Anyone who knows me even marginally well knows that I love food that’s bad for me (particularly of the limited edition variety) and monsters of any kind. I’d argue that sharks are the best kind of monster. They’re powerful, they ride the line between beauty and terror, and they’re deeply misunderstood. For me, that’s the […]

Ecto Cooler Is Back!
Ecto Cooler is officially back, folks. What a time to be alive. Well, what a time to be alive if you have means to get your hands on it, at least. Officially launching yesterday, Ecto Cooler’s release was met with a bit of blowback due in no small part to the scarcity and a much […]
Summer Spooks – 8 Movies To Watch This Summer
Ah, it’s summer time once again. Cookouts, water parks, tank tops being a thing for a couple months… I honestly loathe the summer. I’m not built for summer. I’m a nighttime person all year, but I become even more of an awful cave person during the summer in Texas. When you see the forecast for […]

Ghostbusters Haul – Marshmallows, Toys, Victory
So, it has come to my attention that I may have a problem. Hi everyone, my name is Nathan and I love Ghostbusters too much.

Each month I’ll take a look at genre films currently available to stream on Netflix Instant and give you a couple picks I think you’ll dig. Sometimes they’ll be horror. Okay, probably the majority of the time, but I’ll also throw […]
On The Busting of Ghosts and Sexism
Yesterday, the internet lost it’s mind about Ghostbusters (2016). While I wish it was because Twitter has a new Ghostbusters emoji if you hashtag Ghostbusters, it wasn’t. It was a bunch of gross sexism.
Green Room Review – Not Exactly ‘Sitting In The Waiting Room’
Green Room is a well-crafted and tense siege movie set in the backwoods of Oregon. More importantly, Green Room is punk as fuck.
Summer, Death, and Depth: The Ghost of Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th has a spot among the horror icons, and rightfully so. Pamela and Jason cast a long shadow, and many films are accused of being Friday the 13th ripoffs. Do they all deserve it?
