So, what makes directors Sarah Jayne Poretlli and Ivan Malekin’s

Functionally, these middle eight episodes are analogous to the second part of any trilogy. The stakes get higher. Our heroes face desperate odds. The story feels ominous, and things
- [Reed’s Point Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/reeds-point-movie-review/) - There’s a surprising dearth of Jersey Devil movies out there. Of all the cryptid stories and creepy monster tales floating about, the 13th child of Jane Leeds seems to shy away from the spotlight.

- [The Lights of Prague Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/lights-prague-book-review/) - Despite my overwhelming desire to visit macabre places around the globe, I have yet to step foot in the magical city of Prague.

- [The Acid King: The Birth of America's Satanic Panic Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/acid-king-birth-americas-satanic-panic-movie-review/) - Try to resist the impulse though we might, we define our eras by their crimes. You think of sooty, oppressive, desperately poor Victorian London and you think of Jack the Ripper. Get as dewy-eyed as you want about Woodstock and the Summer of Love, but a dark corner of the ‘60s will always belong to
- [Ankle Biters Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/ankle-biters-movie-review/) - Little girls are supposed to be made up of sugar and spice and everything nice, right? That’s not always the case, especially in horror. Killer kids are always fun to watch and in a quirky little story called Ankle Biters (aka Cherrypickers), it’s definitely a case of the more, the merrier. This strangely entertaining tale

The very last season of AMC’s hit horror opus The Walking Dead is coming in for a landing and we’re already neck-deep in rank offal.

- [Royal Jelly Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/royal-jelly-movie-review/) - “I’ll take Royal Jelly,” I say. “Only because I like the name.” “You’re a brave man,” responds Ravenous Monster’s somewhat quizzical honcho, Jason Thorson. “It’s all yours.” Rrrrrrright. As they say about books, you can’t judge ’em by its cover. Ditto films by title. So begets this little ditty ’bout Jam and dustpan (apologies, Mr.

- [Baby Frankenstein Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/baby-frankenstein-movie-review/) - So, I just watched what just may be the most terrifying horror movie of 2020 thus far. Surprisingly, this film has nothing to do with terrible worldwide pandemics or corrupt politics. In fact, what it does deal with is something far more horrible. My friends, this nightmare of a film is called Baby Frankenstein, brought

- [The Stylist Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/stylist-movie-review/) - Sometimes it's easier to share your secrets with a stranger. You'll never see them again, so you don't care about their opinions. They're barely even a real person in your mind. But what does it feel like to always be the stranger on the receiving end of that kind of one-sided intimacy? That's the question

Today, I’m here to tell you a little bit about Chilean writer/director Patricio Valladares’s Embryo, a sci-fi/horror anthology about aliens that like to get their freak on with unsuspecting human hosts.

- [Road Head Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/road-head-movie-review/) - Road Head, a Terror Films release now available via VOD and on DVD (for the Neanderthals among us), is one of those rare films with a title that’s both literal and figurative. But it’s the literal interpretation that sets the stage for what is -- alliteration alert! -- the most quintessentially quirky queer quest for
- [The Walking Dead Season 10 Epilogue Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/walking-dead-season-10-epilogue-review/) - The idea of being a victim of one’s own success has always been a difficult concept for me to grok. It comes off like a billionaire telling you that money can’t buy you happiness as they dab away their tears with a golden hanky. However, having witnessed the strange trajectory of AMC’s undisputed hit-of-the 2010s

We can’t live there as we live upon land. Even in the
- [Sacrilege Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/sacrilege-movie-review/) - Horror is a mayhem-fueled world of slashers, zombies, ghosts, aliens, psychos and monsters. Films in the genre often provide diversionary relief from the just-as-stressful realities of pandemics, insurrections, racism, culture wars, polarizing politics and, well, monsters. (Here’s looking at you, Trump.) Oops. Guess I just played my part in polarization. As the Reese’s Peanut Butter

Pop Mality took me downtown to one of the local theaters (this being the fondly remembered days before mall multiplexes took over) to see a peculiar film called The Legend of Boggy Creek. It was an odd low-budget flick that used

- [The Good Things Devils Do Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/good-things-devils-do-movie-review/) - Low-budget horror films are kind of a category unto themselves. When it comes to a critique, you’re somewhat honor bound to review them on their terms, taking into account the penny-pinching science that goes into special effects, scoring and, of course, casting. That’s why when I saw the crew lined up for The Good Things

- [Widow’s Point Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/widows-point-movie-review/) - Personally, nothing beats a well-crafted haunted house story. Perhaps my affinity for them is rooted in the fact that they are just so damn hard to get right. For every The Changeling or The Others, there is a Walmart bin of lazy attempts and half-baked ideas that simply miss the mark. Which brings us to

- [Escape: Puzzle of Fear Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/escape-puzzle-fear-movie-review/) - There’s nothing like a good plot twist to make your eyes widen, your jaw drop and the hairs on the back of your neck tingle. That is, if it’s a twist that catches you by surprise. If it’s one you spot a mere 10 minutes into a movie, the suspense dissipates faster than rain on
- [LOVECRAFT COUNTRY Episode 1: Sundown Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/lovecraft-country-episode-1-sundown-review/) - It’s a great time to be a fan of H.P. Lovecraft. If you want proof, just look at all the controversy over his racism. Hear me out, fellow cultists. I’ve written elsewhere about parsing Lovecraft’s antisemitism as a Jew (TL;DR, it was a rare instance of malignant illogicality on the part of a generally decent,
- [All Hail the Popcorn King Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/hail-popcorn-king-movie-review/) - Joe R. Lansdale is the Mark Twain of genre fiction. I can’t think of a more thoroughly American horror writer, with the possible exception of Ambrose Bierce. But for all Bierce’s brilliance, his vision was sharply defined by unwavering misanthropy and cynicism. Lansdale, like Twain, has range. He’s done horror, crime fiction, Westerns, comics, and
- [Homewrecker Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/homewrecker-movie-review/) - Homewrecker, the new movie directed by Zach Gayne and released by Uncork’d Entertainment, is a modern and stylish psychological thriller.

I had no idea he was sick so his death comes as quite a shock. The malevolent “C-Word” snatches another one from our midst and leaves a hole in horror cinema that’s
- [Wrestlemassacre Movie Review: A Cinematic Death Match](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/wrestlemassacre-movie-review-cinematic-death-match/) - Greetings, sports fans! Time for a confession. When I’m not hacking up bodies in the lab or working on ways to resurrect them, I do like to occasionally kick back and relax with athletic competition. Traditional “sports ball” games don’t engage me that much, but when it comes to the grunt and groan antics of

Civil unrest roils in the streets. The economy teeters on the brink of catastrophe. Also…I’m super bored. So, what are some things that can mitigate this misery?

Over the past several decades horror films have evolved, keeping this subgenre fresh, but these staples are ever present. In fact, the horror genre grossed over $1 billion at the box office in 2018, revealing that moviegoers are still

- [Luz Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/luz-movie-review/) - The receptionist in a police precinct lobby blindly goes about his work when an obviously injured woman enters. She stares at him for several minutes; he does not look up. She haltingly, agonizingly walks toward a vending machine, buys a can of soda, drinks it. She eases her way back toward the door, looks again
- [The Luring Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/luring-movie-review/) - Like many of you, I’ve been looking for some decent, satisfying horror to watch during these crazy times. The horror offerings on many of the streaming platforms have been tame for the most part. I haven’t seen anything new that’s blown my mind or made me excited. This makes me a sad Barb. However, after
- [Ouijageist Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/ouijageist-movie-review/) - Why on Earth would anybody mess around with a Ouija board? Judging from the awful results of using one seen in dozens of movies and TV shows over the years, you’d have to be a few McNuggets shy of a Happy Meal to try contacting the spirits by means of Ouija. Seriously, can you name
- [Girls Just Wanna Have Blood Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/girls-wanna-blood-movie-review/) - Girls Just Wanna Have Blood, written and directed by Anthony Catanese, is the type of film that you’d expect to see screening around 4:15am at a local exploitation horror film fest. That’s not a knock on these sorts of films, but if you are expecting anything other than tasteless teenage humor focusing mostly on tits
- [Evil Little Things Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/evil-little-things-movie-review/) - Evil Little Things, directed by Matt Green, is an independent anthology film all about creepy dolls. While it’s a lower budget genre film, this new release from Uncork’d Entertainment has enough well-done elements to rise above some of its peers. Technically, there are three main stories including the wrap around. However, the wrap around really
- [Cry Havoc Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/cry-havoc-movie-review/) - We can’t get to the movie -- Cry Havoc -- until we address the elephant in the room. That elephant is the late Charles Bronson, the rugged he-man of the Death Wish movies and so many others in the ’60s (The Magnificent Seven, The Dirty Dozen), ’70s (Hard Times, Breakheart Pass) and ’80s (10 To

