    Horror 2022!

    January 6, 2023 / No Comments

    Well, it’s a new year, and that means it’s time for me to release my 20 Favorite Horror Movies of 2022. That’s right, twenty! I usually only do my top ten, but this year was so strong, I decided I needed to double the number. If you’ve been listening to the Cinescare Horror Podcast, which you totally should, you’ll know just how incredible a year this was for horror movies. Check out our 2022 Top 10 episode HERE, available January 6th, to hear favorites from Joe, Marc, and Jimmy-o. The other hosts and I each give our ten favorite horror movies of the year. It’s a terrific episode with some…

    5 French Extreme Films to See…if You Dare!

    April 23, 2022 / No Comments

    Recently, on Cinescare Horror Podcast, we reviewed the horror genre known as French Extreme. If you are interested in these films, check out our episode at the Cinescare website. New French Extreme, New French Extremity, French Extreme–whatever you want to call it–is one of the most vibrant and controversial subgenres in all of horror. Its name alone promises revolutionary art house narrative, combined with visceral violence, and something unsettling, maybe disturbing, that feels at once exhilarating and dangerous. These are films that stick with you like bad memories, conjured up every-so-often when we talk to fellow horror-philes who, like you, have walked a little too close to the precipice of…

    Cinescare is Growing!

    April 11, 2022 / No Comments

    Hey all! First, sorry once again for the weird spam emails. I’ve been working on my website this past weekend, and I have had a devil of a time straightening out a new template. Unfortunately, I activated the template too soon (twice), which released all the fake posts in the templates as if they were new posts. So, those of you who subscribe to my newsletter/website were inundated with several ‌bizarrely written emails. Hopefully, it wasn’t too frustrating for you and you could get a chuckle or two out of it. I believe I’ve gotten most of this stuff sorted, so we should be good for now. CINESCARE! If you…

    Your Shocktober Challenge Guide 2020!

    September 30, 2020 / No Comments

    Finally! We’re back in the fall spirit and ready for October. The pumpkin spice Scentsy aroma is strong in the Speak house, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. OK, maybe Reznor could do with a little less of it, but he’s a good sport. It seems like forever since I’ve written anything, either on my blog or on my books. I’ve been dealing with severe tendinitis in both of my hands the past few months, which has made typing rather difficult. I had intended to have book three of the Bettendorf Tales ready for publication by now, but I’m afraid that timetable will be pushed back into 2021.…

    Horror for Halloween

    October 15, 2018 / No Comments

    Hey everyone! Hope your Shocktober is going great! Thanks to everyone who picked up a free Kindle copy of Crow Creek the first week of October. It was a fantastic promotion charging my books up the horror charts for a while there. Hopefully, everyone likes what they read. Please do me a favor and leave a rating on Amazon! Shocktober Horror Movie Challenge I’ve been watching one horror movie or show per day throughout the month of October. Most of these films are obvious and you’ve probably seen them a time or a hundred, like me. But here are just some of my favorites I’ll be watching this month…
