The Toxic Avenger: Still Avenging Vengence!

Alright, strap in. We’re diving headfirst into radioactive sludge and corporate malpractice, and I’m bringing floaties made of pure charisma.

Let’s talk about The Toxic Avenger—the 2023 mutation of The Toxic Avenger, now reborn under the slightly unhinged guidance of Macon Blair. Back in ’84, Lloyd Kaufman gave us a mop-wielding monstrosity who looked like he crawled out of a nuclear septic tank and immediately chose violence. It was cheap, it was gross, it was punk rock cinema shot through a slime filter. It also had all the subtlety of a brick through a windshield. And I loved it.

A TV Crushed His Head, But Not His Spirit: The Case for Stu Macher’s Return

For almost thirty years, Scream hasn’t just survived — it has adapted. What began in Scream as a razor-sharp genre autopsy evolved into franchise commentary, sequel satire, reboot critique, and eventually the modern “requel” blueprint. Every era of horror has been filtered through Ghostface’s mask. Now, with Scream 7 on the horizon, one question refuses to die:

What if Stu Macher never did?

The idea isn’t fringe anymore. It’s persistent. And more importantly — it makes sense.

Scream 7: How the Franchise Might Change Horror—Forever… Again

The year was nineteen hundred and ninety-six. Month: December. Day: 20th. I was fourteen years old, and I was about to witness a film that would change horror forever. But first—I had to ditch school.

"Halloween III: The Misunderstood Anthology Experiment

Halloween III didn’t faceplant in 1982 because it was a bad movie. It got curb-stomped because the title promised Michael Myers and then ghosted him like a flaky ex. Audiences walked in expecting The Shape doing his annual knife-and-cardio routine, and instead got a stand-alone fever dream about evil Irish capitalism, television brainwashing, and Halloween masks that basically function as tiny portable death clauses.

Critters 2: The Main Course (1988): A Second Helping Of The First

Sequels are proof that humankind never learns from trauma. And yet, when the trauma involves demonic hamster-balls from outer space, who can resist a second helping? Critters 2 isn’t a movie; it’s a bar fight between imagination and self-control—directed by Mick Garris, a man who looked at the term “horror-comedy” and thought it meant “set everything on fire.”

Blank Man: A Film About Heart, Justice, And Silly-Billy-Gumdrops!

In the summer of 1994, while America was still humming along to Boyz II Men and arguing about the O.J. Simpson chase, Damon Wayans stepped onto movie screens dressed in long underwear, goggles, and an old bathrobe. His character, Darryl Walker, was not handsome or slick. He was shy, brilliant, socially awkward—a man who tinkered with gadgets the way other people pray. And when his grandmother was murdered by a street gang, he did something audacious. He didn’t pick up a gun. He picked up a soldering iron.