- [Abominable Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/abominable-movie-review/) - I've been watching a lot of ‘80s direct-to-video creature features lately. I couldn't tell you for sure exactly how I got started down that particular cinematic rabbit hole, just that it's addictive once you start. Something about B-movie efforts, with their bald-faced earnestness and enthusiastic effects, can't help but be charming. Abominable, a 2020 release
- [Trailer Drops for Post-Modern Slasher Flick CRY HAVOC Coming this May](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/trailer-drops-post-modern-slasher-flick-cry-havoc-coming-may/) - What can I say, Horror Fans? I’d be a liar if I didn’t admit that the notion of pitting a dead ringer for Charles Bronson (Robert Bronzi) against a slasher killer kept inside a compound and used as a security force by an infamous criminal is an idea I’m entirely susceptible to, quality or execution

- [Horror Movies’ 5 Creepiest Psychics](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/horror-movies-5-creepiest-psychics/) - Many of the greatest horror movies have psychic elements. Telepathy, although useful if belonging to good characters, has caused unbelievable havoc when used by the evil characters in these movies. While only some horror movie psychics are evil, almost all are creepy – even if they use their powers for good. It’s a casualty of the job,
- [The Invisible Man Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/invisible-man-movie-review/) - When I was a kid, the TV series The A-Team—a show about four Vietnam vets who dished out vigilante justice on behalf of the innocent while being on the run themselves—was extremely popular and when we neighborhood children would get together, we’d pretend we were A-team members, naturally. All of us wanted to be B.A.

- [Cupid Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/cupid-movie-review/) - Love is in the air, everywhere you look around, during this time of year. But you’ve been misled your entire life, folks. Cupid doesn’t actually enjoy love--in fact, the mythological creature hates everything about it and the people who celebrate the Hallmark holiday on February 14th. Cupid starts off quite promising--an animated sequence tells us

Apart from a killer plot and good acting, they also rely largely on visual effects that include costume, makeup design, and all the gory special effects that keep us captivated for hours on end.

This is not surprising considering the nearly 2 million home invasions that take place in the USA every year. The idea of intruders entering your home and threatening you and your loved ones is one of

