I'm Kevin, I always wanted a My Pet Monster (except for real). My favorite color is Glow in the Dark. Stuck between 1982 and 1992. Let's do the time warp again.

Aliens are not Cryptids, but Cryptids can be Aliens.

I learned that they are actually thriving in the land down under though, 11.4 billion in revenue, and 325 stores across Australia and New Zealand.

I first saw Escape From New York randomly on a Saturday afternoon on TBS and it was life altering.

True, but streaming killed the thing where you accidentally "discover" a film. I remember flipping channels and coming across Better Off Dead and feeling like I'm the only one who knows about this movie. It was a great feeling.

Objectively The People Under The Stairs, but I have great affection for The Serpent And The Rainbow.

What do you think is Wes Craven’s best film that isn’t part of the A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET or SCREAM franchises?

I feel like everyone will have a different answer and that’s really interesting to me.

They brought back Stranger Things pizza and they come with collectible stickers. The only sticker I want is the one for Starcourt Mall.

People always joke that they were afraid of quicksand growing up but I think I was more afraid of alien abduction.

Kids today will never stumble upon Night Of The Living Dead at 2am while channel surfing and that's just sad.
