With the release of Evil Dead Burn, I thought this would be the perfect time to look back at one of the greatest, weirdest, bloodiest, funniest, and most consistently entertaining franchises in horror history. And yes, I absolutely consider it a universe now. We're not just talking about six feature films anymore. There was the terrific Ash vs. Evil Dead television series, comic books, graphic novels, video games, stage musicals, crossover stories, documentaries, conventions,

There has always been something fascinating about aliens. Seriously, think about it. Long before movies, before television, before radio dramas, before podcasts, before any of us were arguing online about whether UFO footage is real or fake, human beings have stared up into the sky and wondered what the hell is out there. It's one of those questions that never goes away. Are we alone? Is there intelligent life somewhere else in the universe? If there is, what does it look lik

Alright, this one is special. This one is really special. If you know me at all (and I mean at all) you know two things: I love John Carpenter, and I love the drive-in. And when those two things come together? That’s not just an event. That’s heaven. So I am beyond thrilled, honored, and honestly a little giddy to be hosting Carpenter Fest 2: Dusk-to-Dawn at the legendary Midway Drive-In in Dixon, Illinois on Saturday, May 16th. This is a full-on, all-night celebration of Joh

You know, it’s funny, every time a new movie gets announced now, your first reaction is, “Oh, great…what are they rebooting this time?” Because that’s where we are. Everything is a reboot, a sequel, a reimagining, a “new take,” and originality in Hollywood is, let’s just say…not exactly thriving. I’ve complained about it a million times (on the podcast, on the socials, on this very site) but every once in a while, every once in a while, one of these reboots or revivals or wha

Alright…let’s talk about one of my favorite, weirdest, most ridiculous and honestly kind of hilarious chapters in movie history…Video Nasties. Because this is one of those things that, if you grew up in the ‘80s, if you were a horror fan, if you were even remotely curious about movies that your parents told you not to watch, this was like…this was the holy grail of forbidden fruit. And it all starts, really, with this perfect storm. Early ‘80s. VHS explodes. Suddenly everybod

So with Scream 7 in theaters, I thought, okay… this is the moment. Not to talk about whatever corporate committee is keeping Ghostface on life support like a horror franchise CPR dummy, but to talk about the guy. The guy who mattered. The guy who actually had a brain, a point of view, a sense of humor, and a real filmmaker’s instinct for how to scare you and also how to mess with you while he’s scaring you. Wes Craven . The real deal. The master. And yes, before anybody ge