- [The Ultimate ‘70s Horror Movie-Inspired Road Trip](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/ultimate-70s-horror-movie-inspired-road-trip/) - The road trip is a classic American pastime that has been featured in horror films such as Jeepers Creepers, Funny Games, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. And while your idea of a good time may not involve getting chased by a psychopath on wheels, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t go on a horror movie-inspired
- [Watch the Trailer for INNER GHOSTS, Haunting DVD and Digital this January](https://ravenousmonster.com/news/watch-trailer-inner-ghosts-haunting-dvd-digital-january/) - The thing that typified horror cinema of the 2010s more than just about anything else was the proliferation of movies about ghosts or ghost-adjacent entities, from the Paranormal Activity franchise to The Conjuring and its several offshoots, apparitions have been everywhere. So, why stop now? Writer/director Paula Leite, by way of Uncork’d Entertainment, intends to
- [The Tokoloshe Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/tokoloshe-movie-review/) - “Why do you like horror?” We get this question a lot, usually from people too puritanical or weak stomached to enjoy the genre, but this time was different. The woman who asked me was a refuge from Iraq. “I’ve seen too much horror,” she said. “I don’t like it.” I had no good answer; I
- [This Is Our Home Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/home-movie-review/) - If there’s one thing I love, it’s a scary story with a creepy kid as its main monster. I mean, kids are scary enough in real life, right? I have two of my own and I know this to be true. So, when I saw the trailer for Omri Dorani’s new film called This Is
- [The Walking Dead Season 10 Midterm Report Card](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/walking-dead-season-10-midterm-report-card/) - If you’re at least my age and you were around for the golden era of the American sitcom, then you’re familiar with the following scenario: A hit show based on a family dynamic starts to lose steam as the child actors grow out of their roles. At this point, the all-knowing and wise producers step
- [Doctor Sleep Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/doctor-sleep-movie-review/) - Confession time: I prefer Stanley Kubrick’s take on The Shining to Stephen King’s. That’s not a knock on King. I burned through the original novel in a couple days when I picked it up back in college. But precious little fiction in any medium can lay claim to the brooding menace that infuses every scene
- [Portal Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/portal-movie-review/) - You’ve no doubt seen those supernatural reality shows dotting your channel guide. Most are low-budget affairs that promise much and deliver little. The same could be said of Ghost Seekers, whose crew is having great difficulty scaring up paranormal entities. As lead investigator Steve (Ryan Merriman) puts it, “Hard evidence is exactly that -- hard
- [Blood Myth Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/blood-myth-movie-review/) - In our ultra-modern and super-connected world, the past seems almost superfluous. We are so used to our modern conveniences that it seems our ancestors must have been another species entirely. What happened even ten years ago seems like a different lifetime. But the past is not so easily erased. It patiently endures and continues into
- [Pumpkins Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/pumpkins-movie-review/) - Horrorween is just a few days away, and I don’t know about you, but this is my favorite time of the year. Now that my family and I have relocated from the Hellmouth (aka Florida) to the Midwest for a bit, we finally get the opportunity to experience what a “real” Halloween looks and feels
- [When Gifts Go Wrong: Horror Movie Addition](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/gifts-go-wrong-horror-movie-addition/) - Despite having the best intentions at heart, sometimes an innocent and thoughtful gift can turn into a living nightmare. Whether it be an expensive diamond ring, a cute looking teddy or a jack-in-the-box, some toys and accessories have a world of their own and may be plotting to terrorize or even murder their unsuspecting new
- [Clownado Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/clownado-movie-review/) - This clownado swirls up a whole lot of crazy characters, cheap-chunky guts and a little T&A. Director Todd Sheets (Dreaming Purple Neon, Bonehill Road), wrote, directed and edited Clownado and much in the same fashion of his other films, Clownado harkens back to grindhouse and pulp influences, but despite the ambitious effort to merge clowns
- [Ashes Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/ashes-movie-review/) - Most of us have a creepy relative or black sheep tucked somewhere into the recesses of our family. They’re whispered about, often avoided and, on occasion, laughed at … NOT in the best sense of comic relief. Enter Aunt Marion, the strange object of disaffection in Barry Jay’s directorial debut, Ashes. Auntie M’s weirdness is
- [Empathy, Inc. Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/empathy-inc-movie-review/) - If you know me, you know that I’m usually not a huge fan of sci-fi. I don’t hate the genre, but I also don’t really geek out over the latest “Star”-whatever release. However, there are some pretty killer offerings that I do, in fact, enjoy. One of these being writer/director Yedidya Gorsetman’s brilliant film, Empathy,
- [Horror Movie Camping Trips Gone Wrong: A List](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/horror-movie-camping-trips-wrong/) - Everyone loves a good toe-curling, teeth-clenching and spine-tingling horror story! Some of the most nerve crunching scary movies have been set in the woods during camping trips, and for good reason. The unfamiliar surroundings and vast rural settings mean that the fear of the unknown looms large. Exposed and vulnerable, the imagination plays tricks on
- [Wicked Witches Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/wicked-witches-movie-review/) - Formerly known as The Witches of Dumpling Farm directed by Martin J Pickering and written by Martin and his brother Mark, I was really looking forward to checking out Wicked Witches. I love movies based on witchcraft. There simply aren’t enough films in that genre. I’m also all about indie flicks and I definitely enjoy
- [The Making of Alien Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/making-alien-book-review/) - If you run in the circles in which I run, chances are you’ve been asked whether you prefer Star Wars or Star Trek at least once. The only answer to that question, of course, is Alien. Alien is such a part of our culture that it can be easy to forget what a revolutionary movie
- [The VelociPastor Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/velocipastor-movie-review/) - Lord have mercy. So, I just finished watching the award-winning, highly anticipated film, The VelociPastor. Writer/director Brendan Steere’s parodical story about how a “man of the claw” discovers that he’s got the ability to transform into a fierce velociraptor to battle evil…or ninjas. Sounds like a great plot, right? I know, I was super excited
- [D-Railed Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/d-railed-movie-review/) - Trains make wonderful movie sets, particularly if the director wants to imbue his or her work with a sense of danger and claustrophobia. Sure, the clickety-clack of your locomotive may be relaxing, but you’re a captive audience in cloistered confines perched on steel rails often hurtling at breakneck speed over mountains, rivers and isolated terrain.
- [On the Fringe: Villains as Social Outcasts](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/fringe-villains-social-outcasts/) - In horror, it’s generally easy to tell who the victim is and who is the villain. The victim can usually be found screaming and running from the killer, often in vain. But what makes a villain villainous? With some characters there is an intrinsic sense of evil, like Randall Flagg from The Stand or the
- [Clinton Road Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/clinton-road-movie-review/) - Take the most notoriously haunted area in the U.S. and litter it with a bunch of the douchiest douchebags to ever exist, and whaddaya get? You get one of the dumbest “horror” movies ever made. Clinton Road is the title of this movie, and there’s not much, if anything, nice that can be said about
- [Dolls Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/dolls-movie-review/) - The horror genre sure loves a possessed doll, doesn’t it? I’ve never been a fan of dolls. In fact, I’ve stripped, amputated and decapitated my fair share of them in my lifetime. Oh, and let it be known that I’ll smack the shit out of a bitch if they think it’s cute to call me
- [Fact or Fiction: The Line Begins to Blur for These Horror Villains](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/fact-fiction-line-begins-blur-horror-villains/) - Horror fans are a ravenous breed, and their numbers are swelling. 2017 was a record setting year for the genre, scoring a collective box office yield of well over $700 million. But what makes a horror villain iconic? For some it’s the actor, such as Tim Curry’s endlessly frightening portrayal of Pennywise the Clown in 1990’s classic,
- [Godzilla, King of The Monsters Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/godzilla-king-monsters-movie-review/) - Being a professor of kaijuology, I know a thing or two about giant monsters. Yet, MONARCH never bothered to give me a call. Based on what I see of that organization in Godzilla, King of the Monsters, it’s probably just as well. They don’t seem to know Ghidorah from fedora. But that is neither here
- [All My Colors Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/all-my-colors-book-review/) - At first blush, All My Colors seems to slot neatly into the subgenre of "writer horror" -- a book that delves into the fear that lingers at the edges of creativity. In some respects, it shares much in common with Stephen King's novella Secret Window, Secret Garden or Kathe Koja’s cosmic artist’s horror, Cipher. But
- [Terror in the Skies Documentary Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/terror-skies-documentary-review/) - Giant birds snatching children out of yards. Terrifying man-bird hybrids stalking the countryside in the middle of the night. Pterodactyls screaming through the clouds! Welcome to Illinois, folks! I have always been fascinated with the weird and strange stories of the Land of Lincoln. The state has quite a reputation as a hotspot for weird
- [Winterskin Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/winterskin-movie-review/) - Does a movie centered on an old woman and a wounded young man stuck in a cabin in a desolate wintry landscape sound scary? What if one were to add in the premise of skinless monsters hellbent on flaying and eating the skin of their victims? Winterskin from director Charlie Steeds certainly has a lot
- [On the Trail of Bigfoot Documentary Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/trail-bigfoot-documentary-review/) - It takes a whole team of gumshoes to find one Bigfoot. Small Town Monsters (the production team that brought you The Bray Road Beast, and my personal favorite, The Mothman of Point Pleasant) offers up a six-part investigative miniseries on the monster so monstrous he has his own monster truck. The Hulk Hogan of cryptozoology.
- [Room for Rent Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/room-rent-movie-review/) - I just finished watching another offering from our friends at Uncork’d Entertainment called, Room for Rent (2019). This gem comes to us from writer Stuart Flack and director Tommy Stovall (Hate Crime, Aaron’s Blood). The female lead, and the entire reason why I wanted to watch this film, is none other than the beloved Lin
- [Scary Stories Documentary Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/scary-stories-documentary-review/) - There is a particularly potent quote in Scary Stories, filmmaker Cody Meirick’s documentary about the work of celebrated children’s horror story author Alvin Schwartz, that resonates long after the screen goes dark. Oddly, it’s not about Schwartz but about fellow children’s literature icon R.L. Stine. In this recollection, Stine talks of meeting the world’s most
- [How Technology Influences Horror Movies](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/technology-influences-horror-movies/) - It has been over twenty years since Ringu hit our screens with a vengeance. Never before had one little girl been so utterly terrifying. The key to the movie’s success was the fact that it featured technology we find in our own homes—the simple videotape—to bring fear, death and bloody destruction. It certainly wasn’t difficult to imagine Sadako,
- [American Poltergeist: The Curse of Lilith Ratchet Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/american-poltergeist-curse-lilith-ratchet-movie-review/) - Lizzie Borden meet Lilith Ratchet. She stole your modus operandi if not your mojo. Liz preferred an axe, Lil a hatchet. But the biggest difference here is that one is a real-life original, the other a cheap imitation stuffed into a cheap film with cheap effects. Oops, I just gave away the thrust of this
- [Pet Sematary Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/pet-sematary-movie-review/) - It is truly a wonderful time to be a fan of one Stephen King. When a new novel isn’t being released, there’s a Netflix or a Hulu series premiering. King’s works have seen the silver screen treatment more regularly over the last decade or so than just about any other time in the history of
- [The Walking Dead Season 9 Final Grade](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/walking-dead-season-9-final-grade/) - AMC’s pop-cultural phenomenon and television’s first zombie opus The Walking Dead has just splattered the rotten dome of its ninth season all over our screens and I’m here to help you clean up the mess. After beginning the series red hot and stringing together five consecutive seasons that ranged from good to great, the
- [Blood Bound Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/blood-bound-movie-review/) - I just watched, then re-watched Blood Bound (2019) -- a film that comes to us from writer/director Richard LeMay, Bloodline Productions, and Garden House Entertainment. It’s about a troubled teen girl who’s chosen by a coven of witches to take part in a ritual that happens every 25 years in order to maintain their immortality.
- [Blue My Mind Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/blue-my-mind-movie-review/) - Teenage alienation is terrifying and trying to fit in often carries more risks than rewards. So it is for Mia, just 15 and on the verge of menstruation but whose angst is fueled primarily by a new school and a new social setting. In the Swiss film ​Blue My Mind​, she’s upset with her father
- [The 6th Friend Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/6th-friend-movie-review/) - Hey guys! It’s been a good while since I’ve written a review for you to either applaud or give a hearty eyeroll and/or a middle finger to. It feels good to be back! Anyway, the film that I’m getting ready to tell you about is The 6th Friend (2016), written by Jamie Bernadette and directed
- [Fury from The Tomb: The Institute of Singular Antiquities Book I Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/institute-singular-antiquities-fury-tomb-book-review/) - It’s true that I am mainly a doctor of medicine (or so it’s been claimed) and I’ve mostly been confined to the laboratory. Yet I’ve always had an interest in archaeology. Digging up stiffs of ancient ages has always had its fascination for me, which explains my love of mummies and archaic curses. In recent
- [Fighting the Sky Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/fighting-sky-movie-review/) - “Keep watching the skies!” That was the warning issued at the end of the original Thing from Another World, one of the more notable films that ushered in the age of alien invaders. Over 60 years later, the invaders are still coming in films both bombastic (Independence Day) and thought-provoking (the more recent Arrival). Budget
- [Watch the Trailer for Norwegian Nazi Ghost Story THE HOUSE Coming March 5](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/watch-trailer-norwegian-nazi-ghost-story-house-coming-march-5/) - Leave it to the reliably boundary-smashing folks at Artsploitation Films to release a serious, terrifying Nazi ghost movie by way of Norway. Director Reinert Kiil—who also helmed one of our favorite holiday horror flicks of recent years—made The House a few years ago and early next month Artsploitation Films will be the first to unleash
- [The Harrowing Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/harrowing-movie-review/) - In The Harrowing, director Jon Keeyes delivers a protracted opening that begins as intriguing cop drama and ends as cannibalistic camp.

It’s most certainly light on plot and it panders with the lowest-hanging fruit that it can, but it’s also great fun, and it’s the true, direct descendent of the movies that we loved as kids.

To the ancient Hebrews, Ha-Satan (“the Accuser”) was less his own being and more a contrarian part of God’s nature. In Job, God is essentially arguing with Himself, which makes an already richly fucked-up story

In fact, filmmaker Matt Stuertz wears so many hats he gives Dr. Seuss’ Bartholomew Cubbins a run for his money. But we’re here to talk about RWD, not children’s literature. And Matt, save for co-star/co-writer Adam Hartley, is a virtual one-man show in

I am the type of Aliens fan that owned the series on VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray. I am the type of fan who bought the Loot Crate 30th Anniversary Box, and was a bit disappointed none of the contents had

- [Don’t You Recognise Me? Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/dont-recognise-me-movie-review/) - On the surface Don’t You Recognise Me? looks like just another entry in the horror subgenre known as Torture Porn. And while there’s blood and brutality in abundance, director Jason Figgis puts a different spin on things by offering more of a mixed-results psycho drama where the torturer suffers more than his victims.

