Warning! If you have not seen the mid-season premiere you might want to stop reading NOW. The second half of season 7 of ‘The Walking Dead’ premiered last night. And a lot happened in the episode. Both King Ezekiel and Gregory denied Rick his request for help to take down Negan and the Saviors. Luckily, a few residents did join the cause. The group left Daryl behind with hopes that he can convince King Ezekiel to change his mind while at the same time keeping Daryl safe from Negan and the Saviors. Rick and Michonne cut down hundreds of walkers at once with a cable suspended between two moving cars which was pretty damn cool. They also picked up some dynamite which will come in handy. In the episode we saw Father Gabriel clean out the food reserves, and weapons and drove off into the night. Rick refused to believe that Gabriel would do that, but others have their doubts.

Hello my Little Monsters, and thank you for joining me once again. As you may well know, it’s Women in Horror Month. And while it’s great that women heave a month during which we celebrate their substantial contribution to the horror genre, I truly believe that they should always be celebrated. So going forward on Wednesdays I will throw a spotlight on one of our wonderful women of horror. Today I’m going to start with my first ever TRUE crush – Dee Wallace (swoons). For me the spring of 1982 was when I first became aware of Ms. Wallace. Granted the summer of this year would also be when she unknowingly harbored a alien being in her home in a little movie called E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. And even though this is when I first started crushing on her, it wasn’t the movie I first had seen her in. Actually, I was in second grade, and during spring break while watching

It’s been nine years since “Dollface”, “Pin-Up Girl”and the “Man in the Mask” set upon and terrorized a young couple in their secluded vacation home in Brian Bertino’s 2008 film, The Strangers. Now the trio are coming out of hiding, if they were in fact really hiding, to wreak similar havoc upon a family of four in a whole new venue. Bertino is back to write the script for The Strangers 2, and will be joined in this endeavor by The Forest screenwriter, Ben Ketai. However, this time around it will be The Other Side of the Door director, Johannes Roberts, sitting in the director’s chair as the gruesome threesome commit their malevolent acts. As of right now, the US based production of the film is preparing for cameras to roll sometime this summer. When the dust had settled at the end of the last film, “Pin-up Girl” remarked to “Dollface”, “It’ll be easier next time”. Well, I guess once

Grazer, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Wyatt Oleff, Sophia Lillis and Finn Wolfhard in character as the Losers clan (fans of the Stephen King adaption and novel would know I’m referring to the Loser Club, a club formed by the characters as a way of joining together all misfits).
