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 …
Stay Cool
It's extremely rare that I don't finish anything. I've gone back and watched the last, sad season of a television series that I'd stopped watching just to make sure I got the whole experience. I have collected comic book series way past the point where I realized I was reading them for obligation. And I …
The Intervention
I dont know why I went on this run of "everyone in the same house" movies or reunion movies recently. I think it's because I've also been on this hunt for "smaller" movies that are more character driven and let actors perform rather than rely on set pieces. Nothing against blockbusters or other big movies …
Dear Sirs
After his grandfather Silvio passes away, Mark Pedri is left with a house full of his things, which goes untouched for a while until he decides to sift through what's there. He knew his grandfather, or at least knew him to be a miner who played the accordion and the man with whom he'd spend …
Vertigo
A couple of years ago, I received an Alfred Hitchcock Blu-Ray boxed set for Christmas. I haven't really cracked it beyond the movies I'm very familiar with--Psycho, North by Northwest, Rear Window--so with nothing on a couple of Saturdays ago, we threw in Vertigo, which I think is safe to say is within the Pantheon …
Surviving the Game
"The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Carroll is one of those short stories that for at least a couple of generations in high school English. The premise, in case you're not familiar with it, is that a big game hunter named Rainsford falls off of a yacht and washes up on the private island of …
Lucky Them
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4a/Lucky_Them.jpg Ten years ago, Matthew Smith, one of the more influential voices of his generation, played his final show and disappeared. Nobody has been able to find him, although plenty of people on the Internet and other places swear they've seen him or heard him perform. Especially affected was his then-girlfriend, Ellie Klug . She's …
