Join The Flock

Yes, that IS a lame title.

I am having far too much fun playing with Flock. If things keep moving in this direction, I might just have to boot Safari and Firefox for this Swiss Army knife of browsers. Things I really, really like. No, really.The interface. It’s simple, clean and pretty dang (oh Gary Larson, [...]

Ubiquitous Bumbershoot Post

A post which serves as an umbrella for many random bits.
High Tension was fantastic! While it was a little predictable at times, it was done in such a stylish, well thought out way that it was hard not to buy into the … well, tension. The commentary from the directors say that they don’t consider [...]

The Good And The Bad

I’m here to tell you that The Oblong Box and Scream And Scream Again were horrible. I mean bad, past bad-good and into embarrassing territory. Between cheesy props and blood that looks like house paint, it was very disappointing. You know how things seem cool when you’re a kid watching the thriller double feature (see [...]

Blood Curdling

The latest on Shocktober’s progress…
Horror Hotel (originally titled The City Of The Dead) starring Christopher Lee circa 1960. It’s moody and creepy in a way that stands up over the years. And how can you not love Christopher Lee?
Close Your Eyes with that guy from ER, Moaning Myrtle and Eowen. I wasn’t expecting much from [...]

Creeptastic

Watched Session 9 last night, a disappointment with the exception of a single scene. Although it’s easy to see what they were going for with the prolonged buildup and false sense of normalcy, it didn’t quite make it.
The movie was filmed at the ultimate creepy location, Danvers State Insane Asylun. You would literally have [...]

Sunday Bloody Sunday

It’s Shocktober! Yay!! It came in with a bang this year complete with a downpour of Tic Tac-sized hail, thunder and lightening that terrified Primo. When he’s that scared, he tries to escape to unreasonable places. For instance, he tried to climb into the entry closet (which is just a coat closet) and into the [...]
