The Corpus Grimoire part 2 Alysa Saraki stood outside a dark, four story complex that no longer had any living residences. The asylum was originally built in a Kirkbride style, with narrow halls, long wings that spread out like a bat, and high ceilings to allow movement among patients and staff, but when it was remodeled in the 50s, it was flattened out and sterilized … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #42
I love ranking franchises! Even bad franchises. And I think that’s what shocked me the most after my recent watch of the entire Alien franchise: it’s not particularly good! Whereas many of the classic horror franchises I’ve ranked to this point (your Halloweens and your Friday The 13ths and your Child’s Plays, etc) tend to have a roller coaster like experience of highs and lows, … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Alien
The Corpus Grimoire part 1 Prologue It was a little known fact that spirits and demons had vaguely-defined territories on Earth, mostly centered within their own belief systems. This was to prevent war among them. For instance, Hell’s demons often resided in Christian-centered regions of the world, the Jinn usually stayed in Islamic regions, and the Oni usually inhabited the archipelago most modern humans called … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #41
Let’s get this straight out of the way because it really matters to this review and will come up again as I talk about Chain Reactions: I’m far from the world’s biggest fan of the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre. (Now Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, that’s a different story. I kind of love that movie) To be absolutely fair, I’ve only seen the 1974 horror classic … Continue reading Chain Reactions Review
It wasn’t that long ago that I watched Creature From The Black Lagoon for the first time. I was going through the stretch of watching several of the classic Universal Horror features, and after having gotten through some of the bigger name ones (Dracula, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein, etc), I finally made my way to Creature. Honestly, I thought the sea monster tale was one … Continue reading Monster Island Review
Wow, for the first, I dunno, 50-60 minutes this film just makes you feel super awkward and uncomfortable! Lucky McKee sure captured “socially awkward” to an uncomfortable degree. Angela Bettis perfectly plays the titular character. I couldn’t get over how her hand performed throughout the film, as a person with severe anxiety, I can attest to the extreme degree of bending back her fingers are … Continue reading May (2002) (Dir. Lucky McKee) Review
I recently dog-sat for the uncle and aunt while they went to Tahiti for three-plus weeks. It turns out, I’m not much of a dog person. I sure like dogs! Other people’s dogs. As for having one? Well the need to walk them and take them outside is a bit much for me because I am lazy. And they bark. And they are generally big … Continue reading Good Boy Review
It’s time to review another movie coming to Screambox, as we take a look today at the Brazilian horror feature, A Mother’s Embrace, which will be dropping on the service on 9/16/2025! A Mother’s Embrace is directed by Cristian Ponce, and it starts off in the childhood of our protagonist, Ana. She and her mother start off at home–where her mom makes Ana guzzle down … Continue reading A Mother’s Embrace Review
A History Lesson part 5 (finale) Alysa sat on the couch and stared at the TV but wasn’t watching anything in particular. Delroy entered the living room and sighed when he noticed his daughter’s state. “Wanna talk about it?,” he asked as he took a seat. “I never did the research,” Alysa said softly after turning off the television, “I just went off what people … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #40
A History lesson part 3 A joke – I once saw a man standing on a bridge, ready to jump and I told that man, “Don’t kill yourself. Life has meaning.” He said, “ My life doesn’t.” I asked him, “Haven’t you found religion?” He said he had and I said, “Me too. Are you a Christian or are you a follower of Iseda?” He … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #38
A History Lesson part 2 Alysa came down stairs and sat at the kitchen table and was surprised to see that Delroy had set up breakfast for the two of them. It was only a couple bowls of Cheerios and some coffee, but she appreciated her father putting forth the effort. It reminded her of living with her mother. It was nice to have someone … Continue reading AP Production Winghaven #37
It’s rare, but every so often, I get a bug in me to watch the entirety of a franchise I’d never seen before. Last year, it was Mission: Impossible. This year I decided to watch the entire Final Destination series. I blame Amazon Prime, through which we have our HBO Max subscription. I was fishing around for something to watch, and Prime kept throwing FD … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Final Destination

A History Lesson part 1 To the locals, the island was called Ayiti. To the Spanish, it was called Hispaniola. To the French, it was Saint Domingue. To them, it was a memory, a home they last saw while they were loaded on the boat. Queen Obeah Alvit sat in quiet meditation. They normally took the men but as she was a spiritual leader, the … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #36
Not that I’m of the belief that it ever went anywhere, but how nice is it to see that mainstream horror is all the way back with the success that Sinners and now Weapons have had at the box office? Horror is having a wonderful year with the masses in 2025. With Sinners being in my top five movies of the year, I went into … Continue reading Weapons Review
