It’s week 3 of my zombie movie a day marathon with Gaynor Stenson on the Vamplit Blog and I haven’t gone crazy yet.

Beast Within was one of my favorites this week. I watched it alone after seeing … Read more

What did I like? I enjoyed the cinematography and the fresh story idea (not the story line), as well as appreciated … Read more
Let me start with the book shown to the right. This is the book that I read. I didn’t realize that the book also contained short stories written by Richard Matheson.
