FILM CRITICISM / JOURNALISM


​I was a film critic and contributing writer to the online horror source HORROR FREAK NEWS
​(formerly BEST HORROR MOVIES.COM) for over 4 years!
Check out the hundreds of reviews & feature articles I had the pleasure of penning (and on some of the bad flicks, the displeasure!) 

​In 2017, I also began to write for the good folks at Tom Holland's Terror Time!
