Are There Hidden Dangers in the Subconscious Mind? Movies like Stir of Echos and Get Out play in a subgenre of horror that I feel is rarely explored. There are still so many things we don’t know about the subconscious mind. Let alone the complexity of human consciousness in general. The …

My love of horror films started later in life. Up until my early 20’s, I was more of an arthouse cinephile than a Wes Craven fan. But then my brother and I started working at the same independent video store to make money during college. As a bonus, we were …

I’m sure a lot of people can relate to how insane young love is. The sum of intensity, drama, and no equitable frame of reference to compare it to. I mean, who hasn’t had their car hood jumped on or had some shoes thrown at them by their first significant …
