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

If you’ve been following on Facebook then you’ve no doubt seen the numerous mentions to the Nashville Zombie Walk that I’ve tried to drown scare makers with over the last year. I’ve talked about my complete ignorance over how to organize this sort of event, my shock at the outrageous amount of logistical and financial planning that goes into it, and my absolute relief in becoming friends and partners with a former director of the walk and now, after so many months of planning

As Friday the 13th steadily marches towards us this week like some machete wielding masked maniac, we thought it might be fun to share some of the best news, thoughts, and memories of Camp Crystal Lake and where better to begin than with an update on a project we’ve been following since January. Friday the 13th Part 3: The Memoriam Documentary is a one of a kind film chronicling not only the creation of one of the most iconic films in the franchise, but about the man who port

For horror fans, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. It’s the time when everyone else catches up and starts playing up the macabre aesthetic that we rep all year ‘round.

The month of October brings forth some stellar additions to Shudder, including these exclusives: 10/5: Seoul Station - Director Yeon Sang-ho’s animated prequel to his zombie sleeper hit Train to Busan tells the story of how it all began. As several gr

Atmospheric. It’s the first word, the best word to describe Samantha Kolesnik’s short film I Baked Him a Cake. The music is haunting, cold as we open up in a small, dimly lit room where a woman is busy at work with power tools. We cut to a scene on the wall, the silhouette of the woman and someone else cast on the wall.
