Author Joe Lopez

Dubbed, "TerrorScribe" by a former editor, Joe made the conversion to horror sometime in the mid-2000s. Little did he know he'd favored the genre all of his life. When not struggling with short stories, he provided genre film reviews for local entertainment sites and later genre sites who could suffer his cynical views.

It was that same cynicism - and some might say hubris - that lead him to have a brief flirtation with filmmaking. His first two efforts, "Annotated" and "Antes Que Seja Tarde (Before It's Too Late)" both premiered at a local H.P. Lovecraft film festival. A third short, "Survivor Girl" proved to be his undoing though plans are in the works to revived the cursed project.

Born and raised in Dallas, TX., Joe now resides in a small Texas town. Statistics say more dead bodies turn up in small towns that big cities... though he claims to have NOTHING to do with that.

Local Horrors: The Parker House

Haunted houses are the closest most of us will ever get to being in a horror movie. Even the most pedestrian production will take us out of the ordinary and, at the very least, put us in the dark and… Continue Reading →

DVD REVIEW: ‘Altitude’

While I undoubtedly love the Halloween season, I have to say, almost nothing comes close to the feeling you get on Christmas morning. Even as an adult, I still feel the magic in the air whether it was walking through… Continue Reading →

Everything I Know About Horror Is Right

A few weeks ago, someone asked me what I thought was a very simple question. I’ll paraphrase it for you here: What does the horror community want? The question quite honestly stumped me. What does the horror community want? So,… Continue Reading →

REVIEW: ‘Paranormal Activity 2′

OK, time for a little mental exercise. Imagine if you will if, instead of getting “The Empire Strikes Back” as the sequel to “Star Wars”, we got something a little different. Instead of ice planets and swamp planets and asteroid… Continue Reading →

‘Tis the season. The Halloween season of course when good little TerrorScribes like me are busy little bees reviewing horror movies, visiting haunted houses, deciding on costumes and just enjoying the general spookiness of the season. As you might have… Continue Reading →

REVIEW: ‘My Soul To Take’

Not all things get better with age. In fact, most things don’t. With the exceptions of true love and a small handful of wines, things get worse, decay and die. It’s a sad fact of life. “My Soul To Take”,… Continue Reading →

REVIEW: ‘Buried’

I don’t do well with enclosed places. I can’t even pinpoint some childhood trauma that might have caused it. I just know it’s there. I don’t even do well with onscreen portrayals of claustrophobic situations. It’s like there’s this gigantic… Continue Reading →

REVIEW: ‘I Spit On Your Grave’

While I’m inclined to believe in the inherent goodness of man, I also tend to believe that in each of us is a nugget of darkness, a seed of the foulest evil that simply needs circumstance to water it. Whether… Continue Reading →

REVIEW: ‘Let Me In’

Some of the most potent phrases in the English language are some of the shortest. At the deathbed of a loved one, we simply say, “goodbye.” To a cherished friend embarking on a journey, we may say, “don’t go.” And… Continue Reading →

REVIEW: ‘Hatchet 2’

It used to be there was a time when the Great American Horror Tale was “The Tell Tale Heart.” With the advent of moving pictures, one might point to “Frankenstein”. Later on, you could perhaps point to “Psycho” and maybe… Continue Reading →
