In the Haddonfield-like city of Larson, residents are accustomed to flyers sporting the word ‘missing.’ The town’s spirited history marred by the long reign of terror wrought by masked serial killer Pale Face has left an indelible mark and an unease that his disappearance was never the end of his killing spree. Seventeen years after…

Post-apocalyptic horror films are everywhere these days. Just this year, we’ve gotten Never Let Go, Arcadian, and A Quiet Place: Day One, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg. These movies are as popular as ever, and while your mileage may vary, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Sure, I don’t love every…

I think it’s safe to assume that anyone reading this article right now knows that I’m constantly scouring the edges of bargain bins, the corners of the internet, and the never-ending depths of streaming services to introduce readers to films outside of the mainstream that they’ve likely never been introduced to. Halloween is always a…

There will be no author’s note this time. When I say I haven’t interacted with UFOTwitter in over a week I mean it! I’ve been so insanely busy and haven’t spent much time doom scrolling through multiple arguments and threads. I did spend about $250 at Arrow Video, though. If that means anything. Anyway, let’s…

Frequently, there will be Q&A sessions with…

When someone mentions Beauty and the Beast, what comes to mind? For most people, it’s probably the animated film from the 1990s, but the story is actually much older than that. It’s a centuries-old fairy tale that’s been adapted for the big screen multiple times, and my personal favorite is the 1946 French version. But…

I’m not going to sit here and tell you that the Venom movies are great. They’re not. They have all sorts of storytelling problems, but despite that, I still think they’re a ton of fun. I’ll always be a fan of this franchise, so when I heard Sony was making a third Venom film, I…

Whether you’re a longtime horror veteran or you just like to dip your toes in the genre every once in a while, I’m sure you’ve seen at least one film where a priest saves a helpless victim from a malicious demon. Ever since The Exorcist, exorcism, and specifically Catholic exorcism, has been a staple of…

Before we get into this week’s episode of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, I wanted to bring up something that came to light around the morning of October 13th. Users across TikTok reported something odd over the skies of Washington D.C., Virginia, and North Carolina. It should be noted that this story seemingly doesn’t have…
