I've blogged about the world of horror for well over 10 years. I've watched every inconceivable paranormal, poltergeist and ghost movie probably ever made but I've never actually done any ghost hunting IRL. In less than a month, I'll be doing just that for the first time.With some fellow Survivors, were all going to venture to The Shanley Hotel, a supposed haunted inn with a very dark past. Equipped...

  Not long after my last post this past Thursday night, we had a bad storm come thru late that night and into Friday morning.  When I got home from work on Friday afternoon, I noticed the computer was off and when I went to turn it on, nothing happened.  I can't get it to come on for the life of me! I'm not sure if it has something to do with the storm or not.  So anyway,...

  Check out this great short film my buddy Caleb told me about earlier this week titled DON'T MOVE.  The film is about a group of friends playing with a Ouija board that unleash a demon among them.  DON'T MOVE was written by David Scullion and directed by Anthony Melton.  The film is very well made with some really good gore.  The film is part of the U.K. series...

    Check out the trailer to the upcoming horror film, THE PURGE, starring Ethan Hawke.  The film was written and directed by James DeMonaco.  Here is the basic plot of the film from the film's imdb page:If on one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would you do?

    As most of you know, the sequel to ZOMBIELAND was scrapped a while back, and then amazon.com picked up the rights to make ZOMBIELAND:  THE SERIES based on the film.  When I heard this news, I was skeptical to say the least.  In fact, I pretty much wrote it off before even watching the first episode.  Well, I heard episode 1 was out, so I thought I might...

  I recently received a press release about a new Bigfoot film called, STOMPING GROUND.  I am a huge fan of the Bigfoot folklore and love films dealing with this subject.  So, I am always excited when I hear of a new film coming out based on this topic.   This film is from director Dan Riesser who directed the fun short film NIGHT OF THE PUNKS, which I reviewed...

Well, it's in some theaters at least.  Apparently the film got a limited release so not everyone will be able to enjoy this film even though some of us have been waiting for this film since we reported about it way back in 2010  (see post)!  Can you tell I'm a little bitter?  Oh well....I have actually moved on from the anger stage and now I am at grief.  I was looking so...
