It looks epic in it’s scope – and production and, I can’t wait to lay eyes on […]
One of the best adaptations of a Stephen King novel ever! That’s this horror fans opinion – and it went largely unnoticed because it aired on a goofy network to which literally no one subscribed. It showed some signs of life after hitting home video – and the free streaming service Hoopla – which is […]

Stephen King has a thing about evil motor vehicles.

What a great time it is to be a horror fan when I can sit here and prepare myself to talk to you about the return of a classic horror franchise – made famous by the brilliant horror minds of George Romero, Stephen King, and Tom Savini. There is no question in any genre fans […]
