Today in Horror: The 10th Anniversary of the ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Series Finale

May 20, 2013 by Fister Roboto

Damn, geeks have gotten old. It’s been a decade since the life and death series finale that ended with the culmination of season seven. I recorded this show every week on my state of the art Sony VHS player. Feel old again? To this day, there is no geek-themed action/drama show that moves me in the way this one does. Supernatural has tons of heart and soul, and gives me the occasional goosebumps, but Buffy…oh, my dear trope-crushing Buffy Summers. […]

Official ‘The Conjuring’ Poster Keeps it Old School

March 27, 2013 by Fister Roboto

I love a good one-sheet, and the newest teaser for The Conjuring brings some classic horror elements together. The creepy home is blanketed by ghostly woods, a gloomy grey sky, and a noose hanging from a baleful tree. I love the 1970′s retro horror vibe. It’s only missing Christopher Lee. “Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville. Based on a true story, The Conjuring tells the horrifying tale of how world-renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called upon […]
