Bustin' Makes Me Feel Good: Early Predictions for Ghostbusters 3
I am a lifelong Ghostbuster fan. Born in 1984 my formative years revolved around the original two movies and the Saturday morning cartoon series. It sparked a love in me of both the horror genre as well as a curiosity about the paranormal and the unknown. In the late 90’s I watched the short lived animated reboot, Extreme Ghostbusters and I have read volumes of the extended universe comic series that is available on Amazon and other online platforms. For years I have watched
Casting Fear
A month or so ago we did a write up on Video Palace, the first podcast from online streaming service Shudder written by Ben Rock and Bob DeRosa of 20 Seconds to Live. It was a fun, entertaining listen that met at the intersections of old school radio drama and found footage horror film and was genuinely refreshing. I came into the whole podcasting thing late in life and it's only been in the last year or so that I've started to really listen to and enjoy podcasts. There is li
Who Ya' Gonna Call?!
Ever have to sit down and eat crow? I mean, seriously eat crow. I just posted a long, ranting complaint about remakes and decades long delayed sequels and now I'm as giddy as a school child with the news that Jason Reitman is bringing us a new Ghostbusters film. That's right, the son of Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman is taking up the reigns of the beloved franchise to at last bring us a third film in the series. What we know is extremely limited but so far it's been repor
A Series of Unpopular Opinions - Cinematic Regurgitation
Note: The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and are not necessarily those of 52 Weeks of Horror or its affiliates/sponsors. In addition, I think he snuck in some salty language and some unfair judgements of beloved horror films. You've been warned. Remakes have been such an integral part of 21st century cinema that they’ve gone from being a sort of comical trope to a legitimate business model for a lot of major studios and filmmakers. Take a
A Year of Women in Horror - The Soska Sisters
We are huge admirers and fans of women in horror. We're thrilled to always share what female scaremakers are doing within our community and between Women in Horror Month and the Women in Horror Film Festival, we can't get enough fright from the female perspective. So, as 2019 dawns and a new year of terror begins, we've decided that instead of just jumping on the bandwagon in February that we're going to devote the entire year to women who have in the past or are currently ma
Magic, Mystery, and the Paranormal Aboard the Queen Mary
In September of 2018, Master Illusionist Aiden Sinclair opened a new theatre aboard the RMS Queen Mary in one of the most historically haunted areas of the ship. Since the opening of his theatrical séance, Illusions of the Passed, reports of paranormal activity in that area have increased dramatically. The Queen Mary is pleased to announce, Illusions of the Passed, will continue to lead guests through a journey back in time to meet the ghosts and legends of the ship throughou
The Thing on the Shelf - A Kid Friendly Christmas Horror
Christmas may be over but there's always that one last hurrah as the tree is coming down and the lights are twinkling their last for another year. It may be a card, a little gift, or that last bit of candy the kids missed but there is always something left behind as the trappings and decorations are put aside and life returns to normal. So imagine my surprise when I opened my email today and found a link to The Thing on the Shelf had been sent to me for review. This Christmas
