Violent Conventions – Final Girl – Shriek Review
One of the cool things about how the whole Final Girl franchise (from Van Ryder Games) has come about is that each group of feature films is tied into a series, with the occasional vignette or special feature. That appears to be coming to… Continue Reading “Violent Conventions – Final Girl – Shriek Review”
So Many Birds! – Final Girl – Terror From Above Review
I’ve never seen the classic Hitchcock thriller, The Birds, but I’m very familiar with the trope! Some birds are just creepy. They sit and watch you. Crows can recognize you, which can be good or bad depending on whether you’re a good person or… Continue Reading “So Many Birds! – Final Girl – Terror From Above Review”
Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#20-11)
It’s time once again for another decade in my Top 50 games played of all time. It’s been a thrilling ride for me, because I really enjoy sharing the games I love and seeing if anybody agrees with me, or if I’m out on… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#20-11)”
They’re Heeere – Final Girl – The Haunting of Creech Manor Review
One of my very first horror movies, when I was just a teenager and not watching these R-rated slasher flicks, was the PG-rated Poltergeist. I watched it on a sleepover with some friends, and yeah, it was pretty spooky and scary for me. So… Continue Reading “They’re Heeere – Final Girl – The Haunting of Creech Manor Review”
Horrifying Christmas – Final Girl – North Pole Nightmare Review
Just in time to miss Christmas by a few days, how about checking out a Christmas-themed Final Girl feature film with all the bells and whistles of cheer and good tidings to you! Oh, and some evil monster wanting to kill everybody (including you)… Continue Reading “Horrifying Christmas – Final Girl – North Pole Nightmare Review”
Dying on Strings – Final Girl – Carnage at the Carnival Review
As a kid, I was never really that fond of puppets. It’s not that they creeped me out, necessarily. They weren’t like clowns. I just never really went to puppet shows to be entertained, and Pinocchio was not one of my favourite Disney cartoons.… Continue Reading “Dying on Strings – Final Girl – Carnage at the Carnival Review”
He Comes For You in Your Nightmares – Final Girl – Frightmare on Maple Lane Review
Nightmare on Elm Street was one of the few horror movies I could really stomach as a teenager (I’m not really a fan of horror movies, especially with jump scares and the like). There was just something about Freddy Krueger that was cool, plus… Continue Reading “He Comes For You in Your Nightmares – Final Girl – Frightmare on Maple Lane Review”
It Could Be Anyone! – Final Girl – Panic at Station 2891 Review
Anybody with any horror movie knowledge has heard of The Thing, directed by John Carpenter. This 1982 movie takes place on an Antarctic base with some kind of organism or creature inhabiting people and slowly assimilating all of the members of the scientific team… Continue Reading “It Could Be Anyone! – Final Girl – Panic at Station 2891 Review”
New to Me – June 2025
Ah, June. Halfway through the year (at the end of it anyway) and it’s good to take stock of where I am in my boardgaming. I’ve played more than half again the number of unique games as I did last year, meaning I (hopefully)… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2025”
He Just Keeps Coming – Final Girl (and Happy Trail Horrors) Review
I’ve never been a fan of horror films. They’re inherently silly and, yes, kinda scary at the same time. I’m not big on feeling fear at the movies and jump scares just annoy me (and startle me, yes). For some reason, though, horror tropes… Continue Reading “He Just Keeps Coming – Final Girl (and Happy Trail Horrors) Review”
