My obligations sneaking up on me while I continue to binge-play video games & blog I'm working on submitting a chapter to a book (!) and an article for Pride month on a horror website (!), so I'm going to need to buckle down and probably won't be posting often this month.

What Makes a Horror Movie a Horror Movie

Favorite 90s Horror Movies
Despite growing up in the 90s as a horror movie fan, most of the horror movies I watched were from the 80s. It would be years till I discovered the brutal rawness of 70s horror or international horror classics. Like many horror fans, Stephen King adaptations and 80s slashers were my inroads to the genre … Continue reading Favorite 90s Horror Movies
