“Uncle? I may have the blood for the job, but I sure don’t have the stomach for it.”
Story: Baron von Frankenstein has done it!He’s discovered the secret to pure destruction! Time retire, and leave everything to his klutzy human nephew Felix. But the monsters – and Frankenstein’s assistant Francesca – think they’re a better choice.
Scares: Only if you’re very young. Otherwise this is fun not frightening.

“You almost killed Kitty Meow-Meow!”
Story: Army doctors make a “Superman” serum that works great. Y’know, after the subject dies and reanimates. Prolly needs some tweaking. Meanwhile, four friends – two dude BFFs and their respective crushes – decide to try mixing soft serve with beer… But those cream-base containers have been sitting outside, soaking in the Superman gloop. (Oopsie. Guess getting trying to cover up your science goofs doesn’t work if the goop gets knocked off the truck.) Does your tummy hurt?
Scares: This one’s played for laughs. Continue reading
“Grandpa’s fallen – and he’s getting up!”
Story: in an alternate mid-20th Century, zombies are real, and the world defeated them. Hooray! Thanks to the ZomCon corporation, zombies – ones with ZomCon collars – are docile and can be used as slaves…er, servants. Just be sure to check that collar on the reg. You never know what kind of domino effect could happen. Oops.
Scares: More comedic and satirical than spooky. Continue reading
Had to share this because Wow Such Gaming does a fantastic job breaking down every last bit of this zombie apocalypse.
Sorry, but it’s the truth; if this was a thing that happened? We’d be brains on toast for the herd of sprinting zombs gunning to get us. This K-horror series is deadly and chaotic, and WSG is just being realistic. But this vid is a fantastic look at how fantastic the mythology is in this series. Just bend over and kiss it goodbye y’all. Because there’s no getting out of this one. Pleasant dreams!
“If you feel like screaming, I definitely think that you should.”
Story: Jack is an engineer by trade , an architectural hobbyist, and an extremely successful serial killer. He discusses his life, art, and “works” with new friend Verge as they take a stroll down memory lane… And even further down.
Scares: Minimal. Mostly shocking acts of violence you damn sure know are coming. so there’s more of Hitchcock’s simmering “nobody knows there’s a bomb under the table” suspense than outright terror. Continue reading
“Don’t be the Final Boy. Be the Final Man.”
Story: Hey, do you like horror? Are you drunk? Well then dig into this treasure trove of a not-quite-Grade Z (Grade Y?) film, filled with creepy, kooky tales. Wait. Did you hear that? Are we getting meta? Dammit…
Scares: More laughs than scares, but there are a few tingles of suspense.
Splat factor: YES. Continue reading

Ready to get your October on? Because I’ve got passes for the virtual premiers of Evil Eye and Nocturne, part of the #WelcomeToTheBlumhouse series coming to Amazon Prime! Winners will receive an invite to one or the other, because surprises are fun! What’s a virtual premier, you may ask? Here’s the scoop…
To promote the release of the films, the night before they are available on Prime will be VIRTUAL world premieres for each film and we have a select number of tickets for giveaways! The world premieres will have all kinds of cool elements to them. They showed us a preview of what they are planning, and it looks AWESOME. It will basically be an advance screening of the movie the “winner” can watch from their TV or laptop, and then a virtual after party via Zoom that includes live DJ performances from some big names, an opportunity for the winners to interact with cast members in a Q&A setting, and a “virtual escape room” of sorts where they can travel through the house in the photo below and solve puzzles.
Ready? Let’s go!
