Serial by Jack Kilborn & Blake Crouch (Book Review)
Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking? #1: Don’t go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy. #2: Don’t pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be certifiably crazy. So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Crazy #2? This is the first in the terrifying trilogy of novellas including KILLERS and BIRDS OF PREY by Crouch and Kilborn.
The official plot description posted here honestly isn’t the best one. It leads you to believe, or at least it lead me to believe, that this book would be one story involving... Continue reading
Witch Water by Edward Lee (Book Review)
Welcome to Haver-Towne. The sedate colonial resort is the perfect place where Stew Fanshawe can get away from it all for a while. But instead of finding tranquility and self-reflection, Stew finds something much more unique: a town that was once steeped in a quagmire of witchcraft, satanic debauchery, and centuries-old occult science. Indeed, Haver-Towne has a most colorful history.
I was asked to give this a read and review it for the site and was happy to do so as I’ve heard many good things about the author. I don’t tend to seek out long drawn out reviews about books before I read them... Continue reading
Cut (2000)
The cast and crew of the horror flick Hot Blooded get a shock when a mysterious killer slaughters their director. Now, each time someone tries to complete the film there's another brutal slaying. But a little massacre isn't going to stop the next batch of bright would-be filmmakers: They'll finish the film if it kills them -- and it probably will -- in this gory horror flick starring Molly Ringwald.
Not a whole lot to say about this movie honestly. It's pretty straight forward, nothing awful, but nothing great. Continue reading

Wishmaster (1997)
Alex Amberson, who works in an auction house, receives a gemstone for evaluation and accidentally awakens a Djinn who is trapped inside. The Djinn later escapes but now he must find the one who awakened him and force her to make three wishes so the other Djinn may be released too.
I originally saw this back in the late 90s. Probably when it first came out to video stores as I worked in one and I found myself hanging out in the Horror section often. Going into it now over a decade later I couldn’t remember much about the movie... Continue reading
Don’t Go in the Woods (2010)
A group of indie rockers seek solitude deep in the woods to write songs for a new album. But they soon realize they're not alone when a sledgehammer-brandishing intruder arrives in this chilling musical slasher directed by actor Vincent D'Onofrio.
I saw the trailer for this movie months ago. I was a little leery about it, but it based on the trailer it looked interesting. Honestly, I sort of forgot all about it until last night when I was browsing new movies to Netflix streaming and saw this listed there... Continue reading
