Return of the Living Dead

By Ryan Brlecic

You saw Night of the Living Dead, right? Well what if I told you it was all real and that they made the movie to discredit its reality. And thus, you have the premise for this very off beat horror-comedy. As I hope to get around to shining some love on one of the few good parts of the 80’s – the brilliant horror movies made throughout the decade – I would be remiss to not mention this film on list of the great horror movies of any decade

Carnival of Souls

By Ryan Brlecic

One decision, one element, one fact and the world around you can suddenly become a very different place. John le Carre said it best, “Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-night drive, we are the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen.”

The Abominable Dr. Phibes

By Ryan Brlecic

Where can we find two better hemispheres, without sharp north, without declining west? My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, and true plain hearts do in thee faces rest. -John Doone, The Good-Morrow

Since it was built a century ago, seven people including my brother have been murdered in it, since then, I’ve owned the house.

Jeepers Creepers

By Tom Nix

For any of you who used to read my online blog almost ten years ago, you may remember an entry about how Jeepers Creepers turned me into a “whiny pussy.” Let me take you through the steps to my destruction

THE TWILIGHT ZONE 50th Anniversary

By Tom Nix

Fifty years ago today, Rod Serling’s THE TWILIGHT ZONE aired its first episode “Where is Everybody?” across the country. This is far too short a piece to really pay tribute to what is possibly the greatest American television show of all time. So, until a time where its magnificence can be praised in far more detail, I want to share some of my gratitude

The Long Good Friday 001

The Long Good Friday is a continuing weekly column that tries to thematically or tangentially link together three varying films that would make one hell of an evening at the home theater. Most of these flicks are readily available from Netflix, Blockbuster or Amazon, and some are even available on demand. This is our attempt at a gateway drug to irresponsible movie-watching
