Why’d it have to be snakes! I first presented this slithery post in 2019. Bestselling horror novelist Malcolm Page is on his way to Snake Island—which is also the title of this 2002 creature feature—to gather material for his next book. The other tourists and crew on...

This film could’ve been called “Romancing the Ghost.” I first presented the post in 2019. The 2006 mystery/ghost story, Half Light, starring Demi Moore, somehow got past me all these years. Well, better late than never. Here is a brief introduction, with absolutely no...

Writers can definitely relate to what goes through this “character’s” head. I first presented this post in 2018. Harold Crick is an IRS agent who leads a boring life. Harold is also—not by choice—a character in a book, and that character is slated to die at story’s...
