Red Tash and Jack Wallen battle it out on the topic of Horror. Let’s drop the gauntlets of doom and see who comes up breathing.
Email PostWhat genres do you like and why?
Apr 25th
As a writer of horror (and other sundries) I am always asked why I write a genre that will forever take a back seat to most other genres. The answer to that one question is simple — because it’s my passion. But that question actually begs of numerous, multi-layered questions. I thought, what better place to ask these questions than here, where blood, gore, and fabulous spills from fountains made of bone and satin.
Endgame is now on sale!
Apr 23rd
A game of death. A battle for life.

Within my collection of dark delights, there are items that I treasure far and away above all else.
There are also items that I have had to go to great lengths to acquire. This particular missive I bring to you today is one such item. For not only does this letter hold incredible financial value, it also has a very special place in my heart.
Review: The Cabin in the Woods
Apr 20th
It’s a rare occasion that a horror film is called “the best film of the year”. But in the case of The Cabin in the Woods, it’s something fans of The Hunger Games just might have to deal with. This film is that good. But this might be one of the hardest reviews I’ve ever written. Why? Simple — to give away any detail of this movie could easily ruin the experience for movie goers. With that said, let’s see what I can do to woo you over to drop your hard-earned coin to see this talkie from Hollydoom.
Killer Missives: Albert Fish
Apr 18th
Disclaimer: These letters are fiction. They are meant for entertainment purposes and are only loosely based on real killers.
Piety at the hand of a twisted, merciless killer is something everyone should witness. Either first hand, or vicariously through, say, a letter – the proclamation of divinity from the mouths of the insane, is a train wreck all must heed.

Happy Friday the 13th!
Apr 13th
To some this day is one of pure dread and horror. Yet others think it just a day filled with bad luck waiting to rain down from bleak skies. Still, others find it a day of celebration — a day just shy of Halloween in order of evil magnitude.
But where did this myth come from? Why is Friday the 13th so unlucky? Was it the birthday of Satan? Did some atrocity occur on this day to lend it some hateful credence? You’ll be surprised by the answer.
Most Evilest Books Ever Written… for film
Apr 11th
Forget the Satanic Bible by Anton Lavey — I’m talkin’ pure, nasty, ugly evil. This is the kind of evil that makes demons and other vile nasties appear out of nowhere, the kind that turns mortal men and women into banshees, vampires, and soul-sucking thingies. Dare you gaze upon the books I mention here? Dare you utter the phrase “klaatu barada nikto” and gaze inside the wonders of the damned?
Let’s see just how brave you are.