Hell Town
- [Feed the Devil Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/feed-devil-movie-review/) - You draw three conclusions while watching Feed the Devil, directed and co-written by Max Perrier: Jared Cohn, the male lead (would-be marijuana magnate Marcus), is nearly invulnerable. He’s pierced by traps, bones, knives; clubbed over the head; spits up blood for the last third of the movie; and yet keeps on keeping on. Strange. The

Trailer leaks, Comic Cons, digital publishing and, frankly, competition simply weren't issues for FANGO upon its debut. The magazine that

- [Observance Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/observance-movie-review/) - It’s hard not to compare surveillance films to 1974’s The Conversation. Coppola’s thriller wrote the book on cinematic paranoia, and the only thing that’s come close to besting it is the German film The Lives of Others. Observance isn’t in the same league as those two films, but it’s one of the better “Somebody is

Researchers found the Titanic wreck at the bottom of the Atlantic. Peter Sutcliffe, also known as the

Readers of this website are likely to find themselves on Team Titillate, and that’s a good thing. Ginny (Lynn Lowry) is a former pinup model
- [The Lurking Fear Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/lurking-fear-movie-review/) - Apart from a couple names, the title, and an association with the paranormal, The Lurking Fear is a 1994 film that shares little with the H.P. Lovecraft story from whence came its title. This tale of a ghoul-assailed town from director C. Courtney Joyner and finally released on Blu-ray by Full Moon Features is a

Their creations defined the era. Giant sharks, Imperial Walkers, American werewolves, iconic

Director Harrison Smith, president of Recall Studios, has been hard at work creating a film that should blow quite a few minds within the horror community. Heck, it may even open a few eyes outside
- [Winners Tape All: The Henderson Brothers Story Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/winners-tape-all-henderson-brothers-story-movie-review/) - I should probably be recused from this review. By all accounts, I’m prejudiced. Currently, as I write this, there’s a 3X5 West Virginia flag hanging over my bed. Next to my computer is Lon Savage’s Thunder in the Mountains, which is a history of West Virginia’s mine wars, specifically 1921’s Battle of Blair Mountain. Yesterday,

As with that crime, two well-to-do students commit a murder for nothing more than the thrill of

He draws and paints pictures of creepy, crazy, crusty, and cool pop-culture. From Garbage Pail Kids and Star Wars to Sir Christopher Lee and Vincent Price, Brower’s work runs the gamut of the fantastic and the frightening. Hot off his recent Rondo

Wallace is the mother of a generation of film fanatics, starring in E.T., Critters, and Cujo. As Karen White in The Howling, she instantly became my favorite horror leading
- [Girl in Woods Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/girl-in-woods-movie-review/) - One topic I enjoy covering in my own work is sanity versus insanity. The question of whether any of us are truly sane is one that never fails to keep me searching for the right answer. While we may never really know (nor will there ever really be a 'right' answer, in my opinion), it’s

The movie’s stuck in my head ever since, and not just because it was the first screener I had the pleasure of reviewing for Ravenous Monster. It was a meaty, thoughtful film, full of ideas and philosophy, and I’ve kept an

Heard of him, yes. Read him, no. And that’s still the case, save for the introduction to Dead Letters, a short-story anthology Williams conceived and edited. In it, he

Whatever Hollywood’s ethos is, Artsploitation’s is the antithesis of it. We’ve covered several of their releases here and win, lose, or draw, the one thing Ravenous Monster can assure you is that these movies are dangerous. They’re risky.
- [The Horde Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/horde-movie-review/) - Welcome to Tropeland. The Horde hits them all. Directed by Jared Cohn and written and starring Paul Logan, The Horde is discount bin bloodletting, with a slapdash of direct-to-video stupidity.

In director Osgood Perkins’s The Black Coat’s Daughter (previously entitled February) this hell is so close to being literal that blasphemous flames singe the screen. However, if you’re expecting The Black Coat’s Daughter to be all gallivanting creatures of the night in kitsch makeup, you’d be
- [Alienated Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/alienated-movie-review/) - Alien abductions are almost always unpleasant experiences—take it from me. They are scary, fleeting, fragmented episodes that come back in waves of terrifying recollection. Thus, they are a great topic for any horror movie dealing with extraterrestrial life. Brian Ackley's Alienated is a film about ominous UFO sightings and a crumbling relationship. The probing question

- [Bunny the Killer Thing Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/bunny-killer-thing-movie-review/) - Finland is a magical, mystical country. It snows all the time, metal is always on the radio, and eleven months out of the year you can catch Santa Claus relaxing at his home in Rovaniemi. Finland is also sex-obsessed, pussy-obsessed, and dick-obsessed. Finland is the kind of place where redneck mad scientists engineer walking fuck

They’re calling it the “interactive drama adventure game” – a mouthful that generally refers to a story-based game whose mechanics revolve around making plot-changing decisions. If you remember my review of TellTale’s The Walking Dead, it was one of these.
- [Blood Rush Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/blood-rush-movie-review/) - Ahhhh, we love us some Michael Madsen. Is there anything scarier, more shocking, frigidly colder in cinematic history than Reservoir Dog’s Vic Vega, aka Mr. Blonde, mutilating a cop while singing/dancing along to “Stuck in the Middle with You”?

Blood, guts, vomit, and other secretions—these were the trademarks of the dirty, little theatre in the Pigalle section of Paris. From 1897 until 1962, Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol ran millions of plays, most of which were one-act productions that emphasized cruelty. Although performances of Shakespeare’s Titus

It’s our Pulitzer. Our Oscars. So it goes without saying that we at Ravenous Monster are proud to be among the strong list
- [Deadly Famous Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/deadly-famous-movie-review/) - Early success in Hollywood, whether for child actors or one-hit wonders, leads more often to ostracism than Oscars. Take the case of Alan Miller. Here’s a self-professed Shakespearian actor whose career has been stuck in reverse for 20 years. Is he waiting tables? No, he’s simply growing more bitter with every passing day, even as
- [OMG… We’re in a Horror Movie!!! Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/omg-were-in-a-horror-movie-review/) - We’re all familiar with horror movie clichés. Let’s face it, fright films may be the most parodied of all genres. The Wayans brothers and their affiliates turned the Scream franchise into comedy gold with their Scary Movie collection. Cabin in the Woods ranks as both parody and classic. Slither is sensationally funny and cynical. And
- [The Angel of Highgate Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/angel-highgate-book-review/) - One would be hard pressed to find a name more English than Vaughn Entwistle. I’ve certainly never heard anything that oozes tea and crumpets quite like it. On top of it all, Mr. Entwistle is the author of an oh-so English novel—The Angel of Highgate. Set in the autumn of 1859, The Angel of Highgate
- [The Lurking Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/the-lurking-movie-review/) - Director Rob Michels’ The Lurking is the latest bit of underground ichor from the Wisconsin-based production company Screaming Like Banshees. This outfit has bestowed consumers of crazy, confrontational, micro-budgeted movies with a sick cinematic smorgasbord over the past couple years (see their contributions to 2014’s deranged Wisconsin-lensed anthology Hole in the Wall). And while The

So begins Kim Newman's The Secrets of Drearcliff Grange School. As a title, it's a mouthful. As a novel, it's a marvel. Newman, the British author who is
- [Children of the Night Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/children-of-the-night-movie-review/) - A lot of this film looks and feels like something Guillermo Del Toro would have made some twenty years ago. There's an ambitious vision behind the camera with Children of the Night and while it doesn't always translate into an excellent film, there's enough to like about this project to recommend a viewing. Journalist Alicia

The quality of these verbal frights varies from excellent to something more hideous than the monsters described

- [The Laughing Mask Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/laughing-mask-movie-review/) - I’m at a loss for words. There are only so many synonyms for “bad.” The Laughing Mask, directed by Michael Aguiar and a cast that should seek refuge in the witness protection program, is such a mess of a movie that it hardly qualifies as cinematic. It’s so disjointed and disastrous as to be, uh,
- [The Last House Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/the-last-house-movie-review/) - Horror is full of final houses. Just this year alone, The Last House and The Last House on Cemetery Lane were released. Of course, the greatest domestic dwelling is Wes Craven’s The Last House on the Left. All other last houses pale in comparison. Such is the case with Sean Cain’s The Last House. Despite

The stretch of winter darkness from Black Friday to Boxing Day is an unrelenting slog, waist-deep in schmaltz and as warm and tender as day-old vomit. If I’ve heard one slow, sappy version of “Jingle Bell Rock,” I’ve heard them all. “Up on

Season 6 begins with our heroes still
- [The Lazarus Gate Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/lazarus-gate-book-review/) - Rather like zombies and superheroes, steampunk is starting to crumble beneath the weight of its popularity. An endless avalanche of “hop aboard the bandwagon” creators has diluted its freshness. Many books set in the Victorian era feature stock characters like the usual “Polly Parasol” type, a proper Englishwoman who enjoys tea after kicking the ass
- [Taghairm Game Review and Interview with Creator Chandler Groover](https://ravenousmonster.com/games-toys/taghairm-game-review-interview-chandler-groover/) - I will never forget my first Takashi Miike film. It was Ichi The Killer, and I was young – 17 or 18, tops. I watched it with my brother, with whom I share many tastes and who introduced me to many wonderful and terrible things. I remember watching the movie, transfixed, horrified, sickened and teetering
- [The Horror Network Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/horror-network-movie-review/) - Considering The Horror Network Vol. 1 has been floating in the ether – if not in theaters – for a year or two, we’re a little late to the party with this review.

