Pet Sematary | It | Children of the Corn | The Mist Baddie: Blind religion. Lesson: Never trust a child in a hat. I should mention off the bat that this movie has an insane amount of sequels. Eight total movies and one SyFy remake, the most recent coming out in 2011. I fully acknowledge I am…
Pet Sematary | It | Children of the Corn | The Mist Baddie: Magic dirt with a shelf life. Lesson: The soil of the man is stonier. Shame September is upon us, and I have some hardcore admitting to do. I have not seen a lot of Stephen King movies. There, I said it. Get…

For example, Elijah Wood loves horror movies so much he made his own production company, SpectreVision (formally The Woodshed).

Sarah from SciFridays here, back from hiatus and proud to introduce: Thrillhers, a brand new column! To kick things off, let’s take a look at Ana Lily Amirpour’s A…
Baddie – Greedy sequels. Lesson – Excess is the plague of the human condition. Check out the first three movies here – join me in my own suffering. As I plunged headlong into the fourth Saw movie, I had an awakening. An epiphany – a revelation. Saw has re-invented story telling. It happened by accident,…
Baddie – James Wan. Lesson – Not all Australian horror is good. Readers, you don’t know this about me yet – but I am not a James Wan fan. It would be foolish to say he didn’t understand the genre, but I feel that ultimately his films are a collection of successful horror gimmicks that do…
