The love affair I have for this movie started the first time I read about it on a geeky movie news blog after it had been previewed at Sundance and the bidding war had begun. Since first reading about it I followed the film until its release. Seeing the movie the first time stands as… Continue reading The Lore of the Blair Witch

Bandit, by author Molly Brodak, is a heartbreaking piece of literature. Heartbreaking in its subject matter and in the legacy it is part of. The book is a memoir of Brodak’s life and family, specifically her father. A product of suburban life outside of Detroit, Brodak’s family was disrupted and fractured when her father was… Continue reading Bandit by Molly Brodak – book review
First and foremost, let me make it clear that I am a guy that watches what I feel drawn to watch. I watch movies for me so there is a LOT that I don’t see. Second, I have a family and don’t have the time to really GO to the movies very often so I… Continue reading The Year That Was – AKA – My Best of 2024
Let’s cut to the chase, first. This is a sequel-ish film that references an aspect of the original 1980s grind-gore classic STREET TRASH. Fans of the original are going to want to know one thing - is it as gross as the original? Oh, brother, is it. If you are looking for a weird, gross,… Continue reading STREET TRASH (2024) – movie review
There is something powerful about films that portray the cruelty of winter. When shot well, these films can chill you as if you are there with the characters and have you reaching for cover before the cold can catch your hand. THE DAMNED is a film set during a long, hard winter, and it is… Continue reading THE DAMNED – movie review
We Americans have been hearing about indoctrination for years now. We have heard how the “Left” is using education to indoctrinate the children to be gay, to be trans, to be weak, to be progressive, to be un-American, to be elitist, to be educated, and on and on. Children, like everyone else, are political pawns.… Continue reading Indoctrinate

For a series that has become an annual event, it really is remarkable how solid this franchise is. The use of found footage as the way these short films are presented give everything a connection point and makes it so the films don't need to be big budget. The series is also a great place… Continue reading V/H/S/: Beyond – found footage review
As many of us slip into the comfort of a little holiday time off it also means we have, well, time off. What better time then to enjoy a little dark reading, eh? Most of my books are available on Kindle, and many for less than one dollar. That’s the kind of bargain you need… Continue reading Get the Creeps on Kindle
For anyone that had the chance to see WNUF HALLOWEEN, you got the opportunity to see a really fun slice of What If filmmaking. The movie was purported to be the Halloween broadcast from a regional television station as one of their anchors investigated the validity of a local house being haunted or not. The… Continue reading OUT THERE HALLOWEEN MEGA TAPE – review (found-ish footage)
When I started writing it was because I had no choice. I was full of stories and needed a way to tell them. I didn't have any great dreams of people seeing my stories or reading them and never imagined a world where I could put out books. Here we are though. I write because… Continue reading Books for All Ages