What dribbles out is some slushy mess called Windsor Drive.

Stine spooked children across the globe with sixty-two books. Not only were the stories deliciously devious, but the book cover art provided by Tim Jacobus was equally unnerving and the titles were just – mwwwauh!—perfecto. 350 million copies later and Goosebumps

Recently, though, the
- [Backwater Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/backwater-movie-review/) - Movies with a camping motif usually end up in one of two, well, camps -- comedy or horror. With Backwater, director Christopher Schrack intends the latter but unintentionally earns a few head-scratching chuckles. There’s the unexplained Australian accent of Cass (Liana Werner-Gray), the shattered rear window that’s mistakenly called a windshield, and the l-o-n-g pauses
- [Chairshots to the Pumpkinhead: Halloween Havoc Part 2](https://ravenousmonster.com/music-events/chairshots-pumpkinhead-halloween-havoc-part-2/) - During the last installment of “Chairshots to the Pumpkinhead,” we looked at the highest highs of WCW’s Halloween Havoc. From grueling and intense matches to gimmicks that worked, these Halloween Havoc highs made the product worth viewing. But, just as every piece of Halloween candy turns into righteous mud in the stomach, Halloween Havoc had

Fighting words, when a good 95% of you are excitedly reposting the new Star Wars trailer, but I

- [A Plague So Pleasant Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/plague-so-pleasant-movie-review/) - I have a confession to make. When A Plague So Pleasant crossed my desk as a potential review item, I chose it for entirely selfish reasons. You see, I am teetering on that uneasy precipice between “completely tired of zombies” and “aching to see something new done with them.” The idea of zombies as a

That’s how I feel about American Horror Story. Both represent the same sort of disdain for the source material, but whereas Jar Jar just shat on one franchise, American Horror Story has, for four seasons straight, soiled an entire genre. Created by Ryan Murphy and

- [So Nude, So Dead Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/so-nude-so-dead-book-review/) - Ed McBain, real name Salvatore Lombino, burst onto the crime fiction scene in 1956 with Cop Hater, not only one of the best titled books in history, but also one of the most unique. Rather than one detective, McBain gave his crime novels a whole precinct—the 87th Precinct, to be exact. As the prince of

From Vagrants to The Devil’s Woods, I have yet to be let down by his stories. Mooreland’s smooth prose draws you in yet it never feels like he is writing down to his audience. The best way to describe Brian Mooreland’s latest novella Darkness

- [Cub Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/cub-movie-review/) - Widely considered the first true horror film from Belgium, director Jonas Govaerts brings us a solid directorial debut that asks the question, “What’s wrong with Sam?” As if the woods weren’t creepy enough, Cub (Artsploitation Films) drapes audiences in a skin-crawling paranoia that someone is always watching us. CUB tells the tale of Sam (Maurice

In this case, it’s always THE QUESTION: does art imitate life, or does life imitate art? It’s rhetorical, of course. The relationship between art and life is akin to the bond
- [All American Bully Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/all-american-bully-movie-review/) - Bullying has been an American horror tale since the day the pilgrims came over and forced their way onto land that wasn’t theirs to take. Over the last two decades, high school bullying and domestic terrorism in schools has been a focal point of national media coverage on a weekly basis, it seems. Senseless violence

A set of four DVDs came in the mail without much in the way of markings. Just silver discs with titles on them. The studio, Sector 5, could’ve been real or fake. I had never heard of them, that’s for sure. Anyway, this was my assignment: pick them
- [Revolutionary Stop-Motion Monster Movie STEEL CUT OATS Launches on Kickstarter](https://ravenousmonster.com/news/revolutionary-stop-motion-monster-movie-steel-cut-oats-launches-kickstarter/) - After we lost Ray Harryhausen two years ago, a lot of people in the genre community saw it as not only the death of a monumental man and artist, but also the death of an era of cinema and with it an entire storied technique and aesthetic. While that is certainly arguable, let’s not memorialize
- [Redwood Massacre Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/redwood-massacre-movie-review/) - Summer is a great time for camping. It’s also a great time to check out new films.

- [We Are Still Here Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/we-are-still-here-movie-review/) - It’s billed as an homage to Lucio Fulci, and at times, it feels superior. We Are Still Here, which is Ted Geoghegan’s debut full-length film as a director, touches the Fulci basics: it’s got gore, an isolated house in New England, a troubled family dealing with grief, a clairvoyant, a vaguely Lovecraftian plot, and a
- [Star Leaf Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/star-leaf-movie-review/) - Richard Cranor's Star Leaf is a film about many things, including aliens, personal demons, rules, deceit, horror, and lastly—surprisingly—marijuana. For a film that is about three friends trekking through the thick wilderness of the Pacific Northwest to find and toke up on an extraterrestrial strain of weed, though, there is surprisingly little of the tropes
- [Goblin Rebirth Album Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/music-events/goblin-rebirth-album-review/) - It’s pretty much impossible to imagine Italian horror cinema without also thinking of Goblin. Their eerie cinematic soundscapes provided the soundtrack to sudden bloody death and the arrival of demonic evil. I would argue that their soundtrack to Suspiria is not only the best modern horror score but also the LOUDEST. If you remove the

Thankfully, there are authors like Tim Lebbon who can still manage to take an overused theme and breathe fresh air into stale lungs. Lebbon’s novel The Silence

- [It Follows Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/it-follows-movie-review/) - David Robert Mitchell, the Michigander writer-director responsible for It Follows, clearly has a “thing” for the coming-of-age tale. Before writing and directing It Follows, Mitchell did the same honors for his first full-length -- 2010’s The Myth of the American Sleepover. Now, while The Myth of the American Sleepover is the type of angst-ridden, yet

These past eight episodes

- [Justifying the Stupid: My Weird Feelings for Howling II](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/howling-ii-retrospective/) - Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf. Or if you prefer, Howling II: Stirba - Werewolf Bitch. Either way you’re getting a sequel with a declarative sentence. The first is accurate. Ben White’s sister is a werewolf in Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf, and in fact they’re plenty of other werewolves and many
- [All Saints Eve Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/all-saints-eve-movie-review/) - With spring approaching and a few completed projects under my belt, I had a plan to start reviewing books, music, and films again (at least a couple reviews each month). So when Bruce Koehler contacted me with information about the newest effort recently put out by North Shore Pictures in association with Wild Eye Releasing,

- [Interview with Artist Angel Onofre](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/artist-angel-onofre-interview/) - Back in November, as I was strolling down the corridors of Days of the Dead: Chicago, a very new take on some very classic horror villains caught my eye. Think Tex Avery on acid. Imagine Jack Torrance falling into a vat of comic book ink. This was Angel Onofre’s artwork and it was awesome. I
- [Sick: Survive the Night Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/sick-survive-night-movie-review/) - Sick: Survive the Night is a zombie survival film from Canadian writer/director Ryan M. Andrews. The story takes place in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of a world that has been ravaged by zombies. Governments have fallen, society has crumbled, and the survivors are broken out into disparate camps of survivalists and "vultures," opportunists who will murder
- [Book of the Dead Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/book-of-the-dead-review/) - If Book of the Dead had been written by Lovecraft, then the lead characters would’ve gone catatonic by page seventy. Instead of action, the readers would’ve been treated to introspection and digressions about how mankind was not meant to know the true contents of the cosmos. There is a reason then why Lovecraft did not
- [The Burning Dead Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/burning-dead-movie-review/) - Having made a low-budget zombie film myself a few years back, I can attest to how difficult it can be to keep a film moving along in the right direction. In The Burning Dead, director Rene Perez—an independent filmmaker with nine credits to his IMDB resume since 2010—tackles a zombie attack in a very creative

