There are two quick things I want to bring up before getting into this week’s episode. Starting off, I do not have some whiplash-inducing drama within the world of Skinwalker Ranch or the larger scope of disclosure. A lot has happened in the two weeks since the previous episode, but honestly, it’s too much to…

If you read my coverage of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch Season 5 Episode 4: Bad Taste, you’re familiar with what is happening behind the scenes. After doing coverage last week, I realized I, too, may have been blinded by the cameras. While I did make it incredibly clear that I was in no way…

It’s no secret that there are strange goings on within the perimeters of Skinwalker Ranch. The previous four seasons of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch have provided staggering and irrefutable evidence of something. One thing that ranch owner Brandon Fugal has made clear time and time again is that he’s NOT saying there is clear-cut…

In an anomalous turn of events, it seems as if the History Channel realized audiences would feel a bit lackluster after Holy Cow and decided to make Season 5 Episode 3: Dead in the Water, jam-packed with excitement. As I mentioned in What’s Up?, The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch usually follows a structural pattern of…

By the end of Season 5 Episode 2 “Holy Cow” of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, ranch owner Brandon Fugal will boldly exclaim, “We are on the cusp of discovering the secret of Skinwalker Ranch.” How did we get here? Before we cover the experiment, yes singular, in “Holy Cow” I think it’s pertinent to…

Last summer, after being hit by a car for the first time, I was trying to find a good show to binge. That’s when a friend recommended The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. I knew the show by name, and lore, but had never pulled the trigger on watching it. As a fan of [fun] conspiracies,…

This review is dedicated to Jimmy Whiskers. Have you ever felt whiplash from reading a book? Have you ever seen a fully realized film in your head from reading a book? Have you ever read a book that left you turned on, disgusted, sad, and slightly optimistic? If you haven’t, then hot damn, do I…

What’s the movie you’ve watched more than any other? For me, it’s The Devil’s Rejects. On the surface, that may seem odd to pick due to its graphic nature and pleasantly unpleasant leads (who weave the line of protagonist and antagonist). When I was growing up, we would take one family vacation a year, and…

Based on a poem by Ed Justin, Pumpkinhead reared its bulbous dome into the hearts of horror fans in the late ‘80s. With Lance Henricksen and Stan Winston attached, audiences knew they were in good hands. Pumpkinhead would not end up like most ‘80s films and seemingly disappeared from the horror zeitgeist awfully fast. A…

Horror films of the 80s were a different breed. That’s not a statement on modern horror, horror before the 80s, or an indictment of 80s horror. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is a prime example of this. In 1986 TCM2 took a deeply dark and transgressive film and turned it into a horror comedy, an odd…
