I’m a big fan of religious horror. Whether it’s cults, exorcisms, or just religious people being evil, the combination of faith and fright resonates with me on a deep level.

Now that Season 5 of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch has come to an end, I’ve found myself longing for more high strangeness. Even if this latest season of Skinwalker Ranch fluctuated in quality, I still love it. While writing up coverage for Episodes 13 and 14 The Breakthrough & Shock and Awe I had…

So I’m fresh off of seeing Milk & Serial about five minutes ago, and it’s something that I need to write about. Let’s get into it. Found footage is a tricky sub-genre of horror to get right, but when it’s done right, it’s done right. I think that’s exactly what Milk & Serial manages to…
