“Fuckin’ Draculas, bro.” Oh, the ’80s. For horror fans of a certain age, the memory of scouring the aisles of the local video store, analyzing the covers of VHS tapes and trying to find the coolest films with no internet recommendations to back up your choice… it was like trying …

House of Salem (2017) – Movie Review

When I first heard about the 2017 horror flick House of Salem, it sounded to me like a bunch of horror cliches thrown together to form a mishmash of storylines but no fathomable plot. Too many arcs can kill a story, horror or otherwise. I didn’t want to see this …
