One of the things I want to do with this site is present people with interesting horror themed sites.  It was a piece of good fortune that a little while ago, I was approached by @ZombieTees on Twitter, and asked to have a look at their website and possibly do a write-up. Since websites are constantly changing, updating, and evolving, I really can't assign a " Good, Bad, Ugly " sort of rating.  All I can do is write about what my initial impression of the site is like, and offer some possibly ideas that might help them attract a larger group of people. With that in mind, here we go... ZombieTees.net is a horror themed business site.  They offer T-shirts, mugs, mouse pads, hats, and baby clothes- all with mostly zombie themed artwork on them. If Sheldon Cooper from " Big Bang Theory " was into horror, these would be the sorts of T-shirts he'd wear.  They average about $21.00 (US), and come in sizes from Medium to XXX-Large.  Decently price

Every once in awhile, I find a movie that is hard to classify because I'm not all together sure HOW I feel about it.  Such was the case with this past week's " What Movie Wednesday " winner, " Bloody Wednesday "... After being released from a mental institution, Harry finds himself unwanted and alone in an abandoned hotel with a gang of punks and a ghostly bellhop.  Soon, Harry is questioning what's real... and what he's going to do about it.. . " Bloody Wednesday " is a strangely fascinating movie.  Based very loosely on the San Ysidro McDonald's massacre of 1984, this movie follows a mentally unstable man as he moves towards committing a mass shooting at a coffee shop.  You know it's coming from the fact that they show the aftermath at the beginning of the movie, making you interested in the path taken to that point. Despite being inspired by true events, the overall storyline is a little silly.  I highly doubt that an acc

  Sometimes, while surfing through channels, you find a horror movie that makes you stop and go, " Hmmm... I think I'll watch this one ..."  It makes you curious about what it's about, and whether it's any good.  Such was the state of things while watching TV with my Sister-in-Law... and " Goblin "... Neil and his family have arrived at a small town hoping to start a new business and a new life.  Soon however, they realize that something's wrong with the town... and that something wants Neil's newborn son ... " Goblin " is a Syfy Channel made for TV movie that was filmed in the forests surrounding Pitt Meadows, British Columbia- which made it of interest to me, living in British Columbia myself.  From the title alone, I could tell that it was going to be a B-movie- and I wasn't disappointed. For a B-movie, this one was entertaining and fun to watch.  The premise was actually interesting, with some decent plot points

Sometimes, a horror movie's title fits the movie, while sometimes, they don't.  Such is the case of " Night Fright "... Shortly after a flaming object is sighted crashing near a small Texas town, a teen couple are brutally killed.  Soon the local Sheriff, and a group of partying teens are being stalked and killed through the deep woods as they try to discover who or what the killer is.. . When I hear a title like, " Night Fright ," I tend to think of ghosts and demons terrorizing innocent people in the middle of the night... or of late night TV shows airing old B-movies.  This movie would certainly qualify to be shown during such a show. In fact, judging from the opening credits, and musical scoring, I would say that " Night Fright " was actually a made for TV Movie- and a cheesy one to boot. Which probably made it a perfect choice for winner of this weeks, " What Movie Wednesday " installment, as it won the poll with a total o

Haven't you ever wanted to be the villian in a game?  I know I have.  Luckily, there are games out there that let you be good or bad... or just bad to the bone... You are the Ghost Master.  Your job is to use "field ghosts" to scare mortals out of their wits ultimately taking the Ghostbreakers who want to send you back to the ether ... " Ghost Master " is a Real Time Strategy game that puts you in control of ghosts that can be used to haunt a location, and cause the mortals on site to flee... or go insane.  You start out small- scaring college students, and work your way up to wreaking havoc in a mad scientist's laboratory. To do this, you can assign various ghosts to the case, and use their abilities to scare the mortals and free trapped spirits.  Each ghost has different abilities that create different effects within the game.  You are limited on the number of ghosts you can assign each mission, so you have to think strategically about which ones

Over the course of the past year or so, I have been asked by a few people a couple of simple questions: How do you determine what rating to give a movie, etc? and What makes you think that you're right about your rating? I'd like to take this time to answer these two questions. First, a quick and concise description of how I determine a movie's rating:   The Good : This a book, movie, or game that manages to fully engage my attention and suspension of disbelief. In a book or movie of this calibre, I tend to come to care about the characters and what happens to them. The story is unique, interesting, and well paced- with a style that actually manages to flip my emotional switches as it goes along. A book or movie that, when finished, make me want to sit down and experience it again. The Bad : This is a book, movie, or game that is hit and miss when it comes to engaging my attention and making me slip into the world described within. In a book or movie

When it comes to my " What Movie Wednesday " sessions, I approach them with anticipation and wry amusement.  Anticipation because I never know what sort of movie the voters will have me watch.  Wry amusement because sometimes, I think the voters are hoping I get a bit of a turkey... just to see what sort of comments I'll make on Twitter while watching it...   After a group of soldiers disappear during a training exercise, a crack Delta Force team is sent in to find out what happened.  Soon however, the team discovers that whatever killed the soldiers is now stalking them... and killing them one by one ... To be fair, this movie is flawed, but I had fun watching it- though I'm not sure it's the sort of fun that was intended by the film makers. The story is basic and simple- as are the characters.  Both are very much in the style of the original " Predator " movie... but with less excitement and a not as scary villian.  Neither story nor characters

A couple of months ago, I sat down and watch the " Omen " series of movies.  Since then, I've reviewed, the 1976 & 2006 releases of the first movie , as well as 1978's " Damien: Omen II ".  This month, I'll be reviewing " Omen III: The Final Conflict ". Damien Thorn is grown up and appointed as the US Ambassador to Great Britian.  When an astronomical alignment occurs, Thorn realizes the time of The Second Coming is upon him, and he puts plans into operation to prevent it from happening.  Soon, Thorn and a group of priests are in a confrontation that will lead to mankind's destiny resting in the balance. .. " Omen III: The Final Conflict " isn't  a bad movie.  I wouldn't say that it's a classic, but there are some things that I really liked. The story is fairly solid, and well paced.  It gives all the characters a chance to be developed, and play a significant role in the events taking place.  Very few of

I think I've said this before, but one of the things I enjoy about my ongoing " What Movie Wednesday " feature is that I never quite know what to expect from the movies chosen to be a part of it.  " Moon of the Wolf " is no exception... Marsh Island has fallen victim to a brutal killing.  While the residents prepare to hunt down the wild dogs they think killed a young women, evidence discovered by the local Sheriff lead him to believe that it was a man that commited the horrible crime.  Soon, he and an old crush will discover that the killer is much more than an animal... or a man... The 1970's was an era when made for TV movies became the rage.  " Moon of the Wolf "- which is actually based on a novel by Leslie H. Whitten), is one such movie- and has all the limitations of them as well. The premise and story isn't the most original, and could be seen as rather simplistic- but when you think about it, most made for TV movies fit that de
