By Geno McGahee Ray Bradbury obviously had a hard on for carnivals. In 1983, he wrote SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES and that movie was terrible despite the fact that a carnival is the ideal setting for a horror movie. Seven years after that flick, perhaps Bradbury wanted to […]

Dreadtime Stories (2014) – ANTHOLOGY HORROR REVIEW
By Christopher Houtz I have to say, sometimes being a film critic ain’t easy. Oh sure, you get to watch lots of movies before they are released, help create buzz on a film (either positive or negative) and in general we get to indulge in our love of movies […]
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Veldt (1989) – TV SHOW REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Ray Bradbury liked futuristic stuff, but I guess that makes sense. He was considered a sci-fi writer and a great deal of sci-fi stuff takes place in the future, but this was the 1980’s version of the future. I grew up in the 1980s and loved it […]
The Ray Bradbury Theater: THE FRUIT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOWL (1988) – EPISODE HORROR REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I get the sneaking suspicion that Ray Bradbury dealt with a lot of assholes in his rise to fame. After watching so many of his stories, there is a common theme. If the lead is a writer, which many of them are, they deal with somebody either […]
The Ray Bradbury Theater: THE MAN UPSTAIRS (1989) – HORROR TV REVIEW
By Geno McGahee What if you had a vampire living upstairs from you? What if that vampire did absolutely nothing wrong and was just on vacation? This tale really is about vampire hate and how it drove one troubled boy to commit murder. This Ray Bradbury Theater episode “THE MAN […]
The Ray Bradbury Theater: THE COFFIN (1988) – TV EPISODE HORROR REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The 1980s was a big time for robots. There was a genuine fascination with them that led to many toy manufactures to create radio-controlled robots for the consumer. I remember wanting one, but my fat cousin got one instead. I never trusted him alone with that robot […]
The Ray Bradbury Theater: GOTCHA (1988) – TV EPISODE HORROR REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In like a lamb and out like a lion. The episode “GOTCHA” of the Ray Bradbury Theater begins very mellow, but it begins to slowly turn up the suspense leading to a very creepy ending. John (Saul Rubinek) goes to a costume party dressed like Oliver Hardy […]
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Lake (1989) – HORROR TV REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Lakes can be creepy and that is the setting for the 1989 Ray Bradbury Theater episode titled “THE LAKE.” Everyone has known somebody that has drowned at a lake and it is especially tragic when it’s a child. In this episode, we visit the death of […]
The Ray Bradbury Theater: THE PLAYGROUND (1985) – HORROR TV SHOW REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The Ray Bradbury Theater is a show that really had an impact on me as a child but the one tale that really stands out is THE PLAYGROUND. There aren’t many things scarier than evil children and there are several things that stand out here that make […]
Dreadtime Stories (2014) – HORROR ANTHOLOGY MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Ann I’m a longtime fan of horror anthologies and indie filmmaking. When I saw the trailer for Dreadtime Stories, I was beyond excited to check it out. Director Jacob Grim and Executive Producer Sal Hernandez from STX Media brought 10 stories to life in their first full […]
Scary Tales: Last Stop (2015) – Bigfoot, Slasher Horror Anthology Review
By Chris Summerfield ‘All Aboard! All Aboard! The train is about to leave the station, hurry now you don’t want to miss it….’ Well as regards the train within this movie, just perhaps you would have been reluctant to buy a ticket, however, sit back, relax and brace yourself […]
Scary Tales (2014) – Horror Anthology Review
By Chris Summerfield So movie Anthologies, the first one that comes to mind that is very old is of course, 1945, ‘Dead of Night’. As for the most likely ones that come to mind are of course, ‘Creepshows’ and the many Amicus movie, anthologies, all of which deliver, short and […]
