I pretty much grew up on Beetlejuice. I loved the movie, I watched the TV show, and I even had a few Beetlejuice action figures, so when I heard that a sequel named Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was in the works, the news instantly caught my eye. And when I found out that Tim Burton, Michael Keaton,…

Over the last couple of weeks, FrightFest movies have consumed my life. I’ve seen vampires, banshees, serial killers, and surrealness portrayed in ways that surprised and antagonized, and hopefully, you’ve been along for the ride as well. However, with all of the horror and big ideas being displayed on screen, I’m still a sucker for…

Netflix movies are notoriously hit or miss, and that’s being generous. The vast majority of them come and go without much buzz or fanfare (if any!), so I don’t usually pay much attention to them. But the new exorcism film The Deliverance is one of the few exceptions. Before it came out, I heard that…

Bogieville was one of the films I was really hyped up for at this year’s FrightFest. I love a good vampire movie. Who doesn’t? The preview offered a no-holds-barred fight between two factions of feuding undead creatures of the night. I don’t know if other people do this with movies, or maybe even different color…

I don’t know about you, but I think The Demon Disorder is a great name for a horror movie. It’s short and to the point, and the alliteration makes it roll off the tongue with an almost poetic ease. It immediately caught my attention the first time I heard it, and when I saw the…

AI has a long and storied cinematic history. From classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner to modern gems like Upgrade and Ex Machina, it’s featured in some of the best genre films ever made. It’s pretty much become its own trope, and when done well, it can be amazing. So naturally, when…

When The Daemon was sent my way from one of my usual sources, it was a film that I almost immediately wanted to see. Both the description and the images included looked like they were my kind of jam. On top of that one of the leads, Sara Fletcher, was my first TV crush from…

I grew up watching old-school horror the way normal kids watch Disney movies. In fact, I’ve still never seen The Lion King, Pocahontas, or Beauty and the Beast in their entirety, but I recite the plots of films like Frankenstein, Psycho, and Creature from the Black Lagoon in my sleep. I just adore those black-and-white…

I’m not going to lie, when I first heard about Out Come the Wolves, I immediately thought of Rancid’s seminal 1995 album with almost the exact same name. That’s just how my punk rock-saturated brain works, but as irrelevant as that connection is, it proved to be quite fortuitous. It piqued my interest, and when…

I’m a sucker for all things monstrous, ghostly, and supernatural, so it should come as no surprise that The Monster Beneath Us was one of my most anticipated films at FrightFest this year. The title alone was enough to catch my attention, and when I read the plot synopsis and watched the trailer, I was…
