Now Watching: Sleepy Hollow (FOX)


Talk about a show I really wanted to like. I can't take the hint of campy FOX writing added to a retelling of an Ichabod Crane tale. That, along with seeing the Headless Horsemen with a sub machine gun just felt wrong.  But it is the beginning of fall and it just seems right to watch. At least the locations are beautiful to look at. My friends have hope so I'll ride this one out just a little longer.




I guess this was the "Asian cop" roll John Cho was auditioning for some years back. lol

"Dr. Jekyll? That's odd. He told me his name was Mr. Hyde"


Just finished another monstrous painting. I worked on this piece after my late nights at Universal getting Halloween Horror Nights 23 ready for the public. After watching the Rankin Bass classic 'Mad Monster Party' one night, I was bit by the Jekyll and Mr. Hyde bug and started marathoning all the crazed characters film appearances. This concept was taken right from the "Monster Party" itself.

                                     Did I mention it also glows in the dark?

Now Playing: Bloody Homecoming

Yup, It's just as bad as it sounds. Everything from the typical writing trope to the lack luster acting. "

Three years after a tragic accident leaves a student dead at the annual Homecoming dance, a group of senior friends anxious about the return of Homecoming Night to their sleepy Southern town find themselves visited by a deadly presence from their past in the dark and desolate halls of their very own high school."

It's almost a lesser version of My Bloody Valentine. I couldn't help but notice little things like sound and lighting issues, but I don't want to bore you all with minimal details. There are no clues leading into the twist, but there are a ton of obvious lead on's that nowhere to throw off the viewer.If you do get a chance to watch this disaster, pay attention to how long the "pouring gasoline" scene is, also watch the woman pouring the gasoline's face. It's pretty damn amusing.

Opening the horrifying box (HHN23)



So I picked the lock....

Now Watching: Don't worry, You're AMONG FRIENDS



And now to see if Danielle Harris can direct. What's with the "dinner table" trend in horror right now? Is it because it's cheap to film? I feel like it's a tired medium these days. The ending to this was pretty cheap also, but I enjoyed the 'actress bit.' I'd rather be watching 'Would you Rather' staring Jeffrey Combs though.

A mysterious box awaits me at my doorstep


As some of you may already know, I run a podcast for a small site called Bloody-Disgusting.com. I will be at Universals Halloween Horror Nights 23 press event this Friday night. When I awoke this morning I found this on my doorstep.

Find me that person who says Christmas is better than Halloween! This is truly the most wonderful time of the year!
