clearly, but that screaming into the void of the internet won’t do much to change those things. Obviously. WHEREAS I hope… Continue reading Keep Getting Physical
What is Success?
We all struggle over the idea of what success means. Do we define it, do we allow others to define it for us?
