It’s weird, isn’t it, when people drop their hands to their hips and then lecture you on something you love and how you need to ‘grow up’ and let it go. Funny because the first thing I have to do is cock my head and say - OH? And what makes you the person to… Continue reading Growing Out of It

AFTER DEATH – documentary review
There are few questions in life that are as important and impactful as the question of what happens when we die. People spend theie whole lives in quest of that great truth never coming close to an answer they find suitable. Too many lose sight of their own lives in pursuit of an answer as… Continue reading AFTER DEATH – documentary review
RORSCHACH – found footage review
Well, crap. Color me shocked here because I just watched one of the best found footage movies I have seen in a minute and it's on YouTube. It flew in under the radar, though I vaguely recognized the name of it but I had never seen it and it never makes the core lists of… Continue reading RORSCHACH – found footage review
CASSETTE – found footage review
Since I watch so many found footage films I figured I'd go offroad a little for the next two reviews. I decided to see what YouTube had to offer. I am looking for feature films as there are far too many short form found footage pieces on there to try to go through. I adore… Continue reading CASSETTE – found footage review
The Bookstore is Open
Along with the many blogs and reviews I write, I also write fiction. Throughout my writing, I have put out over 20 books ranging from horror to fantasy to mystery to children's books. There's something for nearly everyone. Check it out for yourself. https://spookychris.com/haunted-bookstore You can also check out my podcast, which is well over… Continue reading The Bookstore is Open

THE COHASSET SNUFF FILM – found footage review
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
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
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
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