- [Interview with Artist Mary Wright](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/artist-mary-wright-interview/) - The horror genre is a big tent. It’s dark, entombed in cobwebs and inhabited by all manner of nightmarish entities, but there’s a lot of room. The people that make their bones creating works of horror—the ones who reside inside the tent—they’re an eclectic bunch. Dynamic. Still, a majority of horror creators and their fans
- [Read or Else: The Black Train by Edward Lee](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/read-or-else-black-train-edward-lee/) - You feel the dried page against your finger and hear a subtle crack as you gingerly turn it. The book’s spine is stiff and you look down, taking in the yellowed paper. In the dimly lit room you smile coyly to yourself. The book is well-worn; others have held it before you and felt the
- [Denver’s 13th Floor Valentine X Haunted Attraction Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/music-events/denvers-13th-floor-valentine-x-haunted-attraction-review/) - A professor the Editor-In-Chief and I recall fondly from our schoolboy days once said that, “carnivals and haunted houses are our culture’s last bastion of legalized fear.” It was in a screenwriting course, and those of us interested in fear wrote it down with the enthusiasm Plato probably had for Socrates’s really good lines. Our
- [Chinese Ghost Stories: The Lasting Influence of Pu Songling’s Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/chinese-ghost-stories-lasting-influence-pu-songling-strange-stories-chinese-studio/) - Hong Kong cinema tends to be a grab-bag. A “grab-all” might be a more appropriate phrase, actually. I’ve never seen a Hong Kong film that wasn’t happy to simultaneously tickle and revolt, to play the low road with blush-worthy sex jokes, all the while quoting Confucius. And of course one cannot forget about the fight
- [Gorgon Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/gorgon-book-review/) - Greig Beck dedicates Gorgon to the men and women of the Australia & New Zealand Armed Forces—doubtless an innocent gesture from an ANZAC-loving Aussie, but one that left this American reader a bit leery. Ever since September 11th, the United States has lost anything like a balanced perspective on the military. “Support the troops” is

- [Gates of Hell Part III: Fulci’s The House by the Cemetery](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/gates-hell-part-iii-fulci-house-cemetery/) - By this point, I hope you know the deal. 1981’s The House By the Cemetery (Quella villa accanto al cimitero), which features in the opening of the video for the band Entombed’s “Left Hand Path,” is, to quote a Time Out magazine review, “cut-price spaghetti gore cooked up from the not exactly brand-new narrative premise
- [American Horror Story: Freak Show Season Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/american-horror-story-freak-show-season-review/) - This being the fourth season of the American Horror Story vehicle, I was really looking forward to the show taking on one of the most intriguing and taboo topics in the world of horror—the freak show. Like most, I was overjoyed the read that the usual suspects from the first three seasons were returning. Like
- [Treehouse Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/treehouse-movie-review/) - It’s the quintessential American story. Two boys set out to have some fun and fireworks in the woods. Who knows? They might get lucky. At least one of them is banking on it (he’s bringing along condoms and candles, for Peter’s sake), while the other one doesn’t need to bank because he’s pure money. Unfortunately,
- [Ninjas vs. Monsters Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/ninjas-vs-monsters-movie-review/) - Justin Timpane's Ninjas vs. Monsters is the third installment in a series built upon the premise of ninjas fighting sundry supernatural malefactors. It really isn't a very difficult concept to grasp, honestly. The films are famous chiefly for their low budget and presumably humorous approach, as well as the having Blair Witch Project's Eduardo Sanchez
- [The Only Thing We Can Do About Lovecraft, Racism, and the World Fantasy Award Statue](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/lovecraft-racism-world-fantasy-award-statue/) - That David Duke-worthy ass-canker was written by my favorite author, the same man who revealed to me the mysteries of dreaming Cthulhu, the machinations of the Fungi from Yuggoth, the unholy prophecies of the Necronomicon, the ravenous and unidentifiable “colour” out of space. He changed my world irrevocably.
- [Spending the Night with Five Nights at Freddy’s](https://ravenousmonster.com/games-toys/spending-night-with-five-nights-at-freddys/) - The more I play these indie horror titles, the more I start to feel that video games are the perfect vehicle for modern horror stories. Books and movies can be great, but they lack any sense of agency – you’re a passive observer, and you know that no matter what you do, the things you’re
- [THE DEVIL COMMANDS...and Karloff Obeys!](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/devil-commands-karloff-retrospective/) - The fraternity of mad scientists is a tight-knit one. I ought to know, I've been a part of it for a while now. Admittedly, I might not be the highest ranking member, but I know a thing or two about my profession. There are certain great names from the past that I draw a lot
- [Gates of Hell Part II: Fulci’s The Beyond](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/gates-of-hell-part-ii-fulci-the-beyond/) - Lucio Fulci has never hidden his admiration for Antonin Artaud, the French Surrealist who first articulated the idea of the “Theatre of Cruelty.” According to his 1938 book The Theatre and Its Double, Artaud envisioned the Theatre of Cruelty as a decidedly nonlinear form of performance art that eschewed such typically Western niceties as a

A handful of our contributors offered up their favorite bits of horror media from the past year. Check it out, Horror Fans….

- [EpixHD Streaming Service: A Horror Movie Treasure Trove](https://ravenousmonster.com/news/epixhd-streaming-service-horror-movie-treasure-trove/) - We at Ravenous Monster are about to let you in on a secret too good not to share. There exists a bounty of horror movies that reaches epic, or more accurately, Epix proportions, that many of you have access to at a minimal cost, but about which few of you are aware. Cryptic enough for
- [The Ecstasy of Isabel Mann Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/ecstasy-isabel-mann-movie-review/) - A while back, I had the opportunity to watch a creepy post-apocalyptic film called The Railway Children (now released by the name Children of a Darker Dawn) and interview the writer/director, Jason Figgis. The film’s stuck with me since then thanks in large part to the amount of heart in the script – the image
- [Coyote Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/coyote-movie-review/) - Trevor Juenger’s Coyote is as beautiful as it is grotesque. What masquerades as a film about an insomniac slowly losing his mind is, in essence, the visual poetry of trauma and insanity. It is a William S Burroughs nightmare fueled by a Cormac McCarthy fever dream. The score, by Michel Schiralli, is complicated and difficult.
- [Gates of Hell Part I: Fulci's City of the Living Dead](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/gates-of-hell-part-i-fulci-city-of-the-living-dead/) - There’s a reason why the so-called Gates of Hell trilogy is unofficial. By remaining provisional, the three films made by Italian film director Lucio Fulci between 1980 and 1981 bypass the thorny issues of cohesiveness and a logical, overarching narrative. Although, they’re all vaguely Lovecraftian in some way, the Gates of Hell films are all
- [Plague World: An Ashley Parker Novel Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/plague-world-an-ashley-parker-novel-book-review/) - Trilogies are supposed to end on an up-note, right? Like, with a musical feast and dancing Ewoks and happy ghost-friends and family. I mean, the middle chapters are the ones where things happen like Luke getting his hand light-sabered off and finding out that the bad guy in black is actually called “Dad.” You know,
- [The Device Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/the-device-movie-review/) - Jeremy Berg's alien thriller The Device is a visually striking film about what happens when we fail to consider the danger of playing with the toys of strangers. In this case, the strangers are extraterrestrial beings bent on retaking something they consider theirs. The stakes are higher than just a simple enterovirus or Cold when
- [Days of the Dead Chicago 2014: I Survived!](https://ravenousmonster.com/music-events/days-of-the-dead-chicago-2014/) - I was finally going to a horror convention. After years of saying I would attend a show, finally, I decided to put some extra funds to good use and spend a weekend with my beastly brethren at the Days of the Dead horror convention Nov, 21-23, 2014 in Schaumburg, Illinois. I had heard nothing but
- [The Walking Dead Season 5 Midterm Report Card](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/walking-dead-season-5-midterm-report-card/) - As autumn gives way to the bleak doldrums of winter, so too does the fifth season of The Walking Dead, now lying dormant through the cold season until it reanimates come mid-February, 2015. As these past eight episodes have made clear, the success of the series hasn’t been an aberration as it’s continued to obliterate
- [Phobia Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/phobia-movie-review/) - In case you haven’t figured it out by now, psychological horror is kind of my “thing.” I’ll watch anything, but nothing gets under my skin in just the right way quite like a good, meaty mind-fuck movie that raises some serious questions about the nature of reality. So knowing that, it’s probably not a surprise
- [The Robert Englund V.I.P. Experience: Wizard World Ohio](https://ravenousmonster.com/music-events/robert-englund-vip-experience-wizard-world-ohio/) - This past Halloween, in lieu of tormenting the kids who were trick-or-treating in my neighborhood, I decided to take a three to four-hour road trip to Columbus, OH. Why would I forgo the opportunity to pass out candy dressed up as an axe murderer, you ask? One name: Robert Englund. When I found out that

