I have to be honest, I haven’t watched anything on MTV for a long time. I tuned out about the time Teen Mom started airing. Though it does have a special place in my heart because it did premiere the amazing John Landis’s Thriller video by Michael Jackson. Not only did it premiere the video […]
I’ve mentioned before the mindset of network television programmers back in the early ’70s; you know, that dark age before the eight-hundred and seventy-nine cable channels with nothing on worth watching that we enjoy today. Back before the dearth of entertainment we have now with our digital streaming and our RedBox, there were three (sometimes […]
It’s no real secret to you fine folks that I drew a great deal of my love of the horror genre from watching movies on television as a young child in the ’70s, most of which I really had no business watching at that age. Remember, this was a time when TV was trying to compete […]
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the LA press day for Season 2 of the super-rad supernatural thriller Netflix series Hemlock Grove.

However, a strange guest arrives at his doorstep and the tables are turned on Gideon one Halloween night…. Gideon is one stingy man. Heck, the guy charges four […]
October 9, 1988, as the anticipation mounted, I grabbed a blank VHS tape (for those younger readers, it’s what we had before DVD’s and DVR’s) slapped a blank label on that bad boy, then proceeded to neatly write FREDDY’S NIGHTMARES on it, yes in all caps. Just as I slid that bulky bastard of a […]
Man lives in the sunlit world he believes to be reality, But there is unseen by most an underworld a place that is just as real but not as brightly lit….. A Darkside. There is something missing from this generation in the horror genre. Anthologies. Not the kind you read or the ones that are […]
