Review: DEATH DO US PART
Group of people head to a cabin. They start to die one by one. We’ve seen this time and time again, and sometimes, we’ve seen it done by people who know how to create tension, suspense and a story that engages you enough, that you let the stereotypical slasher setups slide because you’re focused […]

The reality TV obsessed addiction of today is such a great subject to dissect via a good horror film. Unfortunately, though, when most films attempt to do such dissecting, they end up falling as flat as the reality TV shows that they’re referencing.

Wait, Huh? Jerry’s Most “WTF” Double Feature Experiences!
Growing up in the ’80s, my childhood was filled to the brim to double features. Whether in the local multiplex, or at the drive-in, there wasn’t a single thing that I enjoyed more than giving the box office my couple of bucks, and seeing whatever weird ass double features they programmed. I wasn’t around during […]

Beyond Fright: Harley Poe’s “I’m A Killer” & “Ouija”
In 2000, a friend of mine had a compilation that had quite a few tracks from punk rock, hardcore and various other genres on it, all from the Tooth & Nail Records label. Only a couple of the bands really stood out to me, one of which called themselves ‘Calibretto 13′. Sounding like punk rock […]

“I Was At Nirvana: Unplugged…” I’ve got a confession to make. When I was about 17 years old, I was at MTV’s live taping of Nirvana’s now legendary Unplugged performance. I didn’t realize at the time just how important this gig would end up being, both for the band and for pop culture music history […]

There is nothing quite like discovering your new favorite song when watching a movie. It’s a little added bonus that you weren’t expecting, and in all honesty how I’ve come to discover & love a good majority of the music I listen to today.

Beyond Fright: Brand New Lyric Video For Ex-Misfits’ Guitarist DOYLE’s “Valley of Shadows”
Little known secret: I’m a huge Misfits fan.

So, imagine my surprise when out of nowhere, ex-Misfits guitarist, Doyle Wolfgang Von […]
