Witchy Movies for Halloween
Let’s face it, Halloween is one of the biggest holidays in the US and there isn’t much we can do about it. It’s not as popular as Christmas, but it’s still big and there. So, why not have a cozy girls’ night in and enjoy a movie marathon? Have to hand out candy? Throw in some popcorn and a great movie. Have a couple of free nights and don’t want to go out? You need a movie.

Another 5 Horror Sequels We're Still Waiting to See
Ok, so over a year ago I penned an article called ‘Top Five Horror Sequels We’re Still Waiting to See.’ Number two was 28 Months Later and number one was Candyman Four. Since the article was published, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland announced that they’re moving forward with a 28 Days Threequel and Jordan Peele has started production on a ‘spiritual sequel’ to Candyman.

'Itsy Bitsy' (2019) Review
I hate movie trailers. When cut well, they can make a horribly drab dullard appear competent and atmospheric. Sometimes, they look more like the movie the filmmaker set out to make than the finished product does. That’s especially the case with Itsy Bitsy, a 2019 horror movie written and directed by Micah Gallo (Massacre Lake, Scavengers).

Netflix's Halloween Horror Movies
Netflix knows a thing or two about horror movies. The American media-services provider and production company always has a long list of horror movies available. It has made some good suggestions for films to watch and enjoy around Halloween. Therefore, if you love spooky and scary movies, Netflix has you covered.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'White Noise: The Light' (2007)
You know, this movie wasn't half bad. I'm not sure what it had to do with White Noise, as there was almost zero connection to the original movie. The first movie dealt exclusively with EVP, and this movie basically didn't deal with it at all. I mean, it's kinda in the background, but I feel like the director just didn't understand what white noise EVP phenomenon is.

Why the 'Child's Play' Reboot Is Completely Unnecessary
As proven, Chucky is an icon, and a definitive character we, as fans, never get tired of seeing. His growth in film history has stretched past the media, and has entered online stores as actual life-sized dolls (Trick or Treat Studios), as well as figurines. In that case, Chucky is more than a character. He’s a souvenir, an ostentatious display reflecting our passion for not only the killer doll, but for the reign of terror he inflicts and holds with him on screen. Chucky, as an increasingly classical character in pop culture, has set such a mysterious and rare path that could seemingly lead the franchise on a broader outlook on what’s new to come out of this franchise, as well as the characters. There’s so much potential for this franchise to be continued... But something so unexpected and unwanted has happened, that either shocked us to the core, or made us hang our heads in disappointment—or both. That unfortunate occurrence was the announcement of this 2019 reboot, that is said to be a homage to the original 1988 cult classic, Child’s Play. “Homage?” I think not. While this reboot has went viral in the universal news of horror, it appears that it’s looked at as neither the revival of Chucky, nor the failure of Chucky. Well in my book, it’s definitely not a revival, and there are many reasons as to why that is. And, there are even more reasons why this reboot is completely pointless and serves no purpose for the fate of Chucky.

'IT Chapter Two' - An Honest Movie Review
Andy Muschietti returns to finish directing the IT saga two years after the first movie. Armed with a star-studded cast including James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Jessica Chastain to name a few, and of course the return of Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise. The film seemed destined to be one of the movies of the year. After seeing the movie for the first time six days ago, I think that it is a sensational sequel with some minor problems that somewhat slow down the film.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of '31'
Jesus fucking Christ Rob... you sure do know how to pull every god damn trope out of the box that annoys the fuck out of me. This one opens with a talking head, and continues with an unnecessarily long exposition on how annoying all the fucking characters are. It was actually pretty quick, no more than 10 minutes, but it felt like a goddamn hour. Fucking seriously! I hate it when a movie challenges me to break my 30 minute rule. And just so you know how bad it has to be for me to break one of my own rules, one of the few movies where I did was The Bay.
