Second Breakfast Octoberween: Quoth the Raven, “Please Stop”

Unfortunately, I already used the headline “Edgar Allan Poesers” (for which I cannot take credit) back in 2016 while reviewing Extraordinary Tales. It would apply extremely well here. The Raven (2012) The Plot: When a string of grisly murders mirroring the work of Edgar Allan Poe hits Baltimore, police inspector Fields (Luke Evans) enlists the…

/horror wants to play a game with “Spiral” [2021]

It’s worth noting this is ‘Spiral: From the Book of Saw’ and not the ‘Spiral’ (2019) from Shudder. Happy Octoberween y’all! Some of you may remember that I have previously endured all seven Saw movies (Part One and Part Two). I marathoned them again in the pandemic because here in America (specifically Texas) we’re in…

Second Breakfast Octoberween: Beware of The Blob!

We’re back! Another year, another October, another Octoberween. Everybody has their own way of getting in the mood for Halloween (everybody who does get in the mood, anyway), and my personal preference is with spooky movies. Of varying spook factor. Sure, I love me something genuinely scary, like John Carpenter’s Halloween, and I love kid-friendly…

Octoberween Eight: The Quest for Vibes

It certainly has been a year. Full of ups and downs. Maybe too many downs, but some absolutely stellar ups: Weddings, engagements, scented candles, reasonably priced fancy cheeses…an immeasurable wealth of riches amidst a real doozy of a time to be living through history*. I know what you’re asking yourself: “How, in these certainly uncertain…

Second Breakfast Octoberween: “The Killer Shrews”

“Those who hunt by night will tell you that the wildest and most vicious of all animals is the tiny shrew. The shrew feeds only by the dark of the moon. He must eat his own body weight every few hours or starve. And the shrew devours everything: bones, flesh, marrow… everything. In March, first…

/horror swims with “Deep Blue Sea 3”

I have a small confession to make. I’ve seen “Deep Blue Sea 3” already. I might own it. But we’re going to talk about it, because it deserves it. “Deep Blue Sea” (1999!!!) is probably one of the best shark movies to date. It’s got really great scares and while there are some deaths I…

Octoberween: “The City of the Dead”

Welp, I definitely intended to review something before October twentieth, but here we are. 2020, etc. My theme last year, if there was one (a theme, not a year, 2019 definitely happened, I think), was Godzilla + The Simpsons. This year, you get witches. Why? Why does anyone do anything? I was in the mood…
