Friday the 13th Part III – Those Who Died With Dirty Asses
I could never be a real storyteller. As I’m sure anyone who has ever listened to me ramble (or even read it here) knows, I’m too wordy. I can never disseminate what’s essential and what can be left out. I … Continue reading
Halloween IV – The Blond Mask
While pointing out continuity errors can be amusing, I don’t want to see this collection devolve into pointing out errant boom mics or awkward jump cuts. I love to nitpick as much as the next guy, but not all bloopers … Continue reading
Friday the 13th Part 2 – Moonlight Swim
There are a few milestones in life that most people never forget – graduations, weddings, births, and even first kisses. I’ve gone through all of those (yeah, that’s right – I kissed a girl!). There’s another milestone that most of … Continue reading

Growing up, I always considered myself the expert on the genre. Looking back, it seems that it was probably more by default than anything else. I didn’t meet anyone else who liked horror more than casually until high school. There … Continue reading
Friday the 13th Part VI – Jason’s Motive
I’m always wary when a sequel takes it as its mission to explain away any sense of mystery that is prevalent in a movie. The part of Halloween that completely strikes a nerve with me is that Michael stalks Laurie … Continue reading
Friday the 13th Part IV – Love is a Lie
It’s almost impossible to talk with someone about Friday the 13th Part IV for more than five minutes without discussing Crispin Glover’s spastic dance scene. There’s a good reason for that too. It’s one of the most memorable scenes in … Continue reading
