Not only is SCOOBY-DOO ON ZOMBIE ISLAND one of the best SCOOBY-DOO films ever made, it also holds up as a perfectly spooky Halloween classic. It’s one of those childhood favorites that really stuck with me. There are genuine twists and turns, and when rewatching it for this review, I still found myself surprised by certain moments. I grew up loving SCOOBY-DOO; something about the moody art style, the imaginative monsters, and the reliable mystery formula always drew me in.…

“There is a justice higher than man and will be judged by him.” Stephen King is the king of horror. He can weave a chilling story together with threads of malice, violence, and mind games. He is the genius behind messing with audiences’ brains and making all the hairs on our bodies stand up at attention. He lives to share the unexpected and urges viewers to scream with disbelief silently. He is a master storyteller, creating characters that are not…

Is there a better way to get into the Halloween spirit than by kicking back and throwing on the most rewatchable comedy of the last decade? NATHAN FOR YOU may not be known for thrills and chills, but two half-episodes fit the season perfectly: S1E5, HAUNTED HOUSE, and S2E1, REALTOR.

When I was a theatre teacher, I could not wait to direct one of my all-time favorite psychological horror plays that featured an eight-year-old as the killer. The premise was spine-tingling and totally intense to even suspect a sweet child was capable of murdering innocent people of all ages without a thought of remorse. In Rhoda’s mind, they all deserved to die so that she could get her way. She was the ultimate sociopath who would make any serial killer…
