    by Chris van Dijk October 15, 2022
    by Chris van Dijk October 15, 2022

    ‘Halloween Kills’: More of the Night He Came Home…

    by Chris van Dijk October 20, 2021
    by Chris van Dijk October 20, 2021

    To state the obvious, we never needed a sequel to the 1978 original Halloween. The essence of Michael Myers’ frightening presence, the murderous void that guides him and makes him known as The Shape, had…

    A Great Becoming: ‘In the Mouth of Madness‘ and the Perils of Toxic Fandom

    by Michael Heimbaugh March 1, 2020
    by Michael Heimbaugh March 1, 2020

    Much like Cameron Crowe, Francis Ford Coppola, and M. Night Shyamalan, John Carpenter all too frequently falls into the category of the “wayward auteur.” The public sees the horror maestro, in other words, as a…

    ‘They Live’ Still Has Something to Say

    by Veronica Clarke November 13, 2018
    by Veronica Clarke November 13, 2018

    They Live was released in 1988 with John Carpenter using the film to satirize the so-called “Reaganomics” of 80s America. It deals with a drifter who finds sunglasses that show the world is controlled by aliens. They…

    The ‘Halloween’ Franchise: From Worst to Best Part 1

    by Chris van Dijk October 19, 2018
    by Chris van Dijk October 19, 2018
