Trapped in Hell – Final Girl – Hell to Pay Review
There’s something about reviewing these Final Girl feature films kind of out of order that really highlights some things about the various series/seasons. I did all of Series 4 (except the one that hasn’t come out yet) prior to doing most of Series 3… Continue Reading “Trapped in Hell – Final Girl – Hell to Pay Review”
July 2026 Gaming
July is always going to be a bit of a slower month for gaming, mainly because I’m on vacation for a large portion of it. That means no lunchtime games! Though I was able to get a bunch of Final Girl plays in, which… Continue Reading “July 2026 Gaming”
Friday Night Shots – Expansions Revisited
I know I’ve talked about expansions before on Friday Night Shots (both ones you won’t play again and whether or not you even like them to begin with), but a recent post on Boardgame Geek prompted another thought that I wanted to explore.

Corny Terror – Final Girl – A Rotten Harvest Review
I grew up in a state that was full of corn fields, though I never actually experienced running through them in terror, being stalked by some creature of existential dread or anything like that. You know, like Steve King. (Editor: “Only a certain subset… Continue Reading “Corny Terror – Final Girl – A Rotten Harvest Review”
Terror in the Abbey – Final Girl – A Demon in the Shadows Review
Don’t you hate it when you’re just minding your own business, sitting serenely in some kind of religious building, praying and all of that stuff, and then suddenly a demon comes in and possesses you, forcing you to do unspeakable things to all of… Continue Reading “Terror in the Abbey – Final Girl – A Demon in the Shadows Review”
Mama, She’s Craaazy – Final Girl – Madness in the Dark Review
(1,000,000 quatloos to whoever gets the title reference) The Final Girl franchise has been doing a great job of covering different genres of horror movies, even including some that are more science fiction than horror. With the advent of Madness in the Dark, however,… Continue Reading “Mama, She’s Craaazy – Final Girl – Madness in the Dark 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”
