First aired October 15th, 2014. Episode two of Freak Show introduces new characters and sets up season-long story arcs. There will be lots of chaos as the show moves forward, and AHS hasn’t lost its capacity for shocking visuals. Strongman Dell Toledo (played by Michael Chicklis) and his hermaphrodite wife, Desiree Dupree (played by Angela Bassett),…
First aired October 8th, 2014. “What you’re about to see will astound your senses and harrow your very souls.” American Horror Story: Freak Show hit the ground running, opening the series with a milkman walking into a house and finding a woman brutally murdered. But it’s his discovery of Bette and Dot Tattler (played by…
From the ambiguously motivated masked serial murderer of Halloween to the bourgeois alien-humanoid oppressors of They Live, filmmaker John Carpenter has carved quite a niche for himself. Although long appreciated as a “master of horror,” Carpenter has demonstrated his creative prowess across a number of genres. He shot his first theatrical feature during his student…
Drip, drip, drip, bleh. –Not the Editor (?) As a big fan of horror, October is kind of my jam. Classics on TV, my favorites from my collection, and a couple from recent years get watched all month long. This year, I had the opportunity to check out an indie feature that’s getting some serious…
Meanwhile, in Spain, people are probably sacrificing their souls to the devil instead of watching this film. People are setting themselves on fire and running through traffic instead of watching this film. I wish someone had told me that I would rather jump off of a cliff than sit through this film. Anyway, Deranged (2012) follows…
The night I saw As Above, So Below, I left the theater at 11:34. I was suddenly reminded of third grade and how much fun it was to make words on a cheap calculator. All I had to do was turn a calculator upside down, and 11:34 becomes ‘hell’. And, as every 3rd Grader did…
The most important question you will ask yourself is, “How come I didn’t know about this movie?” Director and writer Jeong-woo Park has still left me in shock after his film, Yeon-ga-si, or for us English speakers, Deranged. The plot follows the connected storyline of brothers Jae-pil (Dong-wan Kim) and Jae-hyuk (Myung-min Kim). Jae-hyuk is…
SURPRISE! Hah! It happened! Okay, it’s ready now. You don’t have to wait anymore. The next chapter of “Stitches” is HERE! Gosh, this story has become quite the project! A third part will be released to conclude the story, but for now, HERE‘s the second! If you aren’t caught up yet and want to read “Part…
Hey everyone. It’s 1:55 in the morning on the East Coast. I’m very tired. This is not complaint so much as a general statement of my present condition. I could use some rest. I’m publishing a good chunk of “Stitches” right now. I know that I stated that I’d have it done, and I will…
You have to understand that I was not on this team. When I read the words Dracula Untold, it had the same effect on me as reading Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood or Leprechaun in Space (please google these monstrosities, children). I clicked on the trailer because what the hell, why not? I see this…
Beware: Spoils ahead. Gah, Alex is such a butt in this episode. Dude, nobody wants to be “the Chosen One,” nobody. Nobody wakes up and says, “Wow, I would love to carry this huge burden and save all of mankind. I think it’d be really cool to have my life and the lives of the…
