A brutal murder-suicide happens at a house. A crew comes to clean it after the police have closed their investigation. One of the crew, Kevin (Aaron Ashmore) sees that the house will be available, so he goes to the sister of the couple (who now owns the house) and makes an offer. Sometime later, he …

51 Birch Street
My love of family secrets stories--novels, movies, and documentaries--is what led me to 51 Birch Street, a 2005 documentary about Long Island siblings and what they uncovered about their parents after their mother died and father remarried. Okay, it was also the Long Island of everything because despite vowing to never live there again, I …
It Lives Inside
Yeah, yeah, yeah ... another demon movie. Anyway, this one's a little different because nobody's possessed; it's more like a demon has been let out and is feeding on people. It Lives Inside stars Megan Suri as Sam, an Indian-American high school student who has, over time, set aside or rejected a lot of her …
It’s Cult Documentary Season!
I swear that my wife and I could do a whole podcast episode about documentaries about cults. Yeah, we watch a few of the bigger true crime docs, but what we really enjoy is sitting down for a couple of hours and getting the inside story on fringe religious groups. Over the past several years, …
The Free Fall and Relic
Ah, more random-assed horror courtesy of Kanopy. I swear there's more than just horror on that streaming service. Anyway, these two movies were sitting in the queue and I decided to check them out over the last couple of weeks. Both involve weird crap happening to young women and have haunted house/things aren't as they …
Table 19
I needed a break from all of the crappy horror movies I was watching, so I decided to go in the rom-com direction. Sitting on HBO Max was ensemble this film from 2019 about a group of randoms forced to sit together at a wedding reception's worst table. The center of the movie is Eloise …
Tales from the Void
Kanopy had this Canadian horror anthology show from 2024 available for streaming. Running six episodes, it was based on the stories published in r/nosleep subreddit. Each episode consists of a mains tory along with an interview with the original writer. I like a good anthology series and six episodes seemed doable, so I jumped in. …
Wait, how many demonic possession movies did I watch?!
I'm a casual horror person. Over the years, I've watched my fair share of slasher and zombie flicks, but lately I've been interested in stories about demonic possession. Maybe there's something alluring in stories about the fight for your soul against an evil entity. Too bad that a number of these movies are "meh," especially …

DC Animated: The New 52
I've had the three-part Crisis on Infinite Earths animated feature on my list for a while but had thought it would be a good idea to perhaps start at the beginning of what I guess is known as the DC Animated Movie Universe and then work my way through Crisis. So I went to Wikipedia …
SHOCKtober recap: Horror Mini-Reviews
October being ... well, October, I spent a lot of time watching and reading horror stuff, much of which wasn't actually on my to-read/to-watch list. We're talking new horror comics, some old horror comics, and at least one novel that I grabbed from the public library. But I did knock a few things off the …
