Phantasm (1979)

Two brothers deal with strange goings-on in a small Oregon town where people are dying and the most likely suspect is a creepy undertaker known as the Tall Man.

Freddy vs. Jason (2003)

When it first came out, I thought Freddy vs. Jason sounded absolutely ridiculous. It turns out that both horror franchises needed the breath of fresh air that this movie brings. With Freddy rendered powerless due to the townsfolk suppressing his memory, he uses Jason as his pawn to bring the good people of Springwood back to fearing him and thus giving him strength. I…

NFL Early Season Picks 2016

With week 5 almost in the books its time for me to make some predictions. AFC East: Patriots (4-1) I just cant see anyone stopping this team. The Bills are looking good but if Brady had been in the game I dont think they would have had a chance. North: Steelers (4-1) Possibly the best team in the AFC right now. The Ravens are…

The Gate (1987)

Two friends dig a hole in the main kid's backyard. They find a geode and unwittingly set in motion events to open a gateway to some hell dimension. Strange stuff starts happening. The 80s are strong with this one, particularly the fashion, music, and special FX. I liked the little demon creatures that looked mostly done in cheesy stop-motion. There were some good suspense moments…

Night of the Living Deb (2014)

After a one night stand, Deb and her guy friend awake to find themselves crotch deep in a zombie apocalypse. They go places and bicker and really shouldn't be alive by the end of the movie. Survivors can only survive when their brains are functioning better than the zombies. I kept thinking how Deb reminded me off Kimmy Schmidt from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. That…
