  • Folk Tales and Murder Scenes Collide in The Soul Eater

    Injecting supernatural elements into investigative thrillers is becoming increasingly mainstream these days. The incredible popularity of True Detective over the last decade has proved that a little cosmic mystery goes a very long way with investigative thriller fans looking to unravel an act so heinous it could hardly be grounded in reality. Enter The Soul…

  • Dances With Films NYC 2024: Bleeding Elevates the Vampire Genre

    When it comes to vampire movies, there’s very little left to the imagination. We’ve seen period pieces like Last Voyage of the Demeter and Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and then there are the more modern ideas like Abigail and Renfield. But as far as content, we’ve been locked into a tired pattern of predator and prey,…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Death Trap (S4E3)

    I’m writing this shortly after covering Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, Season 4 Episode 2, “The Curse of the Aztecs,” which means I don’t have much information on the Ufology front. There is some news we can mention regarding UFOTwitter. Have you seen any of those articles flying around that are reporting multiple anomalous drones…

    This week brings us another fascinating episode of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch! Before we take a sneak peek at what Duane Ollinger and his team have to offer, let’s take a quick look at Episode 2 and remind ourselves what went down. It should be noted that Season 4 Episode 1 has been renamed…

  • Sohome Horror Fest 24: Pater Noster and the Mission of Light Throws it Back to Hippies, Vinyl, and Cults

    In 2021, the Sohome Horror Film Festival gave us a look at Bad Girls, Christopher Bickel’s underground road movie about a trio of women fed up navigating the misogynistic society that profits off their backs. The film heralded back to the grindhouse era as the women decide to rob a strip club with a chauvinistic…

  • A Gory Island Escapade with Nick Frost Awaits in Get Away

    Twenty years ago, Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead introduced the world to a pair of super believable best friends. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s incredible chemistry led the pair to multiple team-up efforts, even beyond Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy. Pegg and Frost have since become household names. However, 2024 has been particularly loaded with Nick…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: The Curse of the Aztecs (S4E2)

    There is a lot to unpack in this week’s episode of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, but before we do, there’s something Ufology-related we need to discuss. And no, we’re not going to discuss the fact that Lue Elizondo has doubled down on using more debunked photos in his presentations or that he may have…

    Y2K: Party Like It’s 1999

    Walking into a classroom at MIT to attend a screening of Kyle Mooney’s Y2K is about as meta as it gets. As a huge fan of those old William Castle gimmicks, the simple idea of seeing a film about the AI apocalypse on New Year’s Eve in 1999 in a place synonymous with building AI-driven…

  • Jersey Shore’s “JWoww” Directs Found Footage Film ‘Devon’

    Exclusively premiering on Screambox this November alongside Cryptids is a found footage film from writer/director Jenni “JWoww” Farley. You may be asking yourself, “JWoww? Like Jersey Shore, JWoww?” And I’m here to tell you, yes, Jenni Farley made a horror movie. I would also say it’s a commendable first endeavor into the genre. Found footage films…

  • Five Modern Ghost Movies You Have to Check Out

    Last week, I wrote an article recommending five ghost movies every horror fan needs to check out, but that list was incomplete. I only looked at classic films from the 1940s to the 1980s, and as I’m sure you know, the subgenre has given us some absolute bangers in the 40 years since then. In…
