• Joe Bob Briggs Draws Us Into Cryptids

    There is no shortage these days of charming anthology horror flicks coming out of the independent horror sector. With plenty of opportunity for a director to put their horror skills on display in a well-condensed package, anthologies are a fantastic way for up-and-coming talent to breathe some of their darkest ideas to life. Last week’s…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Down to the Center of the Earth (S2E7)

    Let’s rejoice, I have some juicy UFOTwitter gossip for you! If you’ve been following any of my coverage from The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch through my Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch coverage then you’ll know I’m not a huge fan of Lue Elizondo. In the past, I’ve called him Lie Elizondo and have jokingly referred…

  • Five Classic Zombie Movies George Romero Didn’t Direct

    If you ask a roomful of horror fans to name the first thing that comes to mind when you mention the phrase “zombie film,” a bunch of them are going to say George Romero, and for good reason. The guy’s 1968 debut Night of the Living Dead literally invented the modern zombie lore we all…

  • Elevation Risks It All in a World Gone to Ruins

    I’m a big fan of Anthony Mackie. The guy just exudes a cool charm and charisma whenever he’s on screen, so no matter how bad the rest of a film may be, he’s always an absolute joy to watch. Whether it’s silly B-movies like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, big-budget superhero blockbusters like Captain America: The…

  • Heretic Puts a Pair of Missionaries Through the Religious Wringer

    I’m not going to lie, I went into Heretic cautiously optimistic. The movie promised a thrilling exploration of religious faith in a horrific key, and I found that equal parts enticing and concerning. See, I’m Catholic, and my background is in theology and philosophy, so I have a deep interest in these kinds of questions.…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: The Void (S2E6)

    It seems a week or two of not interacting with UFOTwitter has harmed my Twitter algorithm. I still see a few posts here and there but it’s far from what it once was. This has caused me to start interacting with these posts again so hopefully, I have some fun Ufology news for you next…

  • He Never Left is the Slasher Film All Grown Up

    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…

  • Beyond the Wasteland Searches for Love in a Bleak World

    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…

  • Beyond the Woods: An Off-the-Beaten-Path Slasher Import

    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…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Radioactive Rocks (S2E5)

    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…
