I can’t lie… I’m pretty much a fan of everything Brian K . Williams and Ellie Church have done (especially together), so to say I have been looking forward to Jessie’s Super Normal Regular Average Day would be an understatement. I backed the Kickstarter campaign, but was prepared to wait …

Once again, it’s time for our regularly scheduled Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray release! For the end of summer 2019, we’ve got the 1984 indie sleeper hit, Decoder. Never heard of it? That’s probably because you weren’t a part of the antiestablishmentarianism counterculture of the early ’80s. Disco was dead and punk …

Bathed in the golden glow of the waning sun, a lone figure, gun slung over her shoulder, strides into view to the pulsing beat of a grinding soundtrack. This gorgeously filmed, perfectly framed opening of debut director Teddy Grennan’s Swing Low would look at home in any cool independent art …

I love a good old fashioned Halloween romp. Moreover, I feel like it’s an experience growing scarcer and scarcer.

I don’t know about you guys, but I grew up reading Alvin Schwartz’ Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark book series, taking out the school library’s only copies over and over until the pages were thin and the covers were frayed (sorry, Webster Middle School librarian). I loved that …

Halloween and horror enthusiasts of every age gathered at the Long Beach Convention Center in California to celebrate all things spooky. Since its first year back in 2016, Midsummer Scream has skyrocketed into one of the leading conventions to hit Southern California. I was in the mix of it all, …

Lucky McKee’s film, The Woman (2011), is a masterpiece. Gritty, raw, violent and disturbing, it leaves you feeling dirty, like your body is covered in grime and sweat. You can smell it, feel it, taste it. So when I heard that The Woman herself, Pollyanna McIntosh, was directing the sequel, …
