Does watching the Presidential debate count as horror?

With Halloween only weeks away, I’ve been putting up decorations on the house and planning some of the festivities to come. In keeping with the spooky atmosphere, I ask you, what could be spookier than an abandoned insane asylum?
Awhile back I’d seen a movie called Session 9 which was [...]

It’s nice to be back in the land of the e-living. The new year has been very busy and is moving much faster than previously anticipated. Let’s jump right in, shall we?
The other night, we ventured out to El Corazon for an all ages show in support of my friend Nate and his band The [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Since, Shocktober is almost here …
What? It is! Weren’t you just saying “I can’t believe it’s already September”. And it’s already September 8th!
But, I digress. On a whim (and against my better judgement) I picked up Fatal Frame II for Xbox. As if there aren’t already enough ways I find to terrify myself, there’s a [...]

there’s nothing better than friends who love Halloween just as much as you do! IMed with H yesterday about our movie agenda and had a lovely conversation with D this evening. she gave me the tip on tons of old horror flicks she found in the dollar area at Target (an area i had dismissed [...]

oh October, how i love your cool, crisp scents! in case you didn’t know (and why would you?) my rule for October is to exist on a strict diet of horror flicks.

Mark bought 28 Days Later for me while i was sick and we watched it immediately. last night i went to see Resident Evil: [...]

went to see The Exorcist: The Beginning instead of seeing Garden State(which i will be seeing next weekend perhaps?). i have this unreasonable thing for horror movies. because of that i have to make certain concessions. there aren’t very many really good, really scary horror movies coming out these days so i have to lower [...]

it’s a shame there is really only one specific time of year that seems appropriate (to most) for a horror movie to be released. this is one of the reasons i am very excited that Dawn of the Dead will be released next month. i know horror is a genre not everyone is interested in. [...]
