THE BABADOOK
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jan 11, 2015
If you have read any of my blog posts, you are likely aware of the fact that I have very little interest in modern-day horror films. Most of them are structured around excessive gore or violent action, and they lack the advantage of the classic Gothic setting. Contrary to the belief of some, I don't read more

One of the great things about attending the 2014 October Monster Bash with Josh Kennedy was being able to discuss movies with him.
