If you have an appetite for Shot on Video (SOV) horror movies, there’s a new micro-budget feature film named Pizza Guy 8 that’s currently crowdfunding and serving up perks on Indiegogo. The film, directed by Troma alumnus Tate Hoffmaster and produced by Dylan Mars Greenberg (Adult Swim, Rolling Stone), follows a pizza delivery guy who is pushed to the point of a killing spree. And the dash of parmesan added to this homage to SOV horror? He develops an awareness that he’s in a horror movie and tries to escape.

A few days ago, I was staring at the coffee maker and it looked so drab to me so I wondered how I could fix it. Why not take it a step further? Spice up your life and all. There was a stack of old junk mail on the counter that had a sheet of cardstock sandwiched in between. A light bulb went off in my head. It’s stencil time! I grabbed my frother and pumpkin spice and went to work. It only took a few minutes which is how long I want this blog post read to be, so you, fellow Trekkie, can enjoy this Star Trek stencil I made for your coffee! Thanks to some encouragement/requests from the LLAP Com ..read more

I give my dad a lot of credit for getting me into horror because he and his squadron put together haunted houses every October and one year, I dared to enter. It’d be an incorrect assessment to make that my love of horror wasn’t seeded elsewhere. It goes back, years before I walked into my first haunted house as a pre-teen. In a brief move from Japan to the United States, my parents were going through a divorce. I didn’t know. I thought I had two homes and I saw two people in love. My mom moved us into a one-bedroom apartment and I’d spend time with dad on weekends. For two years, mom powered ..read more

Every November, I think of Melanie Lynskey’s character Jacqueline in Ever After (1998) saying “I’m only here for the food” because it sums up how I feel about the holiday. Sure, family togetherness is great but Thanksgiving can be one of the most stressful holidays of the year for many. We all know it and especially after the shit show of a year we’ve been having, Thanksgiving dinner might not sound like the greatest idea to most. We’ll miss out on the socializing this year (obviously), not to mention the pounds of seasonal food that would either be devoured or bagged to-go by your great grams ..read more

Under the larger umbrella of horror, there is a plethora of subgenres that cater to all sorts of predilections. Gothic horror is perhaps one of the most misunderstood by modern audiences. Whenever a new piece of gothic horror is released, there’s always the same middling and often ignorant responses the piece is lambasted with. There are lots of cries of, “It’s not scary!” or the tried and true, “This isn’t horror!” But oh, dear reader, it is horror. In fact, it is one of the oldest subgenres that rests under that larger aforementioned umbrella and created a solid foundation for modern horror ..read more
