Jeff and Haley have been burning up Twitch with Slayaway Camp, Witcher, and several other horror inspired video games lately. I’ve actually found myself getting hooked in with them for Trivia Murder Party. But I’m still as bigger fan of setting up a table, having some people over, and throwing down a board game for an evening of fun and gruesomeness. But I’m not talking about Yahtzee or Go Fish. Thanks in no small part to the ongoing culture of hipsterism, board games and car

When people hear the name Nashville, their thoughts immediately turn to cowboy hats, rhinestones, and the Grand Ole Opry. Twanging country music and smokey honky tonk bars fill the mind and evoke a very specific style. The one thing no one expects is a vibrant and growing horror community deep in the heart of Music City. Daisy Dukes, so named because they make “short shorts” is the collaborative brainchild of Dycee Wildman, Jennifer Bonior, and Stephanie Adams. The trio met d

There’s nothing better than waking up during this festive season, checking the e-mail and seeing a scare maker share their work with us; it’s a spooky surprise, a creepy stocking stuffer, a present of horror – and thanks to Andrew J.D. Robinson of Workobeyfilms here are four short films to make holidays a little more red. Robinson has four short films and first up is, Sightings with a run-time of 02m: 06s. This short film explores the emotional loss two sisters feel for the

I’m all about making memories during the holidays. The fact that most of those memories could be considered traumatizing or deranged is of absolutely no consequence. While everyone else is decking the halls, here’s a few simple ideas to help you have a Scary Christmas this season. New Traditions - The Nightmare Before Christmas Just like The Night Before Christmas, The Nightmare Before Christmas can make for an excellent holiday tradition and the perfect gift for children of

I warn you now, American Horror Story fans, there are spoilers ahead so if you haven’t caught yourself up on the current season, don’t write me a bunch of angry emails later. Go watch episode 7 (Valerie Solanas Died for Our Sins: Scumbag) and then come back to this interview. Otherwise, be brave and dive head first into this piece featuring a talented newcomer to the horror genre, Miguel Sagaz. While Sagaz is a seasoned actor who began his career in Hollywood in 2005, he’s al

Back in September I told you about the incredible Women in Horror Film Festival in Peachtree City, Georgia. For three days attendees were given the chance to not only watch some of the most amazing independent horror films by women from all roles in the industry but also had the chance to discuss these fantastic movies with the creators themselves. Unlike some festivals that come across as stuffy and inhospitable to all but the industry elite, the producers of Women in Horror

I want to start this off by both thanking Juan Gabriel Pareja as well as offering my sincere apologies. I made a few mistakes when it came to this interview and looked like a complete fool which Mr. Pareja seemed happy to overlook. Fans know him best as Morales from AMC’s The Walking Dead and recently I had the distinct pleasure of talking to him about his career and his role on the hit wildly popular zombie apocalypse drama. Despite priding myself on a certain level of profe

As a fiction writer, I’m very critical of story no matter what it is I choose to review. I’ve watched films that have had terrible production and acting but have been saved by a unique and well written story. The same is true about books. Writing a book is a long, difficult process and the reception of it is so much harder to gauge. The truth is people just don’t seem as inclined to read, think, and imagine the way they used to and it makes a writer’s job so much harder. In a

Before we dive into drink recipes, let's talk about the safe handling of dry ice. What is dry ice? Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide with a temperature reading of -109.3 °F. With that being said, never handle dry ice with your bare hands. Frostbite can occur from improper handling of dry ice. Gloves and/or tongs should be used to safely handle something that extremely cold. Where can I get some dry ice? You don't have to break into a science lab to get a chunk of
