Whether the film makes you cry out in fear or burst out in laughter, the creepy, corny cult classic Phantasm is must-see horror flick for any Mopar® fan. Rudy Munis, a creature feature connoisseur, grew up watching these 1970s made-for-drive-in specials and found himself enamored with the star of the Phantasm film, this triple black 440-6 barrel 1971 Plymouth ’Cuda!

Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes is a horror novel that takes place in a science fiction setting. This novel reminded heavily of the science fiction film starring Lawerence Fishburn and Sam Neil called Event Horizon. Both stories have space ghost, a character just wanting to see a loved one who was separated, and eye gouging. This novel had all that I could want, but it took me a really long time to connect with these characters. I started really enjoying myself 50% in. The pace drastically picks up and the novel gets good. There’s a couple of good twists that I did not see coming. The ending is full of action and some clever twists. The beginning really made me work it, I don’t think it was ever in the do not finish category, but it was so hard to connect to any of the side characters, and Claire the main character took a while to connect as well. The highlight of this book is the madness and the horror that comes with it, it made me look around my dark room once or twice and felt my chest pounding.