In that time Bloch continued to write for himself and for television, while Amicus kept trying to outdo and outsell Hammer. During the sixties, Amicus was on the losing

- [No Laughing Aloud: An Interview with Butterfly Skin Author Sergey Kuznetsov](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/butterfly-skin-author-sergey-kuznetsov-interview/) - Sergey Kuznetsov is a serious man. A seriously talented man, yes, but serious nonetheless. Butterfly Skin, Kuznetsov’s most recent novel, is a serial killer tale set in modern-day Moscow. Although at times graphically violent and even more graphically sexual, Kuznetsov wants to assure his readers that Butterfly Skin is about love. Well, love and violence,
- [The Butchers Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/the-butchers-movie-review/) - Director Steven Paul Judd's The Butchers has a familiar premise: Strangers on a journey become mired in a strange situation. It's a tale as old as the Canterbury Tales of Chaucer in the fourteenth century. However, instead of a storm and an inn, this tale involves a bus on its way to the Grand Canyon
- [Horns: Book vs. Movie](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/horns-book-vs-movie/) - As a very big fan of Joe Hill’s sophomore novel Horns, I was awaiting Alexandre Aja’s film adaptation with much anticipation. Piranha and Haute Tension are great movies, showing a diversity of ability. Even his weaker efforts such as Mirrors and The Hills Have Eyes remake are never dull, and his direction is always exciting
- [Ghoulies & Ghosties & Long-Leggedy Beasties X: Halloween 2014 Edition](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/ghoulies-ghosties-long-leggedy-beasties-x-halloween-2014-edition/) - Shit. I haven’t written a Ghoulies & Ghosties & Long-Leggedy Beasties column since June, which means that I owe you, Savage Readers. In fact, by my calculations, I owe you a good six GGLLB installments to make up for it. And I’m a horror fan of the old tradition, which means I live by a
- [Mutantis Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/mutantis-movie-review/) - Radioactive waste, monsters, busty babes who are trying to prove that they’re “groovy,” hillbillies, and a far-out scientist dude who wants to capture Bigfoot in the flesh. Cue Keith Morris singing “Parade of the Horribles.” Better yet, put on Municipal Waste ripping through “Wolves of Chernobyl.” To call Mutantis a tongue-in-cheek parody would be an
- [Horns Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/horns-movie-review/) - I fully expected there to be a film adaptation of Joe Hill’s sophomore novel— a book I absolutely loved, from start to finish (do yourself a favor and immediately pick up a copy). I was just a tad nervous when I read the news that horror-genre staple Alenandre Aja would be directing it. Not because
- [The Savage Amicus: Robert Bloch in the Movies Part Two](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/savage-amicus-robert-bloch-movies-part-two/) - More than anything else, Robert Bloch’s career is a testament to perseverance. His autobiography, along with the numerous mini-bios and write-ups about him that populate the internet, are testaments to the fact that writers are workers, no exception. And a lesser worker than Bloch would’ve been put off from the film industry long before Great
- [Game Camera Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/game-camera-movie-review/) - Ron Ford is a talented director and writer with credits like The Crawling Brain, Hollywood Mortuary, The Fear, and many, many more. He’s an accomplished actor having both stage and screen experience. His most recent feature, Game Camera, is currently making the rounds at festivals and will hopefully be available to the public soon. Game
- [Interview with STEVE: DEATH COLLECTOR’s Eamon Hardiman](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/steve-death-collector-eamon-hardiman-interview/) - Director Eamon Hardiman has never killed anyone in real life (as far as we know), but Eamon and his team at Razor Sharp Studios, based in West Virginia, have produced some killer indie movies (see what I did there?), and their latest project Steve: Death Collector is revitalizing ‘80s slasher flicks and revolutionizing ‘80s slasher
- [Motivational Growth Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/motivational-growth-movie-review/) - Motivational Growth tells the story of Ian Foliver, a completely broken and reclusive schmuck who lives in an apartment that would make even the filthiest couch potato break out in hives. While going through his “recognition of self-worthlessness process,” Ian decides it’s time to end it all. While concocting a life-ending potion in the bathtub,
- [Discovering P.T. and an Early Glimpse at Silent Hills](https://ravenousmonster.com/games-toys/discovering-p-t-early-glimpse-silent-hills/) - I recently found myself the owner of a PS4 – a joyous occasion in that it replaced my dead Xbox 360 for the purposes of streaming movies, but a bit disappointing as the PS4 game selection is currently rather bare. So imagine my delight when, roaming through the downloads and demos, I found what appeared
- [Butterfly Skin Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/butterfly-skin-book-review/) - Russian literature, or at least the type you might read in college, is known for its intensity and mountains of cerebral ramblings on all things unanswerable. From Dostoevsky to Bulgakov, the best Russian writers don’t deal with miniatures or micro narratives. The Brothers Karamazov somehow manages to tackle both familial relations and the heart of
- [Interview with SLEDGE Co-Director/Star Kristian Hanson](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/sledge-co-director-star-kristian-hanson-interview/) - I recently had the opportunity watch a fun, quirky film – Sledge, a horror comedy that takes the age-old “campers are targeted by a sociopath” trope and wrings out every bit of delicious, gory cheesiness it can. I talked all about it in my review, which you should look at if you haven’t already, but
- [TV Horror at its Best: Are You Ready for Boris Karloff's THRILLER?](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/best-tv-horror-boris-karloffs-thriller/) - They sure don’t make ‘em like they used to! That’s usually the battle cry of every crusty old crab such as myself when it comes to popular entertainment, resulting in a flurry of rolling eyes and groans from kids of the digital generation. Well, keep groaning, kiddies, because yes, horror and suspense today is inferior
- [Straightjackets and Sleepwalkers: Robert Bloch in the Movies Part One](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/straightjackets-sleepwalkers-robert-bloch-movies-part-one/) - When Robert Bloch came to Hollywood in the early 1960s, he did so as an already accomplished and acclaimed author. In this regard, Bloch was nothing new. Plenty of writers, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner, had chosen a similar career path. But unlike Fitzgerald, who washed out in Hollywood as an alcoholic
- [Sledge Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/sledge-movie-review/) - The horror comedy is a venerable genre in its own right. For as long as there have been horror films, there have been movies spoofing them – from Abbott and Costello facing the black-and-white movie monsters to Cabin in the Woods and Knights of Badassdom toying with our expectations of the genre, these movies are
- [Interview with Ditch Day Massacre stars Bill Oberst Jr., Katy Foley and Zach Silverman](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/interview-ditch-day-massacre-stars-bill-oberst-jr-katy-foley-zach-silverman/) - I recently had the opportunity to sit down with not one, but three awesome people involved in the film Ditch Day Massacre, an homage to ‘80s-era slasher films produced by Water Tree Media. Ditch Day Massacre is a simple tale of revenge pitted against some clueless teenagers…or is it? I can’t say much more without
- [As Above So Below Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/as-above-so-below-movie-review/) - As Above, So Below got 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is at once accurate and grossly unfair. As Above. . . combines, rather ingeniously, an Indiana Jones-like archaeological adventure with found-footage horror. It will not answer all your questions, and there’s no punchline or twist. It’s weird from its brilliant beginning in Iran through its
- [Witch Island Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/witch-island-book-review/) - Before zombies, vampires, and werewolves, there were witches. There are many parts of the world where one can still be unceremoniously murdered over simply an accusation of witchcraft. Sure, it's been a while since they were in vogue: Willow from BUFFY, The Craft, Sabrina, CHARMED. The nineties were a time to wear your pointy black

The Great Lakes state located in the Unites States’ Midwest region is composed of green rolling hills, farms, and forests. It boasts the world’s most primo cheeses, an absurd number of beers (and beer-drinkers), and of course the Green Bay

Usually, whenever something is called the “first,” then a million outraged voices come from the woodwork in order to point out that, in actuality, there was something before the “first.” Therefore, when I call Thirteen Women “the first slasher film,”

Fredsti’s Ashley Parker novels are endearing, addictive yarns depicting the zombie apocalypse with biting humor (yeah, yeah…that was a pun!), exhilarating action, heady drama, and gory terror to spare! To mark this occasion, Ravenous Monster has

