Halloween

Blog by Rick0 comments

I love Halloween not for the fact that I get to dress up and watch horror films. I love Halloween for the fact that this is the time of year that allows everyone else to celebrate the same things that I celebrate year-round.   What I’m saying is that Halloween is […]

The Thing

Blog by Rick0 comments

John Carpenter’s The Thing is terrifying for a lot of reasons. Besides the awesome practical effects and horrific creature design, the film centers on an alien entity that basically can assimilate any creature and take its form. It’s the ultimate predatory shapeshifter.  And ignoring the fact that it eats people, […]

Store Bought Costumes

Blog by Rick0 comments

As a kid, I only had handmade costumes, as I couldn’t afford to go pick out something from the local pop-up Halloween store, or Toys ‘R Us (RIP). While I deeply love my care bear costume my grandmother once sewed me, as I grew older I remember always being a […]

Haunted Houses

Blog by Rick0 comments

Haunted houses are usually explained as some strong emotion tying the ghosts to the location. Perhaps it’s revenge for their death, the extreme desire to finish work left behind, or the love of someplace that was meaningful to them.  These intense emotions don’t always wait until we’re dead to tie […]

Frankenstein – Part II

Blog by Rick0 comments

Often, people mistakenly refer to the reanimated corpse as Frankenstein, where the title of the book actually refers to the creator – Dr. Victor Frankenstein. In this way, modern society has sort of associated the creation known as The Monster with its creator. In the story, The Monster wreaks havoc […]

Frankenstein – Part I

Blog by Rick0 comments

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is about an ambitious and talented doctor that manages to reanimate a corpse into a living, thinking, feeling creature. What happens is that this poor creature is so hideous that he terrifies his creator, himself, and everyone he meets.  Cast out into the wilderness alone, he’s constantly […]

Candied Apples

Blog by Rick0 comments

The history books tell us both caramel and candied apples were made as experiments to figure out what to do to turn a profit from holiday candy.  They were simply messing around, tried something out, and ended up creating a hit. Making an already sweet fruit even sweeter isn’t something […]

Cryptids

Blog by Rick0 comments

For those unfamiliar, cryptids are the creatures that are most likely hoaxes or misunderstandings, but some people still believe to exist. Some of the most famous cryptids are Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and the goat-sucking beasts known as chupacabras. I think a world where there are still unexplainable creatures […]

The Terminator

Blog by Rick0 comments

I’ll be honest in that I haven’t watched any of the Terminator films after the third installation. Terminator 2 will always have a place in my heart not only for the thumbs up at the end, but also because it was the first R-rated film I saw.   The non-gorey part […]

Part of Our Brains are Zombie Brains

Blog by Rick0 comments

The walking undead, especially the more recent versions that can run and climb things, can be pretty terrifying. The idea that these monsters have risen from the grave – defied something that is supposed to be universally law – is unsettling, at the very least.   I wonder how often our […]
