The very name Rob Zombie can trigger people. There’s a line in the sand; sometimes, people cross it. I am a firm believer that I should give anything one try. Some movies stick, and some don’t. I am a personal fan of Zombie’s work. As social media evolves, so do …

There is not one horror fan in the world who doesn’t know the name George A. Romero. It’s common knowledge that he is a legend. However, he wasn’t just the king of the Zombies; George was so much more, from working with Mr. Rogers to pandemics that make people stone-cold …
