Free Range Nightmare Fuel (and other assorted “art”)
In no particular order, here are some drawings I knocked out recently that you might find horrifying(ly interesting). If you’ve been sleeping too soundly, these should be just the cure for what ails you. There’s an obvious Lovecraftian influence to many of the following…because that shit is scary as hell. Just wanted to point it…

Review: The Last of Us, Eps. 6-9 (HBO)
I’ll try to keep this relatively spoiler-free, but, as usual, don’t be surprised if a few plot details show up. What do you expect me to do, edit this? Pros: -The cast was fantastic the whole way through: Pedro Pascal turned in a soulful, haunting performance as a much more hardcore adoptive dad than he…

Review Showdown: The Callisto Protocol vs. Dead Space (2023)
Introduction: I held off on posting this review until I’d wrapped up both games; it took me a couple of weeks to finish the Dead Space remake, but, with its myriad of fleshy horrors safely in the rearview mirror, here’s a double review no one asked for. Honestly, it’s so one-sided that it isn’t much…

Review: The Last of Us, Eps. 1-5 (HBO)

Review: Halloween Ends
This was a weird one. Not bad-weird, but strange enough that a one-sided discussion like this necessitates the disclosure of… *From far away, across a desolate, blasted land, comes the tolling of ancient bells* …spoilers (the spookiest thing of all). Away we go. Part the First: Some Grisly Context You’re probably aware that Halloween Ends…

The Final Girl Support Group: A Zandor Review
If there are two things you need to know about Zandor, they are: 1) he is enthralled by anything and everything related to 1980’s horror, and 2) he speaks exclusively in the third person. So, when Zandor first heard the title of Grady Hendrix’s most recent horror novel, The Final Girl Support Group, he was…

Review: Resident Evil (Netflix)
Remember when I opened up about my collection of Lance Reddick body pillows? I saw that as a fun way of connecting with my audience (and removing the stigma from gettin’ snuggly with Lance). What was the harm? Resident Evil was the harm. See, if I’m going to be able to show my face at…

Review: Love, Death & Robots (Season 3)
Mild spoilers below. Three Robots: Exit Strategies My overall feelings about LDR’s second season were lukewarm…so seeing the three ‘bots from the very first episode of the series return for more darkly humorous adventures was a good sign. A bit of the intrinsic humor of the situation naturally wears off in a second installment, but…
