Kingtober: A Return to Salem's Lot (1987) 07.10.2025

You ever wake up and just feel oh, so very very vestigial? Or maybe you fret over Elijah Wood stealing your energy? I do…and it tears me up inside. 31 Days of Horror: Day 5 https://www.nickkarner.com/blog  

Kingtober: Cat's Eye (1985) 04.10.2025

Special and ridiculous in its own unique way, Cat's Eye is quick, painless, and like a cozy kitteh settling on your chest to take a long snooze. 31 Days of Horror: Day 4 https://www.nickkarner.com/blog  

Kingtober: The Boogeyman (2023) 03.10.2025

Kingtober: Maximum Overdrive (1986) 01.10.2025

Max O. is like the dented hubcap of a non-possessed Plymouth Fury. Chrome-plated and jaggedly askew. 31 Days of Horror: Day 1 https://www.nickkarner.com/blog  

Tales from the Crypt Rankings #65: Mournin' Mess 23.09.2025

Total prequel to Ghost. Schiavelli's playing the exact same character and why he didn't enlist Swayze to help him reap vengeance upon that ghoulish cabal of creatures is a blown opportunity if there ever was one. Oh, you need to say goodb ye to Demi Moore? How 'bout fucking with some literal monsters?    S03E10  

Tales from the Crypt Rankings #66: The Thing from The Grave 30.08.2025

I kinda needed some more backstory on what the hell product that lunkhead pretty boy was hocking. It's in a can, Teri's sporting a harpoon, and it's huge in Japan. ...are we talkin ' Dolphin Cola here? Tuna Sprite? Mountain Dolphin Dew?  S02E06

Tales from the Crypt Rankings #67: The Reluctant Vampire 29.07.2025

Oh, Malcolm's a connoisseur, you can tell. A twist of lime always goes best with a bloody cocktail. Squeeze of lemon? Don't make me chortle. S03E07

Tales from the Crypt Rankings #68: Curiosity Killed 24.06.2025

McCarthy chanting 'ghoulie ghoulie ghoulie' instantly transported me to that time he had to contend with those rambunctious spirits of dark mirth in Ghoulies Go To   College . Damn Chug-a-Lug House.  S04E14

Tales from the Crypt Rankings #69: Came the Dawn 30.05.2025

You wouldn't catch me buying oysters from Michael J. Pollard. I don't care how horny I get! S05E10

Tales from the Crypt Rankings #70: Showdown 24.04.2025

Alright ya buncha cattle rustlin ' cowpokes! Time ta peddle yer potions cause it's backdoor pilot time! S04E08

Tales from the Crypt Rankings #71: Top Billing 31.03.2025

John Astin might not be very (snap snap) creepy, but he's definitely (snap snap) kooky.  S03E05

Tales from the Crypt Rankings #72: Revenge is the Nuts 28.02.2025

I'm sure Anthony Zerbe dreamed of one day becoming a dashing matinee idol, but with a malevolent visage like that, he appears to have been bred in a secret laboratory to make his onscreen partner's lives miserable. S06E05

Tales from the Crypt Rankings #73: For Cryin' Out Loud 30.01.2025

If Sound of Metal starred an asshole... S02E08

Tales from the Crypt Rankings #74: Mute Witness to Murder 27.11.2024

John-Boy! How could you??? S02E15

HalloweeNoire: J.D.'s Revenge (1976) 01.11.2024

31 Days of Horror: Halloween Revenge is so very, very sweet, especially if you're the restless soul of a swaggering, razor blade wieldin', tough as nails 1940s hustler with a golden tongue and a diamond dick (allegedly). https://www.nickkarner.com/blog  

HalloweeNoire: Tales From The Hood (1995) 30.10.2024

31 Days of Horror: Day 30 So, how'd you like getting bent and twisted like a gotdamn multi-tool, David Alan Grier? (BIG SNAPS) HATED IT! https://www.nickkarner.com/blog  

HalloweeNoire: Candyman: Day Of The Dead (1999) 29.10.2024

31 Days of Horror: Day 29 Now that we've seen his work, it's clear based on his paintings that Daniel Robitaille was a pioneer in the field of Glamour Shots. https://www.nickkarner.com/blog  

HalloweeNoire: Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995) 28.10.2024

31 Days of Horror: Day 28 I imagine Candyman sitting in traffic, sweating and stewing under that heavy coat while listening to The Kingfish implore him to "chill" and "have some gumbo," just aching to find the nearest pay phone, frantically dial with his good hand, and proclaim across the airwaves: YOU ARE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!!! https://www.nickkarner.com/blog  

HalloweeNoire: Candyman (1992) 27.10.2024

31 Days of Horror: Day 27 Of all the toughs Bernard Rose could've picked, he went with Ted Raimi. I guess being from across the pond, the motorcycle riding, leather jacket-wearing bad boys he's used to are of the shrimpy variety. https://www.nickkarner.com/blog  

HalloweeNoire: Def by Temptation (1990) 26.10.2024

31 Days of Horror: Day 26 "She's bad news. I ain't no punk or nothin', I'm 100% man, but hey. That bitch scares the shit outta me." https://www.nickkarner.com/blog
