BOO! TINY HALLOWEEN REVIEWS
Steve’s new Halloween column this month tries to do teeny-tiny reviews of 27 movies. Let us know if he succeeds or falls flat on his face.
Steve’s new Halloween column this month tries to do teeny-tiny reviews of 27 movies. Let us know if he succeeds or falls flat on his face.
This week I review two films, both dealing with arthropods, namely arachnids. (Well, one’s an arachnid, the other appears to be). Both movies include jump scares, and both are pretty darned good, if somewhat predictable. If you like that kind of film, these two are for you!
Up to this season, Steve’s personal opinion has been that it’s okay as a tribute (to Stephen King and the eponymous movie), but rather meh as a show. Steve thinks Greg Nicotero’s show is finally hitting its stride.
A prequel that stands alone. If you enjoyed the original Pet Sematary, you’ll probably like this. A good October/Halloween movie, in my opinion. See what you think!
Many of us loved the old Creepshow movies, but Greg Nicotero did something about it. It’s back, baby!
Steve has been an active fan since the 1970s, when he founded the Palouse Empire Science Fiction Association and the more-or-less late MosCon in Pullman, WA and Moscow, ID, though he started reading SF/F in the early-to-mid 1950s, when he was just a sprat. He moved to Canada in 1985 and quickly became involved with Canadian cons, including ConText (’89 and ’81) and VCON. He’s published a couple of books and a number of short stories, and has collaborated with his two-time Aurora-winning wife Lynne Taylor Fahnestalk on a number of art projects. As of this writing he’s the proofreader for R. Graeme Cameron’s Polar Borealis and Polar Starlight publications. He’s been writing for Amazing Stories off and on since the early 1980s. His column can be found on Amazing Stories most Fridays.
