SciFridays: “Rites of Spring” (2011)

Baddie – Wes Craven (Yeah. Wes Craven) Lesson – The current economic climate has made farmers a little desperate. As you may remember from last week, I now have a Twitter. Follow me there for interesting mid-week horror/sci-fi tidbits and stuff.   I’m…well I’m not really sure what I just watched. This is one of those…

SciFridays: “Sharknado” (2013)

Baddie – The Creative Staff at SyFy Lesson – Sharks swirling around for over twenty minutes in a tornado are still hungry.

Okay, almost always. The closest I’ve gotten to a haunt is American Horror Story. So here we go, a ghost story. So…

SciFridays: “Demonic” (2005)

Baddie – Apathy Lesson – I don’t know. This movie is better than Ambien. Sorry I’m late. I’m on vacation, sortof. One of the perks of this job is, since I don’t get paid, I write reviews whenever I WANT, son. And by that I mean promptly for Fridays unless I get distracted.  This movie…
