Who are some of your favorite visual, literary or performance artists? I guess some of my favorite literary artists would be those that have inspired my writing. Most of my

It was an oddly warm Black Friday here in Grand Rapids with temps almost reaching 60 degrees. The Pyramid Scheme was the setting for a night of Hip Hop as

This movie comes from the producer of the cult classic film “The Deadly Spawn” (which I will also be reviewing momentarily). If you like gore, it’s got it. If you like creepy creatures, it’s got it. If you like horrifying death scenes, it’s got it. If you are a fan of B horror flicks and cult classics then you will find something to like about “Hell On Earth.” Think

Someone stands in the shadows, and with the penguin this shadowy figure drags the hunter back to a lab. The puppet in the shadows happens to be a mad scientist who places a parasite in the hunters beer belly. The monster

This movie is definitely not a cinematic masterpiece. The opening scene is a woman beating someone to death with a hammer (reminded me of an incident I had with a mouse on a glue trap once). Gruesome opening scene leading into some fairly gruesome acting. Not sure which was scarier, the movie itself or the crappy acting. House of the Damned is filmed in black & white. It not
