Lanterns Brings Green Lantern Down to Earth

WARNING: Spoilers for the first two episodes of Lanterns. I have owned or co-owned three comic book stores in my life. The first was Exodus Comics, which operated out of the rec room in my parentsโ€™ house. I later joined… Continue Reading →

The 2026 #HauntLife Midyear Awards: The Good, the Bad and the Backrooms

Last year, I introduced the #HauntLife Midyear Movie Missteps Awards, a completely unnecessary ceremony honoring the movies that confused, disappointed or irritated me during the first half of 2025. It was both petty and therapeutic in a way. It was… Continue Reading →

No One Will Hear Your Scream Takes a Stab at Argentina’s First Slasher

One of the things I love most about the horror genre is discovering how different countries approach it. Japan has given us vengeful ghost stories. Italy helped define the giallo movement with stylish murder mysteries drenched in blood. France pushed… Continue Reading →

Simple Star Wars Works with The Mandalorian and Grogu

I remember when Grogu first showed up in The Mandalorian and my immediate reaction was basically, โ€œOh look, here comes Disneyโ€™s newest marketing scheme.โ€ It felt obvious to me, at the time. You’ve got this tiny green baby alien with… Continue Reading →

Vampires of the Velvet Lounge Brings a Beautiful Bloodbath

History books are generally written by the victors of war, so why should the stories of true-life legends be any different? Throughout the years, Hungarian noblewoman Elizabeth Bathory was known to be beautiful, smart and wealthy, but after her husband’s… Continue Reading →

Dracula Through the Ages: From Lugosi to Caleb Landry Jones

Dracula has never stayed dead for too long. Every few years, someone, or perhaps more accurately, some studio, resurrects him, reshapes him and sends him back into the world carrying old emotions and newly repackaged evil. Sometimes he is an… Continue Reading →

Vampire Zombies… From Space! is the B-Movie I Grew Up Loving

My love for campy horror runs deep. I mean, the kind of movies that know exactly what they are and never try to pretend otherwise. They are loud, messy, ridiculous and completely unconcerned with being taken seriously. These films are… Continue Reading →
