In addition to the usual reviews and comments you would find on a horror movie blog, this is also a document of the wonderfully vast horror movie section of the video store I worked at in my youth.

Hamilton Trivia Massacre!

As crazy as it might seem, I spent my Wednesday off from trivia to... go to another trivia event. There was a 70's horror trivia event happening in Hamilton that I simply couldn't pass up. Plus, it gave me a chance to catch up with an old friend and former Hexploitation organizer Aaron Allen.

We crushed it and won this delicious cookie cake made in house.


I want to thank Coop and The Hearty Hooligan for putting on such a terrific event, which included 70s horror-themed burlesque-style performances before each of the three rounds, as well as an audio quiz component. Great stuff! Would definitely return to defend our title.

Happy October!

Good morning kiddies! I just wanted to pop in and say hello! I know this place of late has just seemed like a dumping ground for my trivia events, but holy hell has it been a busy time for me the last several months.

It seems really surreal to me that I had time to post about a movie almost every day in October last year. Now, between all the trivia events, film festival obligations and movie screenings, I barely even have enough time to shit. Good problem to have of course, but you know... I always feel a certain pull toward keeping THS alive.

I do intend to pick up VHS Fridays & The Movie Guide posts again, but just waiting for a lull, which I hope will arrive once the snow falls. Anyway, enjoy your spooky season!
