HALLOWEEN KILLS – review Now that this is finally out, and the fans are seething, and the pundits are posting their bile can we just take a moment to appreciate what Rob Zombie was able to do? He took a dead franchise and gave it life. It wasn’t the life we were expecting, and… Continue reading HALLOWEEN KILLS – review

In which I talk about the film REQUIEM FOR A DREAM.
FADE TO BLACK – movie review
You know, as a geek, there something that’s a bit irresistible when it comes to gazing deep into our bellybuttons and staring at our fandom in the mirror. It’s interesting then that so often movies about fandom leans more towards the dark as fandom can be pretty gross and caustic. Fans are not always the… Continue reading FADE TO BLACK – movie review
The Spooky Chris Podcast – The Conjuring Universe

THE THING – 2011 – review
Horror fans are some of the silliest of fans out there. We fans HATE remakes, but then we obsess over how amazing the ‘70’s and ‘80’s movies were – they weren’t any better or worse than what we have always had, sorry. We talk about wanting new voices and new ideas but rush out to… Continue reading THE THING – 2011 – review
Godzilla Vs Kong – review
I grew up with Godzilla and his movies. I remember watching Godzilla movies on a Detroit station that ran sci-fi and horror double features on Saturdays. I grew up watching him battle King Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan, Gigan, and the rest. From a young age Godzilla was part of my life, so much so that… Continue reading Godzilla Vs Kong – review
THE ARRIVAL – movie review
Do you ever remember things differently than maybe they happened? I mean, we all do it, right? With friendships. With love. With our heroic adventures where we’re the star. We all do it, exaggerating or blurring reality or not quite seeing a thing for how it was. I have that happen to me all… Continue reading THE ARRIVAL – movie review
BLAIR WITCH – movie review
I don’t think it’s any secret that I am a slappy for the BLAIR WITCH and all of its associated creations. I am a slappy, like I said. I remember seeing the BLAIR WITCH PROJECT a week before it came out in wide release and it blew me away. I was able to see… Continue reading BLAIR WITCH – movie review
Friday the 13th Series/Scream Factory Boxed Set Review
To say I was excited to see that FRIDAY THE 13th was getting a proper boxed set is a huge understatement. I have always loved the series and while there have been lots and lots and lots of releases there was never a comprehensive one with ALL of the movies together and with as… Continue reading Friday the 13th Series/Scream Factory Boxed Set Review
DANIEL ISN’T REAL – review
Horror has become a great place to examine and discuss a variety of topics such as mental health. Sure, you get a lot of dramas that talk about people’s declining mental health or issues with mental health, but you never quite get the same sort of desperate and scary look as you do with… Continue reading DANIEL ISN’T REAL – review
MANIAC – review
Can I just say right now that watching a movie this gnarly and sleazy in 4K is SO WEIRD! I am not really reviewing this as a sort of home release thing, but the film has never looked better. It’s still grimy, there’s tons of film grain, but it’s bright, it’s clear, and man… Continue reading MANIAC – review
He Knows You’re Alone – review
As a horror fan and past that a slasher film fan there’s nothing worse than a boring slasher. For me, I want them to be fun (or dark), a bit of a whodunnit with a mystery about WHO is killing or WHY they are doing it, and I wanna have a big and fun… Continue reading He Knows You’re Alone – review
Warning Do Not Play – review
As someone who has been watching foreign horror since I was a teenager I have come to see and appreciate the trends that each region has. With Asian horror you get many tales of revenge and emotion come to boil after death as well as the idea of extremes. It was strange that Asian… Continue reading Warning Do Not Play – review
