I spent an embarrassing amount of time during the 2000s just sifting through video game bargain bins in search of hidden gems.

Though he’s best known for introducing goth aesthetics to suburbia (as well as making mainstream audiences take Batman seriously again), Tim Burton got his start in the industry as an apprentice animator recruited by Disney right out of CalArts.

The normalization of hate-watching and the ironic consumption of media has done untold damage to my generation’s relationship with film. While getting a few friends together and riffing on old Gamera movies isn’t inherently bad, terms like “guilty pleasure” and “so bad it’s good” have made some folks forget that movies don’t have to […]

H.P. Lovecraft adaptations certainly aren’t rare, but despite a number of relatively faithful and sometimes even terrifying retellings, these movies seldom manage to replicate Lovecraft’s unique style. After all, the Rhode Island author infused his work with a peculiar blend of horrific excess and existentialist philosophy, so it makes sense that even masters of the […]

Despite the extraterrestrial associations often encouraged by paranormal enthusiasts, the term UFO – as well as its modern-day equivalent “UAP” – in no way implies the involvement of alien beings in these phenomena. In fact, the scientific study of these incidents is only hindered by idle speculation surrounding little green men and their intentions. […]

While he’s mostly known for 2001’s quirky rom-com Amélie, French Filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet actually began his career by telling darker stories that felt like they were ripped straight out of childhood nightmares and dreamscapes.

The desire to blend reality and fiction in film predates the Found Footage genre by literal decades, with classics like The Legend of Boggy Creek and even the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre dipping their toes into documentary-inspired filmmaking long before in-universe-cameras became popular.

For a symbol that’s often regarded as the true mascot of the Halloween season, it’s strange that pumpkins aren’t the focus of more horror movies – especially when you consider the spooky folklore surrounding jack ‘o lanterns.
