I’ll be honest, when I first heard about Patrick Rea’s ‘Arbor Demon‘ I didn’t expect very much. I wondered how entertaining a film could be that takes place almost entirely in a tent. I finally got to watch ‘Arbor Demon’ and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s filled with tension, drama, and horror, everything a horror film should have. Not only was it an interesting movie, it has a unique plot which goes a long way in my book. I even jumped a few times and that’s pretty rare. ‘Arbor demon’ stars Fiona Dourif as Dana, a women hiding her pregnancy from her husband (Kevin Ryan) because he has made it perfectly clear that he has no desire to have kids. The couple heads off on a camping trip to spend their last days together before he leaves for a six month tour with his band unaware of the horrors they will soon face. After arriving at

The 1984 film ‘The Never Ending Story’, written and directed by Wolfgang Petersen, is a film that I have cherished since I first saw it as a little girl. It was beautiful and amazing in so many ways. Every little girl who saw it imagined, at least once, that they were the Childlike Empress, including me. So, when I had the chance to interview the real Childlike Empress, Tami Stronach, I was overjoyed. Horror Fuel: “Your role as the Childlike Impress is still iconic. How do you feel about the film now?” Ts: “I think that film, surprisingly, holds up pretty well even 30 years later and I don’t think any of us could have anticipated or expected that to any degree. I think it was a particular magical moment where special effects were getting really good and live puppetry was actually getting better and better. Things looked more and more fantastical. It was before CGI took over. It was
