Halloween III: Were the Fans Wrong About Season of the Witch?

By Keith Harris on January 13, 2019 0

Cartoon about Halloween 3 Season of The Witch

If you were hoping for a review, then I’m sorry to disappoint. Truthfully, there’s little I can say about 1982’s divisive (to say the least) Halloween III: Season of the Witch that hasn’t already been said regarding the film’s quality or lack-there-of. Countless critics have already covered this movie in more depth than I ever […]

A Nightmare on Elm Street: Original vs Remake

By Keith Harris on December 10, 2018 0

Comparing the movie poster from the original Nightmare on Elm Street to the 2010 remake

Before anyone jumps to conclusions, let’s be clear: I do NOT prefer 2010’s Nightmare on Elm Street over Wes Craven’s 1984 original. To me, it was at best a mediocre, formulaic slasher with moments of quality. At worst, it was a thoroughly disappointing, uninspired homage filled with wasted potential and overused obnoxious jump-scares. It made […]

Art of the Jump-Scare: Film vs. Video Game

When enough examples of a specific outcome about a topic or action occur, it can become understandable to generalize about it. One common example of such stereotyping in horror is the jump-scare. While exceptions of course historically exist in which this trope is utilized to a quality result, the majority (particularly in recent years, as […]

Slow Zombies vs. Fast Zombies: How Have They Influenced The Genre?

A chart showing the five different kinds of zombies; crawler, shambler, walker, runner, and thriller.

Saturating media today probably more than any monster, zombies have so persistently infected pop-culture not only through fear of their countless variants but what the creature represents: The personification of death & the unknown. Outside generations of varying socio-political commentaries, the undead have from one perspective always symbolized death’s creeping inevitability, possibly the most primal […]

What Counts as a Horror Movie?

By Bryce Hanson on August 17, 2018 0

A shitty, MS paint picture parody of Black Swan movie poster

When we originally started the podcast, I thought we had picked a pretty good, well-defined niche. However, as David and I started discussing what kinds of movies we could watch and review on the podcast, we ran up against an interesting question: what counts as a horror movie? It seems like a simple question, but […]

How Slashers Killed Good Horror Movies

By David Day on August 4, 2018 1

Halloween parody movie poster that says slashers rekt horror for everyone!

I was having a discussion with a friend recently who asked me why I thought it was such a good time for the horror genre. The question took me by surprise because I have spent so much time in recent years just being thankful that good horror is becoming a thing again that I never […]
