This feels like another of those films that people will stumble across wondering…is this real? No, it’s not. That should be clear if you watch it but, if you happen upon it blindly and aren’t certain then your pal Spooky Chris is here to tell you to rest easy. It’s only a film. It’s only… Continue reading THE COHASSET SNUFF FILM – found footage 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
Hey gang, I was given a chance to check out the new Hammer film DOCTOR JEKYLL starring Eddie Izzard and will get a review of it up next week. Until then, check out the trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyPUuM4COMU
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
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.
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
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
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
In this piece, I engage in a conversation with Paul Counelis, a multifaceted artist known for his work as an author, filmmaker, and musician, who also passionately embraces the Halloween theme. The discussion highlights his creative endeavors and enthusiasm for the holiday, providing insight into his artistic vision.
In this post, I share my favorite horror movies from 2023 and include a bonus selection of my overall favorite film of the year. The excitement is palpable as I explore these cinematic experiences that have made a significant impact on my viewing journey this year.
Well, hello! I am not sure anyone else gets much out of these posts but darn it, I do, so that’s all that matters. I figured though that I have a lot of movies and love a lot of movies folks haven't seen and with video stores gone and not everything streaming there are a… Continue reading Yet MORE Movies You May Not Have Seen – part three of whatever
If you’re like me then you hate to see movie consumers treated as if we’re pumpkin-headed idiots who need to be treated like we’re not bright enough to pick up plots or themes. The film has to be explained fully in a trailer. Everything has to be laid out. We see this in games as… Continue reading Tease Me
