Hey fiends! Quick little blurb about how excited I am to check out Evil Dead Rise!

Hey fiends! There were a lot of memorable movies that came out of the dumpster fire that was this year. I thought I would end it on a high note with an impressive and equally depressing movie, The Whale. Starring the G.O.A.T, Brendan Fraser; Charlie who is a man trapped in a prison that is his own body. He does not have much time left and seeks to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Ellie, played by Stranger Things' Sadie Sink. The story has horror elements and will make you cry as well as think. I would highly recommend checking it out and tuning in! Happy New Year!

Hey fiends! Happy holidays! Whether you celebrate or don't, have I got a slasher for you. Hijinks ensue for a small town when a robotic Santa is on the loose, he's not here to spread cheer, but mayhem and fear.

Hey fiends! The holidays are stressful enough, but don't worry, Santa has it covered. David Harbour plays an ass kicking, beer guzzling santa who still has a heart of gold. He still cares about doing the right thing when he finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, doing his job. He pulls a Holly Jolly John Wick and helps save a young girl who still believes and her dirty rich relatives. Get cozy by the fire with some ass whooping!

Happy Halloweekend fiends! The time has come, FINALLY, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles are being adapted for tv! I have loved the 1994 movie and book and she started my obsession with vampires. Tonight I'll be breaking down the first episode, comparing and contrasting. Jacob Anderson as Louis, a vampire, deciding to tell his life story to Daniel, Eric Bogosian a journalist. Sparing no detail of his turbulent relationship with his lover and maker, Lestat, played by Sam Reid. Already I am as hooked on this show as they are to blood. This series thus far is something you can really sink your teeth into! 

Welcome back fiends! This episode is about the divisive Halloween Ends. Laurie and Michael have their final showdown, for real this time. Only after a few killer cameos while bonding with his new bestie, Corey.  Who just so happens to be Allyson's new love interest.

Call it, grandmother's intuition. Join me as I break down the final installment!

I'm back fiends! Took a little break and now I'm reviewing Rob Zombie's The Munsters. Take what you know about the campy tv show and buckle in. This is a prequel if you will, where Lily and Herman meet and spoiler, get married.  The awkwardness becomes overpowering and at times, downright painful. The biggest surprise, Sheri Moon giving a great performance of Lily. No, I'm not being sarcastic. Tune in on my thoughts of The Superbeasts' rendition of the iconic spooky family. 

Hey fiends! Welcome back, tonight I'll be discussing the original Living Dead Girl, The Bride of Frankenstein. She's got style, she's independent and yet, she doesn't show up until the end of the film. What gives? Yes, Frankenstein's Monster played by the master himself, Boris Karloff brings more humanity and heart to the stitched up stud. But I wanted more Bride, like Tiffany Valentine. Tune in as I share my thoughts on this classic!

Hey fiends! I decided to watch this solely based off the title. I wanted B-movie cheese and all I got was a sense of underwhelm.Satan himself was not enough. This is another mini episode because quite frankly, there's not much to talk about. If you like Suspiria, just watch Suspiria. Give it a watch if you dare, the good thing about it was the premise and even the over-acting couldn't redeem this bland fest. Tune in!

Cupcake not included. 

Hey fiends! During these dark days, we've had to stay away from friends and loved ones, which has made a lot of us very lonely. So lonely, that you would be desperate for any kind of connection, even if it's not real. Well, David, has dealt with the same thing, cares for his mother with Dementia. He has no friends, or romantic life outside of his home. He tries to deal with this by sending out dating videos and stumbles upon a VHS called Rent-A-Pal, at first, it helps him feel less alone, and even more confident until things take a dark turn. His new pal isn't quite what he seems which leads David to spiral into madness.

Will they both make it past this hellish time in their lives? Tune in and find out!

Hey fiends! By request, I decided to give A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night a second chance. First viewing, I wasn't sold on what I thought was a hipster vampire movie. But, it won me over this time around. We follow an Iranian vampire who actually doesn't have a name, she's credited as " The Girl " . I refer to her as a vampire vigilante, kind of like Dexter but messier. The soundtrack is solid and it's beautifully shot. Join me as I discuss yet another modern take on a classic movie monster, it'll be a bloody good time!

Hey fiends! The world is on fire and I needed a pick me up. This one is an indy horror film called Lilith, written and directed by a Slasher app friend, Taylor S.
