Horror fans have been given a gift. The gift is one horror movie icon, making his dream come true. Aaron W. Bennett’s new short film, Jokers Wild casts the man that should have played this character once before, but never made it look this good. David Howard Thornton’s name is already legendary in the horror genre. Some may disagree, but others wait in line for three hours just for 5 minutes of his time. The delivery of this movie is completely intense.

The very name is a legend beyond a whisper. Stephen King is, of course, the King. Not only have his books made generations squirm, but movies that involved his work are mostly top-tier entertainment for all kinds of reasons, in the end however, it’s the story. The movies were such great PR for people who wanted to see how different the movie was from the book. Most times, the book is ten times creepier.

We all know that dark face in the shadows. They always have just the slightest glare in your tired eyes. Although I am morbid and a horror movie fan to an almost unhealthy fixation. I had seen it all, up until these past few years. New styles are becoming prominent in the genre, even in the indie film scene as we saw with Terrifier 3. I have to admit that even as a child I couldn’t be in complete darkness, I guess it’s a phobia. Movies like Nate Thompson’s short film Hexe are part of the reason why.

Not too many movies stick in and out of my mind as much as The Doom Generation. Sometimes this movie seems like a fever dream, there is just so much stuff going on throughout. The Doom Generation was like a cool little secret amongst teenagers. It especially targeted the goth generation, doing what the lifestyle couldn’t grasp in the 80’s. The 90’s were impeccable timing for a lot of different musical moments. Skate punk and Ska were thriving in the school halls.

Are You Afraid of the Dark? was one of the highlights of my childhood. I can vividly remember the first time I watched this show. It’s molded into my brain as one of the most influential TV shows for my weirdness today. Are You Afraid of the Dark? was like our own little late-night horror movie show. Late night of course being 9:30. I will admit though, through my childhood, I watched a lot worse in the middle of the night with my TV down almost to a whisper.
