A few months ago I heard about a comic book series called Revival, and that it had been optioned for a SYFY television series. How did I miss this? Me being me, I hit my local comic shops, bought all the back issues, and read the entire series in a frenzy. It was fantastic, and I’ve…
Inspiration is often hard to come by. Whenever I’m in a slump I turn to the masters for a little encouragement and sound advice. Stephen King is one of my all-time favorite authors. His book On Writing is a favorite how-to book on the craft of writing (and life) and occupies a venerated space on my bookcase….
Stephen King’s classic novel, Carrie, turns 50 this year and that is indeed a reason to celebrate. I must admit I avoided reading Stephen King for a long time. In fact, I seldom read horror fiction at all prior to moving to Colorado in 1987. I love horror movies, but for a long time it never…
I wasn’t really a fan of zombie movies until recently. In fact, I don’t think I’d ever seen a zombie movie per se (except for The Evil Dead which a friend insisted I watch when it first came out on VHS tape). It wasn’t until 2002 when 28 Days Later hit theaters that I really started to get interested….

There’s something about these tragic immortal beings forever stalking the night in search of human blood that I find immensely compelling. When I was a wee ghoul 1931’s Dracula was probably one of…
I have always loved horror movies. I grew up watching Chuck Acri’s Creature Feature every Friday on late night television. In this way I probably consumed most of the Universal monster movie library, numerous Hammer horror films, and a vast number of atomic monster movies popularized by Toho Co., Ltd and others before I reached middle school. When…
Movie review of The Boogeyman, streaming now on Hulu I’ve come to think of Halloween as a season, rather than just a single day, and it’s the perfect time to check out the latest crop of horror movies. I’ve seen a lot of really bad horror films in my life but I have to say…
