It's funny to think that I wasn't a fan of Patrick Lussier's until I heard him on The Movie Crypt podcast. I mean, I wasn't NOT a fan of his either, but it was hearing about his career from the man himself that really sold me on the guy. He worked on Doctor Who, he made his directorial debut with Prophecy 3, and he nearly directed Halloween III, the sequel to Rob Zombie's 2007 reboot of the Halloween franchise.

They say never to judge a book by its cover, but what do they say about a performance? My simple, and probably what I thought was clever, review for the anthology classic Creepshow went something like, "Tom Atkins is kind of a dick." Yeah, I'm hilarious.

It has been a good while since someone has caught me off guard, and for it to happen the way it did is absolutely astounding. What Bill is talking about in the opening of our discussion is my online bio. I use it for CineDump, IMDB, Letterboxd... I pretty much use it for everything.

One of my favorite things about this gig is being able to see a movie and talk to the creator soon after. Sometimes the next day. This is especially cool when you get to talk to someone about a movie you liked.

Richard Brake has been on my radar since 2005 when he was in Batman Begins. I can't quite put my finger on why attracted me to his style, but with his proven track record, so apparently, I'm not the only one that took notice. I caught up with Brake a few years back at Texas Frightmare, a horror convention that takes place in Dallas, and at the time we only spoke about Game of Thrones and 31.

I hate to say it but I didn't watch Chainsaw 2 until 2017. I think the issue was that I loved the first one so much that I didn't want the sequel to ruin that for me. Well, it wasn't until Shay, my girlfriend and lover of all things Chop-Top, persuaded me to FINALLY give it a go.

The day was July 16, 2019, and I'm sure it was hot. It was this day that the proverbial carpet was pulled out from underneath me. I had read that one of the freshest franchises in the game, Happy Death Day, was getting a third and final film.
