Nobody puts baillee in the corner

V/H/S and V/H/S/2 took the horror community by storm… and then came V/H/S Viral, where we all felt betrayed. (If you haven’t seen it, don’t). We thought the franchise was dead in the water. We thought our beloved V/H/S movies would stop there. Then, the announcement came for V/H/S/94, and I was terrified. V/H/S Viral…

I’ve become a big fan of giallo horror and, Italian horror in general, thanks to Joe Bob Briggs. The Last Drive-In covered Demons during its first season (before we all knew that we’d get more seasons and all cried with Joe Bob when we thought he signed off for the last time). And, I immediately fell in love with…

I’m obviously a horror buff, through-and-through. I grew up with the likes of Eerie, Indiana and Goosebumps. I spent my summers on Fear Street and with Christopher Pike. I even made sure that our TV lived AMC FearFest for its entire run. That’s why Halloween 4 and Halloween 5 have such a special place in…

I absolutely love The Guest, and if given the opportunity, I’ll talk your ear off about it. It’s like Halloween meets Terminator. The soundtrack is BITCHIN’. And, the Dan Stevens bathroom scene – WOOF. That being said, I still think it’s super underrated, and it’s an absolute must see. I also have a few other…

My first exposure to the Evil Dead franchise was on a Sunday afternoon when I was 14. I had been at a band competition the entire day before, so I was exhausted and was channel surfing on the living room couch when I stumbled upon the first Evil Dead starting on Fuse (tell me you’re…

Open Graves is essentially 2009 personified. And, that’s important to remember as you watch it. Within the first five minutes, we have a graphic close up of someone getting their fingernail ripped off with pliers, surfer B-roll, and misogyny. If you aren’t familiar with this particular little flick, Open Graves stars Mike Vogel and Eliza…

When I was a teenager, I was obsessed with After Dark’s 8 Films to Die For. I made all of my friends watch them as soon as Blockbuster released them. They were the movies of choice for many a birthday movie night. I couldn’t wait to get my little, adolescent hands on their covers. I…

My 30 birthday is in less than 36 hours…and it marks the beginning of many firsts without my mom. There won’t be any pancakes or a bedroom room filled with balloons (which she sincerely did when I turned 15) or a card with the likes of a David Foster Wallace novel written inside that I…

I feel the need to always justify myself. I don’t know if it stems from things in my past or if it stems from my anxiety, but either way, I feel like I owe more of an explanation for this U-Haul situation.  Initially, I thought I would only have a few things to take back…

I’m so tired. In every sense of the word. I’m completely and utterly drained because today and yesterday have been really, for lack of a better term, shitty. We finally got my grandmother’s new phone set up (she had just been letting my mom pay her phone bill for over six years, and I can’t…
