Muppets Haunted Mansion: Mostly Spooky Fun
Muppets Haunted Mansion is an obvious crossover. With Disney owning the rights to the characters, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.

There’s Someone Inside Your House: A Complicated Viewing Experience
There’s Someone Inside Your House initially got my attention because of that title. It’s almost hilariously blunt. The most standard slasher scenario reduced to a single sentence.
Nightbooks: Actually Scary Children’s Horror
Nightbooks has a killer premise. It’s a modernized take on the Hansel and Gretel story that retains its disturbing and nightmarish aspects. It once again highlights how you can do stories for younger audiences that still maintain fear.
It Came From The Archives “MOVIE REVIEW: Shadows on the Wall (2015)”
Independent filmmaking is an important part of American cinema. Films that aren’t tied to massive budgets or governed by large studios tend to be more free to take risks and explore new possibilities of stories and their telling.
American Elsewhere: A Scattershot Horror Tome
American Elsewhere resists review—because it’s massive. The paperback is 662 pages. That’s Stephen King tome levels. That’s epic fantasy size.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: The Fun Of The MCU
From the offset, I was onboard for She-Hulk. I’m not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to comics, but a lawyer who deals with the legal ramifications of superpowered shenanigans is a great premise.
Pseudopod: Horror Is Alive And Well
The tricky thing about reviewing Pseudopod is that it has over eight hundred episodes, usually around thirty minutes.
It Came From The Archives “Volition: Deceptively Brilliant Science Fiction”
Whatever the number, not enough people have seen this film. So, I’m bringing back an old review to remind you how cool this time-travel feature really is. Originally Published: July 22nd, 2020 Volition Is Much Smarter Than It Initially Seems Volition was the movie I didn’t know I needed. It was refreshing and enjoyable to get…
I Am Groot: I Am Groot (The Show Is Pretty Great)
Considering the number of cutesy series on Disney+, I’m astonished it took this long for Baby Groot to get his own.
The Sandman: A Brutally Dark Fairy Tale
As I’m sure is true of many of its viewers, I’ve not read The Sandman comics. The series finished before I was born, so I hope it’s at least a little forgivable. I watched the show because I love Coraline and deeply enjoyed Good Omens and American Gods. Neil Gaiman tends to make stuff I like, and the trailers looked fantastic.
Chibi Tiny Tales: A Cute Distraction
The most noteworthy thing about Chibi Tiny Tales is that something like it exists. “Chibi” is a term from Japan referring to an animation style of large-headed, overly expressive characters.
Ms. Marvel: A Delightful Suprise
Ms. Marvel is blissfully not part of the Marvel slush. It’s not rote or the same story again. Though dealing with a teenager coming of age, it’s not simply Spider-Man with a different protagonist. Instead—within the first three episodes—it becomes a family drama with the superhero aspects simply elevating the emotions.
