ALL HALLOW’S EVE (31 Days of Horror)
I love Halloween time. For an entire month, it seems the entire country lives in anticipation for some of the same things I get enthusiastic about all year round. There is a celebration of spookiness in the air. It’s also … Continue reading ALL HALLOW’S EVE (31 Days of Horror)

HOLE IN THE WALL (31 Days of Horror)
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)

Director of YOUR HIGHNESS Is Sad He Can’t Ruin SUSPIRIA
Believe it or not, David Gordon Green used to have credibility. His first few films were hard-hitting, critically acclaimed dramas.
