All posts in the 'The Evening Write' categoryIs THE STRANGERS the Most Effective Horror Movie Since BLAIR WITCH?It wasn’t until this past Saturday that I fully realized just how strong of a film THE STRANGERS (review) is. Seeing it in theaters elicited seat stirring and all manner of other audible audience discomfort, but seeing it in a home theater was an entirely different experience. Post-millennial is the age of H.P. Lovecraft.Maybe, maybe not talks of a theatrical RE-ANIMATOR remake in 3D. A doomed proposal for a teencentric HERBERT WEST television series. The release of CTHULHU as an impressive black and white short and a less impressive Tori Spelling starrer on DVD. Countless other ambitious amateur adaptations.

The Evening Write: I Love Horror (dot net)Brad McHargue’s site ILoveHorror.net is the best horror blog you’re not reading. I came across it not too long ago, trawled through the archives and promptly nominated it to the League of Tana Tea Drinkers. It was of no surprise to me to see it receive a unanimous induction into the LOTTD. I should have [...] The Evening Write: VINYAN, Fangoria, RE5 and Moon Eating Planets.I’m thriftly acquiring a page from Drew McWeeny (he’ll always be Moriarty to me) and his Daily Read.
