Halloween (2007)Since today is Halloween I figured this would be the perfect movie to end Halloween week. Last night we carved our pumpkin and today my son is anxiously waiting to put on his costume and rush out to see how much candy he can get before he tires out. He is three so he... Continue Reading →
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)This movie seemed to start the big horror remake craze. Before this movie we hadn't had a remake of the big contemporary horror movie monsters like there are now. There have been plenty of continuations of Freddy, Jason, and Micheal Myers but no one had tackled redoing the movie that had started... Continue Reading →
Friday the 13th (2009)When this movie came out I was a little leery about another Friday the 13th movie. Sure the original ones were cheesy and ridiculous but that was the appeal. Later movies like Jason goes to Hell and Jason X were just bad movies. Needless to say I was afraid this was going... Continue Reading →
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)Welcome to Elm Street where the population continues to drop. I love this movie and the original because nothing is scarier than something that can get you in your dreams. When we sleep we can feel safe and relaxed, but what happens when your dreams turn against you? The concept... Continue Reading →
The October List I had no idea what to expect when I got this book. Of course I expected nothing less than classic Deaver twists and turns. I got all that and way more. Since I first heard about this book I had read a few descriptions, and it never registered that it was described as... Continue Reading →
JoylandI really enjoyed this book. I was so excited to hear about it because I am a big Stephen King fan, and I love the old pulp or noir style detective stories. This isn't a detective story, but it still has a very intriguing mystery. Here is the description from Goodreads:"I love crime, I love... Continue Reading →
Locke & Key Vol 5: Clockworks<!--[if !mso]>st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } <![endif]--> This is the book I have been waiting for in the Locke and Key series. The first four books were interesting but never really answered any of the questions I had. All the previous books did was introduce new keys and the magic they held. This... Continue Reading →
Sinister (2012)Summer is coming to a close and Fall is just around the corner. This means it is time for me to watch as many Horror movies as I can before Halloween. This is may favorite time of year and Halloween is my favorite holiday. Every year I watch the same movies in preparation for... Continue Reading →
Sons of Moriarty and More Stories of Sherlock HolmesThis is a collection of short stories written by several different authors all based on one of my favorite detectives, Sherlock Holmes. Being a fan of Conan Doyle's original work, I tend to be a bit critical of other authors who write stories with Holmes and Watson... Continue Reading →
Evil Dead 2013I'm a big fan of horror movies. The cheesier the better. Needless to say, the original Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 are some of my very favorites. When I saw that there was going to be a remake of the original I was torn. I was elated to see a re-imaging of... Continue Reading →
