  • 12 Days of Christmas Horror

    After having surgery this month, I spent an unprecedented amount of time on the couch. Yes, I used this time to catch up on writing blogs and movie reviews, BUT ’tis the season for holiday horror. Allow me to present the 12 Days of Christmas Horror, twelve horror movies I indulged in this holiday season.…

  • #31DaysofHorror Bingo, Year 2!

    We’re baaaaaaaack! Last year, I stepped up my #31DaysofHorror (watching a horror movie every day in the month of October) experience by adding bingo to the game. This year, I am returning to the same haunt with a new board, fresh with different horror movie tropes and cliches! Will I top my record of 50 horror…

  • In the month of May, I participated in the ABCs of Horror Movie Challenge hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Halloween. Each day, I selected a horror movie I had not seen to match the letter of the alphabet for that day. So allow me to share my new-to-me horror alphabet from May. A is for…

  • October Madness

    You know your October is crazy when it takes you until mid-November to recover enough to even reflect back on it. But now, two weeks later, I think I can nearly breathe again. October has always been a busy time for me. As a horror writer, it’s the height of the season for the genre.…

  • Telluride Horror Show

    I have been so busy posting reviews for the Telluride Horror Show, that I haven’t yet had time to talk about my actual experience of it!

  • #31DaysofHorror Bingo!

  • #31DaysofHorror

    This October, a friend on Twitter invited me to participate in #31DaysofHorror, in which you strive to watch one horror movie each day. Initially, I thought I would participate here and there, as I could. I should have known better. Once I started, I became obsessive as I always do. After the Nightmare on Elm…

  • Coding Horror

    By night, I might be a twisted horror-loving author… but by day, I am a mild-mannered (haha, not really!) solutions architect and technical writer, slinging XSLT, HTML, and CSS code and cranking out user help documentation. This very much makes me a person of multiple minds and multiple lives. All in all, this also amounts…

  • (Originally published on MoviePilot.com) Let’s face it: dating can be horrible. Some might even say that dating is a horror in itself. The endless parade of repeated failed relationships, the perpetually dashed hopes, the awful ways people hurt each other. My dating life was thankfully brief, though still plenty traumatic. Now, as a spectator to…

  • Farewell to a Master

    I do not usually post here or write about the happenings in Hollywood, even when particularly influential figures pass on. However, I am making an exception in the case of horror master Wes Craven. Wes Craven made so many masterful horror movies and greatly shaped and influenced the genre. Everyone knows that. For me, it…
