The Walking Dead Season 4 Trailer

So we finally get to see the trailer for season 4 of the Walking Dead. It looks pretty good. Though what I see could easily be either a few episodes or the entire season. It's hard to tell since it seems like they are going back and forth between the story lines. Plus we know that the trailers are very tricky and easily fool you.

Watch the trailer below!!

The Shuddering

I wrote a review for this book over at my book review blog, but I wanted to share it here as well. I haven't had much time for anything horror related since I started my final semester of college. Happy to say I finally graduated with my history degree... what am I to do now... no clue, but there are things like paranormal researcher and what not that comes to mind.

Anyway I happen to find this book while looking for a new book to read that was part of Kindle's loaning library through Prime. If you can afford to get Prime it's worth it. So this book showed up and it sounded interesting. It only too me a few days to read it. I was hooked onto it and couldn't put the book down.

The synopsis of the story without giving too much away is a group of friends meet up at a cabin they went to as kids to see each other before one of them moves to Europe and to say goodbye to the cabin because it belongs to someone else. While up there a huge snow storm traps them in. No big deal expect there is something out in the woods that is threatening their lives.

This book is an excellent example of a horror story. Think of some of the best ones and usually the monster isn't your typical vampire, werewolf mutant and ect and 99% of the characters die. This book doesn't tell you want the monsters are, but just describes them. It's done well and you're okay not knowing what exactly the monsters are. There's no need for it and I am so glad the author didn't have one of the characters give us a natural history lesson on the creatures. So the monsters are told well and even the kill scenes are done well and described well as well.

The rest of the book is done well. None of the characters are too much for you nor do you see who's going to die first by the characters. It's a surprise at the end of who makes it and the book ends like most good horror movies do. You have no feeling of safety or happy ending. You're left wondering if it was all over or not. Though I don't know if there will be a follow up book it was left where there is no need for one, but one could be done.

If you are looking for a good horror book to read, grab this one. It won't disappoint.

Curse of Chucky

I know I've been quite, but I'm a busy woman over here. Work has taken over my life as it does every summer and there is just no time to watch a horror movie. That will change hopefully especially with Horror Madness creeping up on us.

So to try to break this horrible silence here's a bit of news and my review of an upcoming movie.

So yes, they made another Chucky movie. Aren't we done with this series? After watching the trailer below you'll see how a waste of money this one is. When it gets release don't see it.


Synopsis: After the events of Child's Play 3, Nica, a young woman forced to a wheelchair since birth, has to regroup her sister, Barb and her brother-in-law, Ian for a funeral after the death of her mother. While dealing with Barb, Ian, along with their 5-year-old daughter, Alice; Nica receives an odd package - a creepy doll. After people start showing up dead, the fearless Nica soon suspects that the creepy doll is much more than just a doll.(taken from IMDB). 



My Opinions: So I didn't hear about this until yesterday when it was on several horror friends of mine's facebooks. After enough people kept asking me about it decided to go ahead and check it out. Well let's just say this, this is one of those franchises that should just stop. No one cares about Chucky or what happen to him. Not sure why they even bothered with this movie. I know it's not going out into theater so it's going straight to DVD so it can end up in the $5 bin at Walmart.

There's nothing about this movie that looks good. And I mean nothing. We all know that a creepy ginger doll showing up mysteriously is asking for all alarm bells to go off.

So you're all just going to have to wait for me to tell you when a good movie is coming out.
