Every horror fan has something in common other than their taste in entertainment, they all love adding to their collection. One of the best ways to do that is with the Horror Pack subscription box. I walked out on my porch Friday to find a box sitting in my rocking chair. I knew it had to be the February Horror Pack box, thanks to tracking updates emailed regularly. I got so excited as I opened it, it felt a bit like Christmas morning. The four Blu-rays were wrapped up nice and tight in their factory packages. The movies in the February box includes Drag Me to Hell: The Director’s Cut, one of the best films from Sam Raimi since Evil Dead; there is 2018’s Elizabeth Harvest, a creepy AF flick; The Darkness starring Kevin Bacon was also included along with the Horror Pack Exclusive indie horror Click Bait.

Eric Liberacki‘s The Lurker, influenced by the Golden era of horror films, slashes its way onto DVD and Digital this April, from Indican Pictures. Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween, 2007), Naomi Grossman (“American Horror Story”), Ari Lehman (Friday the 13th, 1980) and Adam Huss star in the film that follows several high-schoolers as they prepare a local play. A killer lurks in the shadows and the cast is in danger. With the play set to see its final curtain call, these schoolmates will need to band together, if they hope to survive this killer’s knife. Director Liberacki has talked about the film’s influences and what led him to direct The Lurker.

One of my past articles that seemed to have received a lot of love (Thanks guys!) has now made me look like a fool as it did with many other news outlets that reported it. As it turns out my article about 38% of Americans won’t be drinking Corona Beer due to the fear of Coronavirus, was an elaborate hoax…and I fell for it. Normally I would be kicking myself in the head for falling for something like this but I’m thankful to know the fact that other major news outlets and respectable journalists have fallen for it as well. So it’s my responsibility to give the facts and to correct my mistake. So what happened? In February the news spread far a wide like the Coronavirus itself after what appeared to be a coordinated effort by 5W Public Relations, and PR Newswire who withheld information pertaining to the questions asked on the survey and how they were asked, when