- [Devil’s Mile Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/devils-mile-movie-review/) - Horror, like a lot of pop culture, comes in waves with different splashes. First there were the German silent films that promoted an Expressionist chiaroscuro of dread, then came the Universal monster films of the 1930s, which combined German-style cinematography with American-born notions of perversity and evil. Of course there were other styles and influences
- [Sherlock Holmes: Gods of War Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/sherlock-holmes-gods-of-war-book-review/) - There are many Sherlockians out there right now. Frankly, it’s a Sherlockian world, and the tremendously popular BBC series isn’t showing any signs of letting up. I remember once speaking to an English professor that I respected about how certain writers come in and out of fashion. My case in point at the time was

Although I have not had the opportunity to see and, therefore, hold no opinion on the latter, I certainly feel like I've had enough of this series with the former. Ye Gods, enough,

Greetings, fear freaks! Today we take a strange detour through the decade of the 50's, the years when the shadow of the mushroom cloud loomed over horror like...well, like a mushroom cloud! This was the age of the atom, when radioactive
- [The Scream Series: Rules, Ruse, and Retrospective](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/scream-retrospective/) - Following his review of Scream 4, writer Justin Hamelin takes a look back at the original trilogy.... Randy Meeks said it best. “Simplicity! If it gets too complicated, you lose your target audience!” Writer Kevin Williamson had a recipe for a blockbuster juggernaut. Horror legend Wes Craven was fresh off of resuscitating his own gory
- [Rosemary's Baby Retrospective](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/rosemarys-baby-retrospective/) - The enviably towering apartments and fierce Vidal Sassoon stylings aside, it is quite harsh and sad to realize that throughout half of Roman Polanski’s 1968 horror and suspense classic, Rosemary’s Baby, we are watching a lonely Midwesterner gestate and produce the inhuman spawn of the Devil Himself. Based on Ira Levin’s 1967 shocking, best-selling novel

- [Hobo with a Shotgun Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/hobo-with-a-shotgun-movie-review/) - Hobo with a Shotgun, directed by Jason Eisener and starring Rutger Hauer in the titular role, looks, sounds, and plays exactly like what it’s emulating – an exploitation extravaganza circa the early 1980’s. Having originally been made as a fake trailer for the promotion of the Quinton Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez throwback vehicle, Grindhouse (2007),
- [Allison Hewitt is Trapped Book Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/allison-hewitt-trapped-book-review/) - Madeleine Roux’s first novel, Allison Hewitt is Trapped is a zombie book with brains. Not the kind that satiate the story’s hungry horde of walking dead, but rather the kind that manifest from an author who respects the intelligence of her readers and whose writing chops are sharper than the axe wielded by the book’s
- [Interview with Actress Rosa Frausto](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/rosa-frausto-interview/) - With the glut of crappy remakes to go along with half-baked motives and embarrassingly cheesy acting that have plagued mainstream horror cinema over the last few years, I sometimes wonder what I’ll see first (if I ever witness either at all)- a Chicago Cubs world championship or another big time, Hollywood horror blockbuster to sit
- [Scream 4 Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/scream-4-movie-review/) - Whenever you hear 'Part 4' with a film, it's human nature to shudder. So I don't blame anyone for going into Scream 4 with skepticism. However, I went in with teenage exuberance – I seriously had butterflies in my stomach when the trailers ended and I heard the first sounds of a phone ringing. I
- [Interview with Writer-Director Cory Udler](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/cory-udler-interview/) - Wisconsin based filmmaker, Cory Udler marches to the beat of his own drummer. The fact that his drummer is a maniac with ball-peen hammers for sticks and a hollowed out human torso-snare is of little consequence. It just means that Cory makes weird flicks. His influences comprise the A-list of B-movies from the pinnacle of
- [Insidious Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/insidious-movie-review/) - After much anticipation, ceaselessly whetted by ads and commercials that were themselves quite insidious, I was able to watch the film Insidious on its Friday, April 1st, 2011 date of release. When I first began seeing these teasers for it a couple of weeks ago, the imagery and the concept fascinated me, albeit a bit
- [In Memoriam: Howard Phillips Lovecraft - He was Providence](https://ravenousmonster.com/books-comics/lovecraft-he-was-providence/) - [I received this writing inside of a sealed envelope smeared with what can only be described as a mix of gelatinous ichor, black tea, and delicious homemade tomatillo salsa by way of a mysterious cloaked invalid on prosthetic legs of what appeared to be silver. Along with it came a hand-scrawled scrap of paper with
- [Edgar Allan Poe: Memories of Prospero's Clock](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/edgar-allan-poe-memories/) - Even in Baltimore, as history-drenched a city as you’ll find in the United States, Edgar Allan Poe stands out as a favored son. He was by birth a Bostonian, and lived for a time in both Virginia and New York, but Baltimore has claimed him. In school, Halloween meant an inevitable reading of “The Raven”
- [The Horror Graph: Crunching Numbers and Spitting out Bone Shards](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/horror-graph/) - I know a woman who’s a paranormal romance writer. I should say right off that paranormal romance isn’t my thing at all, but we have common cause in that we’re both trying to choke some sort of life for ourselves out of the world of writing.[1] So even if her influences are more Twilight and
- [Interview with Actress Michelle Shields](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/michelle-shields-interview/) - In this day and age, sisters are doing it for themselves. No, I’m not talking about boring stuff like being the face of key government positions or playing head bread maker in the 21st century household across the globe. I’m talking about scaring the crap out of you. Long gone are the days of women
- [Werewolf Movies: A List](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/werewolf-movies-list/) - Spring is almost upon us and here at Ravenous Monster this season is a time for werewolves….and flowers, baseball and green things, but mainly just werewolves. I’ve compiled a list of five of the best werewolf movies. This list is by no means comprehensive, nor is it in any particular order. In fact, these movies
- [Face Off: Bringing Monster Making to the Masses](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/face-off-bringing-monster-making-masses/) - Face Off, the new reality series on the Syfy television network, has been a long time coming. Sometime around 1984, a couple video rental places sprung up in my hometown. My mother, always trying to keep her head above water with regard to technology, had a VCR and immediately got memberships to these video rental
- [Cannibal Holocaust: Welcome to the Jungle](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/cannibal-holocaust/) - Ravenous Monster's retrospective series of sick and twisted cinema continues.... “Cannibal Holocaust” is a grimy, twisted little classic that’s greater than the sum of its parts. These are parts that run the gamut of taste and ethical virtue, mind you. Porn stars, authentic animal butchery, real-deal Amazon tribesmen, depictions of sexual violence, cannibalism, and rape. Top
- [Black Swan Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/black-swan-movie-review/) - BLACK SWAN is director Darren Aronofsky's late contribution to the world of cinema in 2010. On the surface this film is revelatory of the excruciating world of professional ballet, replete with arduous competition, mental and physical exhaustion, betrayal, and at the same time the utmost beauty and grace of movement. But in BLACK SWAN the
- [The Rite Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/the-rite-movie-review/) - Hello everybody! I'm your teacher Billy, and this is my workshop on "How to Make Bad Horror Films”. Don't be nervous. It’s much easier than one might think. In fact, the more brittle you are, the more you're prone to making gargantuan mistakes, doubt yourself, and end up with a cliché film – all of
- [Dexter Season 5 Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/dexter-season-5-review/) - In 2006, the premium cable network Showtime introduced us to Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), the unassuming Miami Homicide forensics expert and prolific serial killer.

It dwelled upon how an unlikely combination of
- [Interview with Screenwriter Bob Heske](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/bob-heske-interview/) - The horror genre and independent filmmaking have a relationship similar to that of Ramen Noodles and dorm cooking. These two relationships exist for several reasons, one of which is the relative accessibility of the means required to achieve an end that’s entirely gratifying. In one case we achieve lunch, dinner, maybe even breakfast, and in
- [The Walking Dead and TV Horror](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/the-walking-dead-tv-review/) - The television horror genre has its arm twisted behind its back and up against the lockers by a big bully named "The Walking Dead” (TWD) on AMC. It’s a horror hit with hardcore genre fans, and also to your median human. Why? People who wouldn't normally go see a horror flick gave it a chance
- [Is It Horror?](https://ravenousmonster.com/featured-article/is-it-horror/) - The other day my lovely and extremely patient girlfriend was telling me about a soon-to-be-ex-coworker whose ambition is to be a roadie for Bon Jovi. "She's only missed six out of forty-four Bon Jovi concerts this year," said Ashley. "And she's quitting her job because they won't give her time off to go see him

- [Paranormal Activity 2 Movie Review](https://ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/paranormal-activity-2-review/) - What do movies with a relentless killing machine and an old man chasing a little boy through a tomato patch have in common? Their sequels were as good, if not better, than their predecessors. Of course I’m talking about “The Terminator” and “The Godfather”. So if you loved the first Paranormal Activity there might be
