Right now, somewhere in the dark, cobweb-dusted recesses of my mind, a rabbit and a duck argue. Familiar voices bicker back and forth… “Rabbit season!” “Duck season!” “Rabbit season!” “Duck season!” It goes on like this for some time until a disheveled young girl in a pea soup-stained nightgown approaches, slaps them both senseless and [...]

Most years, the period between Halloween and Christmas was pure seasonal anthrax. Usually, holiday tunes had already bludgeoned us senseless and we were all already looking forward to the alcohol-blasted forgetfulness of New Year’s Eve. This year isn’t a whole lot different but now we have a chance to briefly revisit the halcyon nights of [...]

These days, there are two words that can strike fear into the hearts of many movie goers: “horror remake” – especially if those words are immediately followed by the words “from Platinum Dunes.” Usually, these words mark yet another pointless, vapid journey into tedium, 90 minutes that add nothing to the original story and are [...]

For some people, the sight of seeing a same sex couple holding hands is pretty frightening. Most of the rest of us prefer to find our frights in the confines of a movie theater. However, this weekend, Bloodbath Entertainment puts the two together in practical fashion when they present the Fears for Queers 2 Film [...]

In the beginning, as some people like to say, god created… well pretty much everything. But, it was kinda like throwing a party and nobody showing up, so god created guests: it solved the immediate problem and saved him on the cost of invitations. It wasn’t too long, though, before there was drama. God created [...]

In a perfect world, there is no crime, no disease. In a perfect world, we are at peace at the personal level, the global level and every level in between. In a perfect world, no good deed goes unrewarded, nice guys finish first and true love conquers all. In a perfect world, John Carpenter never [...]

To paraphrase something a wise woman once said, an assumption is a crap filled Twinkie: it looks great until you take a bite out of it.
