When I lived up north, it was right on the Minnesota-Wisconsin border. I didn’t venture into Wisconsin that often, momentous trips like picking up my dog aside. Most of the time, trips across the border occurred in those crucial years … Continue reading HOLE IN THE WALL (31 Days of Horror)

Back in the 1980s, you couldn’t go more than a couple of months without a new slasher film popping up. Most of these films involved silent killers in easy-to-trademark masks stalking a bunch of horny teens. Eventually, it became more … Continue reading VARSITY BLOOD (31 Days of Horror)
