There's a new slasher movie that came out recently called The Strangers: Prey at Night. It's a sequel to The Strangers, a film that came out 10 years ago. I went to see this new sequel today. Honestly, it wasn't great. And it was nowhere near as terrifying as the first one. I really need … Continue reading Strangers

Rewatching Buffy
Kids, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was my favorite TV show for a lot of years. I daresay it continues to be my favorite TV show of all time. There is so much about the series to love: action, horror, comedy, Sarah Michelle Gellar. It's got it all. Joss Whedon really knew what he was doing … Continue reading Rewatching Buffy
It’s Out There…
Randy quickly entered the cabin and slammed the door shut behind him. He was breathing heavily and had a panicked look on his face. The others just stared at him, confused. He slowly turned, daring to peek through the peephole in the door. "Dude," Rob said, "What's the matter with you?" "It's out there!" Randy … Continue reading It’s Out There…
Instinct
When you see a butterfly, what's your first reaction? Do you cower in fear? Do you run and hide? Chances are you don't. Unless you have some kind of butterfly phobia that causes you to have an irrational fear of those particular insects. If memory serves, it's called lepidopterophobia. But that's really not important right … Continue reading Instinct
Cujo
Title: Cujo Author: Stephen King Published: 1981 I have a confession to make... A lot of the book reviews that I've been including on the blog are reviews that I had done on my previous blog. There are a lot of those old reviews that I've skipped because they're for books that I would like … Continue reading Cujo
The Dead Zone
Title: The Dead Zone Author: Stephen King Published: 1979 I have an issue with a quote on the back of my paperback copy of this book. Apparently, someone from Cosmopolitan called this book "truly frightening... will scare you witless!" Now, in a lot of Stephen King's stuff, I'll give that to him. I got scared … Continue reading The Dead Zone
Annabelle
I just needed to share a quick thought about this movie I just saw. I had a free Redbox rental and I thought I'd check out Annabelle. I like a good scary movie every now and again and I hadn't seen this one yet. I thought The Conjuring was pretty good, so why not give … Continue reading Annabelle
Dangerous
The girl ran as fast as her feet would carry her over the uneven ground. She knew that her unseen assailant was not far behind. She knew that looking back would cause her to slow down, but she wanted to see how much of a lead she had on the Bad Man. Was it a … Continue reading Dangerous
The Single Guy vs. the Giant Mutant Cockroach
The following account is based on actual events which occurred a number of years ago… Back in his banking days, there was a particular Friday which represented the culmination of a great deal of stress for the Single Guy. He had only been back from a true vacation for two weeks, but things were still … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. the Giant Mutant Cockroach
Don’t Send In the Clowns
I know I recently posted an old commercial that featured a really scary clown. Well, a friend was kind enough to point me in the direction of these old gems. Enjoy. Or... you know... cower in fear... like I'll be doing over here in the corner as I hold tight to my security blanket.
