3.) 3 points for an episode with a running time of MORE than 60 minutes.

4.) If you finish a season in its entirety, you get b... Continue »

Can you believe this movie is almost 10 years old and I finally saw it? I've been reluctant because I like the original well enough, so when it comes to remakes, I'm always skeptical.

Director Franck Khalfoun's other somewhat popular movie P2 was a piece of shit, and Amityville Awakening was alright, but he got Elijah Wood in this movie? I suppose he looks somewhat evil at times, and this movie lets him shine. It's a pretty faithful remake, what with the mannequins and scalps and a similar endi... Continue »

You ever have a friend, when you were younger, who stayed "that way" for far too long? Maybe someone you knew in high school and well into your 20's, who hadn't quite got it yet? A situation that could lead to two friends having very different interests and priorities to the point that it could get annoying. This might be especially true if one is trying their best to be the opposite. Even if one still cares, one could find themselves drifting a... Continue »

On MovieMeter (that's a Dutch movie board which I frequent daily and organise horror projects regularly) there is a buddy of mine organising a female directors movie challenge for the month March. I said I'll participate but won't go for a high number of views. Now that I realized there is a trash challenge in the same month which interests me more I'll try to combine both.

There is a lot more female directors than I realized given how my buddy has been providing movie lists directed by women.... Continue »

Man 1: Why do you have so many dirty dishes in your sink?

Man 2: I don't have a dishwasher anymore.

Man 1: Did it break?

Man 2: No she died.

I've been working on a lot of changes to the internal mechanics of the site, so as you've probably noticed, a lot of features don't work. I try to prioritize them by which ones users will notice are gone and which they wont, so I'll be keeping the forum and shoutbox open as long as I can, but I'll need to shut them down soon so I can rework them.

Fortunately, I believe that the TEDb skin will still work in the meantime, so if you come to TE one day and see everything is broken, try the TEDb ski... Continue »

Just a heads up, I have found a few parody accounts on Twitter, purporting to be various characters from AHS1984. I have mentioned this type of thing before, possibly in the shout box. I like this type of twitter account, sometimes they can be hilarious. There are also tons of them that claim to be characters from John Carpenter movies. Sometimes they interact with each other, have relationships, visit the settings of other movies, etc.

But, sorry, I just wanted to talk about the AHS198... Continue »

Anybody ever read this? He wrote it in the early 90s. It takes place shortly after the Romanian president Ceaucescu was killed, in late 1989. Well, that's when it begins, and most of the action is in about 1991. It's sort of a Dracula story, ultimately, although various other vampires are even more important to the plot, in many ways. At least, as far as the protagonists ever even understand the actual plot, which is to say, not much...

Anyway, it's pretty interesting. I am going to have... Continue »

I can't get enough of this song lately. I believe it was markus who called me out on my ignorance of the Animals album, and this song quickly rose to the ranks of my favorites. It might be perfect.

This one has some serious Children of the Corn vibes. It's set in middle America, it has creepy kids, and there's something very similar to He Who Walks Behind the Rows. Did I mention that it's also written by Stephen King and Joe Hill? Yup, that would explain it...

So our protagonists stop by this church in the middle of nowhere, and when they're about to head out, they hear the voice of a young boy in the fields crying out for help. Once they make the decision to go in after him, they find it... Continue »

Man, this was a long movie, and I don't think it needed to be. Back in 2017, everyone went gaga over the first part, and I thought it was just okay. People seem to love that Stranger Things vibe and maybe it was somewhat charming, but it wasn't the be all end all of Stephen King adaptions, was it?

Two years later (or 27 years later) the grown-ups are in for the final act, and they're appropriately cast and all that, but so what? Something is off, but the high production values are trying to con... Continue »

The winner is.... Twin Peaks!

All the shows listed were great, but twin peaks has won. This show is phenomenal, and if you haven't watched it, you definitely should! Damn Fine Coffee... I mean show!

Let me begin this by expressing my absolute hatred of Suicide Squad. That movie is a piece of shit, and anyone involved with it ought to be embarrassed. It's a stain on the director's otherwise solid filmography, and an abomination if there ever was one. I hate DCU movies with a passion and I have no desire to see anymore live-action movies set in that retarded universe, and no desire to watch the new Birds of Prey movie either. Fuck that shit.

While most of DC's pop movie efforts fail, their e... Continue »

Twin Peaks(4) vs. The Twilightzone(1959)(3)

I'm not gonna lie. This season was phenomenal. As a seasonal anthology show of sorts, it has almost nothing to do with season 1, thrusting you into a whole new misadventure with new characters. Basically, you're staring a new show in itself, but it wastes no time getting interesting. After the first episode, I was hooked.

The season switches between three storylines that weave in and out of each other. One of which involves the family trauma of Tim Robbins, his nephews, and his adopted Somali f... Continue »

At last year's annual horror convention in DFW, Meat Loaf's clumsy old ass tripped and he broke his collar bone, leaving the convention before I ever got there. He claims his career is now "ruined" and is trying to sue the convention. And to think I wanted to meet this guy...
