My look back at #DayOfTheDead marks the halfway point of #DeadNoteAfterDark. deadnotemedia.com/2026/10/17…

DeadNote After Dark, Night 14: Day of the Dead—What Happens When the Dead Start Learning and the...

Bub remembers. That’s the problem. Or maybe it’s the only hopeful thing left in Day of the Dead. George Romero’s third zombie film strips almost everything away. The mall is gone. The crowds are go…

DeadNote After Dark, Night 4: Ernest Scared Stupid—Why Is This Ernest Movie Actually Scary?

Black Sabbath’s Vol. 4: How Far Can a Riff Take You?
