Before I start, just so we're clear - this is a movie. This is not real. There is no serial killer filming victims and these are those tapes. Let me break it down. No family would agree for that sort of footage to be released. Could the killer release it online? Sure, but it'd be… Continue reading AUDITION – found footage review

THE LOST VLOG OF RUBY REAL – found footage review
Man, if someone hadn't invented woods there'd never have been found footage movies. That's my biggest revelation at the end of 2023. Think of it, from BLAIR WITCH on there have been dozens of found footage films made in, around, and about the woods. Those big old spooky places are just too fertile for creepy… Continue reading THE LOST VLOG OF RUBY REAL – found footage review

SAFARI – found footage review
Any time I come across a found footage film that does something a little different I have to stop and admire it. In a sub-genre that's become full of movies desperate for the path of least resistance, telling stories in haunted buildings or spooky woods and shaking the camera about a bit and yelling as… Continue reading SAFARI – found footage review

Mister Howl – by T.W. Burgess – found footage book review
You read that right, a found footage book. Crazy. And brilliant. I had discovered this book via a post on a horror blog (I don’t want to venture a guess which and get it wrong) and headed over to the Kickstarter page and chipped in to help it along. The idea of a found footage… Continue reading Mister Howl – by T.W. Burgess – found footage book review

More Under the Radar Movies You Should Check Out!
A few months ago I wrote a blog about a few movies that I dig that are a little under the radar and deserve more attention and love and I thought I’d make another list of some films that don’t always get the love they deserve. THE BOOGENS This early ‘80s romp was a regular… Continue reading More Under the Radar Movies You Should Check Out!
V/H/S ‘85 – found footage review
I have to say, there is something brilliant about the V/H/S brand and it’s that even when there’s an entry that’s a bit of a clunker - and only one or two have been outright dogs - they can win you back with the next one. It takes some new ideas, new directors (or returning),… Continue reading V/H/S ‘85 – found footage review
HELL HOUSE, LLC ORIGINS – The Carmichael Manor – found footage review
There are movies that come out and it's almost like they surprise everyone at how good they are, even the filmmakers. Not that they thought their movie wouldn't be good but that they hadn't necessarily expected it to get the reception it does. When that movie blows up the first thought is...franchise. FRANCHISE! The thing… Continue reading HELL HOUSE, LLC ORIGINS – The Carmichael Manor – found footage review
THE DARK TAPES – found footage movie review
I watch…a lot of found footage. You noticed that right? I mean, it’s not like, a surprise? It’s not SURPRISE, I AM A WEIRDO AND LOVE FOUND FOOTAGE…LIKE I AM LIVING IN 2000! I love the stuff. Unabashedly. POW. Saying that, I have seen slight variations on the same stories and themes and can guess… Continue reading THE DARK TAPES – found footage movie review

If you've poked around in my Haunted Bookstore you'll have seen that I have a LOT of books. I write. A lot. It's hard to know if you are comfortable investing in an author you've never read before though, and I get it. AS SUCH, I dropped the prices on my e-books.
