Celebrating 6 of the Bloodiest and Most Disgusting ‘Itchy & Scratchy’ Segments from ‘The Simpsons’!

January 29, 2026 Luiz H. C. Animation, Editorials, Itchy & Scratchy, The Simpsons, TV

Animation was never meant to be exclusively targeted towards children; it’s just that kids are naturally attracted to the artifice behind bringing cartoons to life. However, it’s worth remembering that even the most kid-friendly cartoons are still made by grown-ups with adult sensibilities, and that’s why we sometimes see inappropriate (and occasionally even horrific) humor […]

How Greek Myth and Russian Literature Paved the Way for ‘Return to Silent Hill’

January 15, 2026 Luiz H. C. Christophe Gans, Crime and Punishment, Editorials, Konami, Movies, Return to Silent Hill, Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, Video Games

The ancient Greeks may not have had stories about haunted Raggedy Anne dolls or serial killers in hockey masks, but they sure as hell had equally chilling legends about bull-headed monsters and supernatural fates worse than death. After all, humanity has been crafting scary stories since the dawn of time, and the very best of […]

‘The 4: An Illustrated Guide to 4 Apocalypses’ Takes Edutainment to the End of the World [Review]

January 6, 2026 Luiz H. C. Apocalypse, Books, Off Protocol, Reviews, The 4, Zombie

Killing zombies and wearing spiked leather jackets is cool and all, but our collective fascination with the apocalypse has more to do with the wish to be free from the stress of modern life than actually wanting to live in a nightmarish wasteland. After all, the reality of dealing with irradiated water supplies and […]

From Caesar’s Legion to the Great Khans: A Guide to the Factions of ‘Fallout’ Season 2

January 2, 2026 Luiz H. C. Caesar, Editorials, fallout, Macauley Culkin, New Vegas, post-apocalyptic, Prime Video, TV, Video Games

The interactive element inherent to video games means that, unlike most other storytelling mediums, the person experiencing the story is usually the main character. And since videogame writers tend to have more control of the world surrounding our hero than the hero themselves, it makes sense that a long-running franchise like Fallout would focus on […]

Best of 2025: The 6 Funniest Horror Movie Moments of the Year

Executing an effective scare is remarkably similar to telling an effective joke, though the punchline usually ends in screams instead of laughs. This genre overlap is one reason why so many horror filmmakers feel comfortable with adding humor to their movies, as there’s nothing better than a comedic gag to break the tension following a […]

Despite being commonly associated with superhero stories, modern comic books have been promoting some of the most unique voices in all of horror fiction for years now. While part of this trend has to do with the fact that the medium is capable of telling chilling stories without the need for expensive special effects and […]

As temperatures drop and the scenery changes around the northern hemisphere, it’s only natural for folks to take a moment to contemplate the chilly beauty and cozy comforts brought on by Old Man Winter. A slasher villain, on the other hand, might look at this winter wonderland and see icy deathtraps perfect for murdering […]

‘Predator 2’ at 35: The Most Underrated Sequel in the Franchise

November 26, 2025 Luiz H. C. Danny Glover, Editorials, Longform, Movies, Predator 2, Predator: Badlands

Everyone has a different definition of a “perfect movie”, but regardless of your specific criteria for perfection, I think we can all agree that John McTiernan’s Predator is and forever will be a timeless classic. When faced with such a massive success, it’s only natural that Hollywood would want to turn this standalone story into […]

From Counter-Strike to Cry of Fear, some of the most innovative gaming experiences out there have their origins in the video game modding scene. After all, these communities often serve as a training ground for passionate fans-turned-developers, with even beginners being encouraged to flex their creative programming muscles by remixing existing digital playgrounds into completely […]

I spent an embarrassing amount of time during the 2000s just sifting through video game bargain bins in search of hidden gems. That’s why I’m fairly certain that I dealt with more licensed shovelware than your average gamer, as I would usually play through two or three movie tie-ins for every “real” title in my […]

It’s not very difficult for movie monsters to outshine their human co-stars in genre films. After all, it takes good writing and believable performances to make a human character relatable. Even then, all you need is a cool design to make people project all sorts of complex feelings and motivations onto fictional creatures. That’s why […]

Looking Back on Tim Burton’s Spooky Superhero Cartoon ‘The World of Stainboy’

October 24, 2025 Luiz H. C. Animation, Editorials, Stainboy, The World of Stainboy, Tim Burton, TV

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. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Burton’s peculiar style and penchant for […]

The re-popularization of FMV games and choose-your-own adventure movies is one of my favorite trends from the past few years. After all, modern technology has made it much easier for these interactive projects to finally fulfill their promises of placing you inside the narrative without relying on the compressed video files and laughable production budgets […]

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 […]

Looking Back on the Lovecraftian Thrills of ‘The Valdemar Legacy’ and its Sequel

October 13, 2025 Luiz H. C. Editorials, Longform, lovecraft, Movies, Stuart Gordon, The Forbidden Shadow, The Valdemar Legacy

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 […]
