Buddy (2026) Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Did you know that there’s another Buddy movie out there? I had no idea until I typed it into google images.Anyway.This is my review of Casper Kelly’s Buddy, which is a horror movie more based on Barney the purple dinosaur than it is on Five Nights at Freddy’s. I go over what the movie was about and how they went about shooting the film so as not to scar the kids for life.
Return of the Living Dead Part 2 Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been trying to swear less in my podcast, but wow. This one brought it out of me anyway. It sucks SOOOOO bad its unreal. I love zombies, I love horror movies, I love Return of the Living Dead—but I hate this stupid, tone-less, pointless movie. I thought I hated Titanic, The Notebook and Regression, but no.

Studios saw shot-for-shot remakes as a good way to test directors, often giving them these shot-for-shots instead of ori
Books that help kids identify unsafe adults (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That’s the goal now.Although I enjoy writing what I want, when I want, for who I want—namely, horror for adults—this idea came to me and I felt I couldn’t NOT do something about it. Not because I think its extremely marketable, but because I think its extremely needed and would save a lot of parents and kids a lot of hurt.This Substack is reader-supported.
