Scrappy Scrote. After three weeks of films with objectionable content (real-life kangaroo murder in Wake in Fright, an injured actress and problematic killer in Incident in a Ghostland and “consensual rape” in Perdita Durango), we thought it might be nice to swamp out the dark and dreary for the…colorful and cheerful? That’s right, we’re heading back

Freddy Krueger was everywhere in the late 80s. It only made sense that he’d get his own show. But unlike Friday the 13th: The Series, Freddy’s Nightmares would put its headlining star front-and-center.

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be covering Peter Webber’s 2007 entry in the Hannibal franchise, Hannibal Rising.

While we often take it for granted during the rushed blur of our daily lives, a single glance up at the sky should make it pretty obvious why primitive cultures once worshipped the sun.

It’s always fun to reminisce on the media of your youth and trace the bloody trails of your lifelong fears back to their origins. Me, I’ve always been anxious around bodies of water. The ocean in particular fascinates me as much as it terrifies me. It’s not a potent enough fear to be a phobia,

If you have even a passing knowledge of the interconnectivity of the Stephen King universe, you’ll likely know that something’s up with the paperback cover of Gwendy’s Final Task — the conclusion of a trilogy of novels co-written with Richard Chizmar.
