Every horror fan should know the story of the MGM studio fire. Sixty years ago, an electrical short caused a fire in Vault 7 of the MGM backlot just before ten o’clock at night on August 10, 1965. The nitrate film quickly burned, and the pressure building within the vault would eventually cause it to…

One of the films I most anticipated at this year’s FrightFest was undoubtedly Seth Daly’s The Rows. A film about a kid in a cornfield avoiding a group of murderers was like drawing a moth to a flame. Sure, the cornfield is getting a little overcrowded these days with a lackluster reboot of Children of…

Horror gameshow films have been around for a while now. My first introduction to the subgenre was likely through a segment of the John Ritter comedy Stay Tuned as a kid, a gateway horror title toward films like The Running Man, Deathrow Gameshow, $la$hers, and The Uh-Oh Show, which have all enhanced the depths of…

Haunt movies have become a bigger part of the horror landscape over the last few years. Films like Haunt, Hurt, and Hellfest have all been relatively successful in providing scares that make us question the sadism of the people providing our fear, especially when we clamor for more, holding the belief that everything we’re witnessing…

Imagine having nowhere to run to and nowhere to go that’s safe, not even being able to sleep without your nightmares reminding you that the color of your skin defines someone’s hatred for you. That’s the fresh idea behind Raven Deshay Carter’s debut film Noseeums. When social injustice and horror collide, the viewer often wins,…

At a time when businesses seem to have more rights than the people who work at them, a film like Night of Violence arrives to eviscerate your moral sensibilities. Illya Konstantin’s film plays with your sense of what’s right, actively has you siding with its supposed villains, but produces POV characters you also want to…

Welcome back, fellow ranchers! We have one more episode until we reach the finale of one of the messiest seasons in this show’s history. All was for naught when we learned that Brandon Fugal wanted to stop drilling Borehole 2. Some people, myself included, have been frustrated and left feeling slighted by this development. But…

Welcome back, fellow ranchers! We’re just three episodes away from the end of Season 6, and what a ride it has been. Let me tell you, it’s all for naught! There’s a decision made in this episode that makes this season and Season 5 basically pointless! Let’s dive into the episode that might make me…

I appreciate movies that hold their cards close to their chests for the majority of their runtime, refusing to reveal what the central conflict is truly about. There’s something exciting and intriguing about being brought along for a mystery and attempting to guess at what is actually going on. When the surprise is unveiled, it’s…

Welcome back, fellow ranchers! We’ve reached my least favorite point of every season of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch…the finale. This has been a roller coaster of a season, and I’m thankful for all of you who have joined us on this ride. In this season, we’ve experienced geysers, explosions, cave-ins, nearly-failed dams, and life-threatening…
