Be Careful What You Pray For…. Something that I’ve picked up on about the twin brothers of terror, Chad and Carey W. Hayes, is that their horror writing almost always falls into one of two categories: 1) dull but watchable and 2) downright chilling. The duo penned the remake of House Of Wax (2005), TheContinue reading “The Crucifixion (2017)”

The Flash (2023)
“Don’t let your tragedy define you.” 2011’s Flashpoint story, which played out across multiple DC titles, provides the backbone….and not much else, for 2023’s The Flash. If you’re familiar with Geoff Johns’ story, you know that in it, Barry Allen upsets the timeline by traveling back to the point where his mother dies and preventingContinue reading “The Flash (2023)”

Throwback Thursday: Debbie Gibson and Tiffany (1980s-90s)
“I think we’re alone now, so let me get lost in your eyes!” Okay, I’ll admit that my heading is a tad lame, but I wanted to find a way in which to combine two of the biggest songs for two of the biggest stars of the late 1980s/early 1990s without showing any favoritism. TiffanyContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Debbie Gibson and Tiffany (1980s-90s)”

Hosting A Convention Panel
“I have something to say…..” Have you ever thought of presenting a panel at a pop culture, comic, or anime convention? I’ve presented panels since 2009 and have only increased the amount of panels I’ve presented at conventions as the years have passed. For the last few years, I’ve usually presented a minimum of twoContinue reading “Hosting A Convention Panel”
Cult Classic: Pieces (1982)
“I guess I’m so used to the bodies….dead ones.” A villain modeled after the classic pulp hero called The Shadow, the guy who played Bluto in the live action Popeye (1980) movie, tons of blood and almost as much nudity, and a really messed up, puzzle-loving kid come together in 1982’s Pieces. The film, directedContinue reading “Cult Classic: Pieces (1982)”

Cult Classic: The Prowler (1981)
“I want you to be my date, Rose.” Landing smack in the middle of what many have dubbed the “Golden Age of Slasher Films” (1978-1984), The Prowler (1981) does a whole lot with the very little that it has going for it. It drops a rather unique looking murderer into a standard slasher plot, givesContinue reading “Cult Classic: The Prowler (1981)”
