  • Fright Week Films: Crystal Lake (2026)

    Fright Week Films: Crystal Lake (2026)

    The Friday the 13th franchise is one of my comfort watch collections. They are campy flicks where you know what to expect but still get enough mystery around the character of Jason to feed the imagination. They are slasher horror films with supernatural roots. Peacock’s Crystal Lake is a prequel series that goes back to…

  • Fright Week Films: Evil Dead (2013)

    Fright Week Films: Evil Dead (2013)

    I cannot claim to be a die-hard Evil Dead fan. I have seen the original and Evil Dead II, and I stuck with Ash vs Evil Dead for a bit, but I do not know the ins and outs of the lore or even much outside the basics of how the films connect. The new…

    Saturday Morning Cinema: Halloween (1978)

    1978’s Halloween is one of my favorite scary movies. While I’ve watched it enough to neutralize any of the “scare”, it’s a film to be appreciated for its legacy. The look, movements, and invincibility of Michael Myers is synonymous with Halloween.

    Movies I Like Ep. 3: 30 Days of Night

    Movies do not necessarily need to have a heavy emotional impact or be action spectacles to leave a lasting impression. Sometimes, the thoughts they evoke and their presentation is enough to stick with, or haunt, you. 2007’s 30 Days of Night is one of those films. Here’s why it’s a movie I like…

  • Saturday Morning Cinema – Black Christmas

    Saturday Morning Cinema – Black Christmas

    Traditional Christmas movies are fun, great even, but what if you need a palate cleanser? Enter 1974’s Black Christmas, a movie that created a template for future slasher films and provides insight into why A Christmas Story is not so innocent.
