Morality, goodness and the people are expendable. Greed, artifice and accessories are everything. Shocking, culturally impacting and hits very close to home, Mary Harron’s ‘American Psycho’ is a horrific comedy of manners that never flinches from taking off the glove and slapping pretentious, alpha dog driven and ‘me-me-me’ yuppie culture square across the face with … Continue reading

[Bea’s Book Reviews] The War Of The Worlds [by H.G. Wells]
It’s a classic. A true classic for the ages and it’s not going anywhere. Author: H.G. Wells Original publisher: Pearson’s Magazine Published: 1898 Note: Orson Welles (no relation) made quite a stir with his infamous radio dramatization in 1938.

Author: Alex Bledsoe Published: April 28th 2009 Publisher: Tor Books Alex Bledsoe’s Blood Groove page Note: I have absolutely no clue what happened to the video after the introduction.

[Bea’s Reviews] Masterpiece Theatre’s Dracula [2006]
Technically, Masterpiece Theatre’s Dracula (made exclusively to television by BBC in 2006) would have been a miserable failure- it’s too short, it glosses over several important factors and it’s quite an unusual piece to be released by the normally prestigious production company. However, what ultimately saves it (and us) is that it takes a deliberate step to … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] The Babadook [2014]

Bede’s 2014 Halloween Viewing List Round-Up: The Top 5 Best & Worst
Well, Halloween has come and gone once again (well, technically it finished over a week ago). If you remember from my 2014 Halloween Viewing List: Sequels, Prequels and Docos! article that I wrote last month, I said I was going to spend the month of October watching horror sequels/prequels and horror-themed documentaries. Luckily I was able to watch … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula [1931 Spanish version]
Filmed simultaneously with Browning’s production during the nighttime hours, using the same story line, same sets, same schedule and same budget (more or less), George Melford’s Spanish reflection of Tod Browning’s film is a curio in early talkie cinema. Not to say Spanish ‘Dracula’ doesn’t have some nice things to offer because it does, more than … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula [1931]
Funny what time and emotional maturity does to you. When I first viewed Universal’s first of their many Golden Age releases, I honestly didn’t think much of it. Yes, I had heard this was not THE first Dracula adaptation (and neither wasNosferatu for that matter), but it was this film that embued pop culture for … Continue reading

Hey everyone! Welcome to the 17th edition of my Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon series. As you already know last month here on SuperMarcey.com, I said that this edition was going to be a special horror themed one in honour of Halloween this month. I posted up poll with three bad horror movies and I said that whichever one out of those three films … Continue reading
The Triumvirate of Terror
Ever since the dawn of our existence, we humans fear what we don’t understand or in some cases prefer not to understand. The power of giving something or somebody a name comforts us and helps us deal with something that is beyond our control. Our ancestors gave natural occurrences in nature names and faces in … Continue reading
