“The world of Gloom is a sad and benighted place.” These are the first lines of the instruction booklet for Keith Baker’s Gloom. Imagine, if you will, that the Addams Family designed and created their own version of the game of Life where your only goal was to inflict as much suffering on a family as possible before their inevitable deaths. Like golf, the person with the person with the lowest score wins. Grab a lively crowd for this one because it can go dark fast and, unles

It’s been 43 years since a struggling freelancer’s novel about a small town driven to the brink by an aquatic horror was adapted to film only to become a watershed cultural event that has scared generations away from the beach. Peter Benchley’s Jaws is arguably one of those monumental, genre changing works that has struck a chord with readers and moviegoers alike in a way that very few stories ever will. With imagery, references and characterizations that have rooted themselv

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 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

Until recently I’d never heard of David S. Pumpkins. And then our very own Haley JoAnna introduced me to one of the most absurd SNL skits I’ve seen since the Roxbury guys in the 90’s. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the premise, a couple goes to a haunted attraction, 100 Floors of Flights in which they ride an elevator through a spooky hotel and are greeted on each floor by terrors. The baffling David S. Pumpkins and his dancing skeleton cohorts make up the haunts o

At Buffalo Dreams, this title won “Best Comedy Feature,” with writer and actor Chad Ridgely in attendance. The film involves a team of paranormal investigators, who are in over their head. Their latest investigation, into a faux haunting, turns out to be real and one serial killer is back f

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
