[Review] “Gremlins” (in 4DX) the Enhanced Classic is a Holiday Treat
Baby Yoda may have taken over the world, but while everyone is reveling in his cuteness-overload I was reminded of an equally precious predecessor. When the adorable mogwai Gizmo popped on-screen during a showing of Gremlins in 4DX, my heart sighed. His furry tiny body, and charming personality easily rival Baby Yoda. He was the […]
[Review] Devil’s Junction: Handy Dandy’s Revenge – It’s Rare a Movie Gets So Much Wrong
Directed by Jeff Broadstreet, as Roy G. Biv., Devil’s Junction: Handy Dandy’s Revenge is the latest killer puppet flick to hit the horror-scene.

Dolls (2019) – Annabelle and Chucky Have Nothing on These Tiny Terrors
What is it about dolls that strikes fear into my cold little heart? From the moment I saw Talking Tina in The Twilight Zone, I knew something was amiss with recognizing life in an inanimate object. Pediophobia, the fear of dolls, is a primitive fear. To be superstitious of something similar to a person, but […]
Bloody Noses and Hand Grenades, the Darkly Entertaining debut from Dead Girls Corp
Hollywood-based rock band Dead Girls Corp has released their debut 12 track album, Bloody Noses and Hand Grenades. A distinctive rock band with influences of new wave, post-punk, goth, and industrial with lyrics that are sometimes dark, but always entertaining. If this band isn’t on your radar, I suggest you change that immediately. The band […]
