"This isn't Casper!" Swift Shot: I guarantee you at least three screams. Using that same, what I call, the "Where's Waldo" effect, where you have to keep looking at seemingly mundane footage and trying to essentially figure out what, if anything, is off, missing, or wasn't there before. This was the scariest, and probably most interesting, of the … [Read more...] about Paranormal Activity 3

Dream House
Sweet dreams are made of Zzzzzzzz... The H-Bomb: So this is a dream house, huh? It must have been one dull ass dream. But how did it go wrong?

Hobo with a Shotgun
“Hobo Stops Begging, Demands Change!” The H-Bomb: Do I really even have to say anything, here? The title says it all, people. It’s about a Hobo who goes on a blood thirsty, berserker rampage with… a shotgun. The end. Okay, there actually is a little more to it than that- and by that I mean a LITTLE more. It’s about a bum named… Hobo (Rutger Hauer), who arrives in Hope … [Read more...] about Hobo with a Shotgun
