This part’s scary good. Especially if you need a laugh! Matt Mikalatos on the Internet: Check out Matt’s blog here. Follow […]
Why We Love Monsters
I got to hang out with Matt Mikalatos and Clay Morgan this past weekend (listen to Matt’s awesome talk on the Invisible (Wo)Man here).

There are headlines that make you do a double take, and then there are headlines that make you step on your dog, smash your knee on a metal file cabinet and smash your candy bar into the wall because there’s NO possible way what you just saw could ever be real. Nicolas Cage Likely to […]
One of the early promos for the original airing of The Walking Dead used the idea of how a person’s awareness of God would come into play during a zombie apocalypse. Of all the footage the producers could have selected to help introduce this new show they chose these 15 seconds for one of the […]
It occurred to me recently that the first horror story I ever read was The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Not sure you’d consider a Sherlock Holmes story to be in the horror category, but I remember being frightened as I read. And loving it. I must have been pretty young […]
Ben Affleck’s third film Argo should cement his status as a director to watch. Gone Baby Gone is still one of my favorite films of all time, and The Town was great. Now he’s given us Argo, a truly incredible piece of storytelling that’s a love letter to cinema, a reflection on how much of […]
