Spoon Fed Horror
Expect more from your entertainment. Don’t be spoon fed. Whether film, literature, music, even video gaming…refuse to be dumbed down. As I move over the half way point in post production for “Death House” I’ve had time to reflect on the film and wonder how it will be received. The latest news on yet another “Friday the 13th” installment is it will be an origins story. I guess my question is…was there ever that much there in the first place to warrant an origin backstory? Doesn’t it defeat the point of making a simple slasher film to entertain, scare and titillate? Do we really need an origins story whether on Pamela Vorhees or Jason or how Camp Crystal Lake was founded? The Millennial Generation and after are said to be too literal. They need everything spelled out for them. They have all the information they need on their phones. Why think? Why extrapolate? Hell, why even dream? School is taught

SCREAM’: Psycho RECAP: Is Audry The Killer Or Fall Girl?
It already been one week since Scream premiered. Can you believe it? So episode 2 was pretty much slow paced. Not much of the killer’s appearance, but more red-haring action for Audry Jenson aka bi-curious, and Emma’s recovery. Last episode Emma broke into Troy James’ [Emma’s stepsister’s father’s brother] barn and then into his house, only to find newspaper clippings from the Lakewood massacre hung creepily on the walls. As Emma was snooping further into the home she’s met by somebody or something in the doorway, which leads her to SCREAM. Now in episode 2, that entire..whatever, didn’t even seem to have happened. It wasn’t even mentioned, it was as if it never happened! On a different note, this season seemingly mirrors I Know What You Did Last Summer, right down to the hallucinations. Which isn’t really a bad thing, Scream 3′ did the same thing sort of. [ahem] Remember Sidney Prescott’s nap on the couch in her ranch in
