Be careful what you wish for … Ahhh, who amongst us hasn’t fallen prey to this old adage? I myself once dreamed of a world where I would have free access to endless Taco Bell and Mountain Dew Livewire - alas, I had to endure an apocalypse in order to get those wishes. Ah well, it was worth it. But, sadly, the same can’t be said for my good buddy, Ryan. The fool wished on a Zoltar machine at the lo...

Where were you in ‘02? If you were anything like us you were busy trying to decide which eight movies to rent at your local video store while waiting for the store manager to call you back about your job application.

Family is forever. On tonight’s episode we return to Rob Zombie’s Haddonfield where we get a front row seat inside the mind of Michael Myers; a mind filled with white horses, flashbacks, and more David Lynchian imagery than an episode of Twin Peaks.

Evil has a Destiny. If there’s one thing scarier than Michael Myers, it’s the Harvey Weinstein produced era of the Halloween franchise.
