I love horror. I consume genre films, tv, and books. THE THING is the greatest movie of all time and I wish Chucky was my bestie. I have 6 cats and 2 dogs and I'm a horror movie toy collector. I am not a professional critic but I do enjoy discussing horror with anyone who will listen.

Re-Animator 40th Anniversary in 4k // Imagine Fantastic ilm Festival 2025 Review

Thanks to Imagine Fantastic Film Festival 2025, I was able to revisit the classic Re-Animator for its 40th anniversary.

Pairing the exorcism subgenre with Algeria’s generational trauma, Roqia piqued my interest from the get-go.

Latino Representation in Horror // The Expendables

Recently, I have been rewatching my favorite comfort horror movies—a sign of the times. I think I went through Elvira’s entire catalogue, and I watched quite a bit of Spanish-language horror. My favorites, though, are slashers all day. Good times, except that I found myself growing increasingly annoyed. Is this all we’ve got in terms

Fantasia Film Festival 2025 wound down over the weekend, and I have a recommendation to add to our Festival Frights page. Touch Me’s movie poster mesmerized me like a fly to a bug zapper.
