  • Saturday Morning Cinema – House of Wax (2005)

    Saturday Morning Cinema – House of Wax (2005)

    About a 5-minute read Wax on. Wax off. Paris Hilton. Pre-“Sammy” Padalecki. Serial Siamese Twins. A mid-aughts horror delicacy. When you think of 2005’s House of Wax, do you think of Paris Hilton? I do. It’s easy to dismiss the movie because of her presence, not that anything she did or did not do in…

  • Saturday Morning Cinema – Nothing But Trouble

    Saturday Morning Cinema – Nothing But Trouble

    About a 5-minute read I dreamed a dream of Halloween and hoped what I saw was not to be. In a never-ending fever of grotesque and macabre, my fleeting sanity the torment did rob. When I awoke, its presence I felt, though night’s shadows and darkness ran from the dawning sun’s melt. My dream was…

  • Saturday Morning Cinema – The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

    Saturday Morning Cinema – The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

    God forgot to bless this part of Texas. About a 6-minute read The inescapable heat invaded every corner – there was no escaping its oppression. The passing breeze offered no solace, only bringing more warmth to assault the teens as they wearily stumbled through brambles and the occasional husk of abandoned machinery. Their world had…

    Saturday Morning Cinema – Sleepy Hollow

    Sleepy Hollow kicks off my 2025 spooky season viewing as I let Tim Burton whisk me away to a well-crafted world with unique characters that makes the most of the Headless Horseman legend. What makes Sleepy Hollow such an engrossing watch? It’s the things Tim Burton is so good at.

    Saturday Morning Cinema – Unforgiven

    It’s hard to fathom a movie could contain the celluloid greatness of Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Morgan Freeman. But the feat was accomplished in 1992 with the release of Unforgiven, #68 on the AFI’s 100 greatest American films of all time.

  • Saturday Morning Cinema – Tootsie

    Saturday Morning Cinema – Tootsie

    I didn’t trust that I’d like Tootsie, but that could be a side effect of my sentiment toward the state of disappointing new releases. However, there’s a reason Tootsie is #69 on AFI’s top 100 list. Let’s see if a trip back in time to 1980s NYC can rekindle the cinematic flame in my heart.

  • My Friend Harvey – Purveyor of Night Terrors

    My Friend Harvey – Purveyor of Night Terrors

    Harvey has essentially been in my life since I could form memories. He first appeared as a shadow haunting me as a kid. Now, we’re friends, but I have questions.

    Oh-No Zone – Episode 1: The Ghost Pirates of Calico Cove

    In the first episode of “Oh No Zone,” host Cedric Antilles interviews Preston, who recounts a terrifying experience in Calico Cove involving an unexpected storm and a ghostly eighteenth-century pirate ship. The spectral event profoundly impacted Preston and his friend Steve, who disappears after the encounter, leaving questions about the supernatural and local legends.

  • Saturday Morning Cinema – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

    Saturday Morning Cinema – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

    One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a well-known, iconic film, with a story and performances that keep the film alive and relevant since its release in 1975. The most memorable character, in name anyway, Nurse Ratched, is cast in pop culture as a diabolical villain. Watching the film, however, rocked that assumption.

  • The Last Dandelion

    The Last Dandelion

    My eyes traced along my typical mowing path, noting each obstacle and nuance from the prior year. Then, they suddenly stopped and snapped back to an unexpected sight, and alarm bells sounded. There, rising defiantly above the grass, was a yellow-headed demon.
