On this day 25 years ago the film AMERICAN PSYCHO was released and it happens to be one of my favorite films. It’s a horror film, but I also find it to be hilariously funny and quotable. To celebrate its 25th anniversary we are working on an upcoming video for it. I’m hoping to have the script done in the next day or two and start recording this week. See ya guys real soon :)
In the meantime… I have to return some videotapes.

I wasn’t able to see this in theaters, but finally got my Blu-ray copy of THE WOLFMAN in the mail. Im trying to do more Boots To Reboots videos this year so expect this one to get crossed off in the future. Anyone see this yet? The creature reveal at Halloween Horror Nights months before the movie came out kinda ruined any excitement I had for it. Wasn’t digging the creature design at all. Hope it looks better in the actual movie.
