The Schlimazel of Sebreim (Jewish Vampire Gothic Horror Comedy Insanity)
So, I was looking for a quick vampire read for students this J-Term for a project (yeah I teach, remember), and by chance came upon this interesting gem from Richard Elfman (yes, Danny Elfman’s brother of partial Oingo Boingo fame) entitled The Schlimazel of Sebreim. Though I was familiar with the name of both […]

Demon’s Souls (The Dark Souls Before Dark Souls)
Before the infamy gained by Dark Souls, From Software tried all of their groundbreaking ideas (arguably first) in the lesser known game called Demon’s Souls. Thanks to Bluepoint Games, Demon’s Souls is updated for modern consoles with systems and visuals built from the ground up. Unless you have vintage systems accessible (is the PS3 […]

The Black Room (Gother than The Hunger Horror Thriller)
One of the most beautiful things about the “Boutique Label” movement is the careful consideration and attention paid to films that have simply flown under the proverbial radar and been ignored for far too long. Hyped considerably by Bill Landis in the pages of Sleazoid Express yet ignored elsewhere, Elly Kenner and Norman Thaddeus […]

Seltsame Erden – Gedankentempeln (Hauntingly Mystical Black Metal)
I decided on three music reviews this week, can you believe it? They must be pretty damn good then! Truth. As I go through more and more promos over the years I feel like my mind demands things to be more clever. And with good reason; there are far too many acts doing things […]

Throat – Blood Exaltation (Possessed Black Metal)
Can musicians, or rather a band itself, be…possessed? I feel like possession has become too trite in media, so maybe that’s not a good idea, but then again has it been done yet for bands in particular? I’ll assume not and say that Poland/Finland’s Throat is just such a band. At some point in […]

Contaminated – Celebratory Beheading (Regal Beast Metal)
Uh oh, MF Contaminated is back! I remembered the name from the memories of the hulking beast cover on a previous album, and yet again I was struck by their utilization of catchy artwork, which in this case is a simple shot from the film La Reine Margot (1994). Effective. But, at any rate, […]

Stasis: Bone Totem (Bury Thine Sins Under the Sea Bio-Horror Point-and-Click)
Stasis: Bone Totem was a game I first became aware of via MandaloreGaming, and the premise of an underground bio-horror station seemed compelling. I was not disappointed, and neither will you be. For fans of the old school, point-and-click adventure genre mixed with modern top-down isometric controls, Stasis: Bone Totem is a delightful bio-horror […]

A Gun for Jennifer (Poster Says it All Revenge Thriller)
It’s “Vinegar Syndrome Month” here at Deaf Sparrow and this writer would like to highlight two exceptional releases that are currently flying under the proverbial radar. These are criminally underrated films that will blow your fucking socks off if given the chance yet through some bizarre circumstances or just poor judgment on behalf of […]

No One Rides for Free (Absolutely Disgusting Splatter Horror)
I found myself pondering what the best way to start my New Year’s off with, looked in my TBR, and made the decision that a short and sweet Judith Sonnet special would do the trick. Let’s just say, would I class it as “the best way?” I don’t actually know. Books like this make it […]

Green Hell VR (Jungle Exploitation Actual Survival Horror)
I heard the legends of the original first-person survival co-op Green Hell when it initially dropped and always intended on reviewing it, or having a writer do it for the site, but simply got caught in other releases and forgot about it. That was, however, until the VR version was announced by Polish developer […]
