This site, Red Rose Horror, is comprised of reviews, essays, and videos dedicated to the horror genre. These include a wide range of movies, shows, and books from a variety of time periods and styles. Incorporating my personal insights, historical context, and behind the scenes details I write about what is haunting, harrowing, and horrifying. Additionally RRH posts, particularly more recent ones, attempt to include what horror can reveal about topics like grief, rage, gender, race, and the shadows of society. My writing style blends poetic voice with analysis backed by sourced research that is rooted in a deep love and reverence for horror. Like many horror fans I’m interested in what scares us and not only why we seek out that scare but what that says about us as well as what it sometimes doesn’t say. In my horror reviews I try to go beyond the surface and pin down the meanings, historical context, truths, emotions, lessons, and influence. In particular my writing sets out to examine horror as not only entertainment but as a mirror held up to society. These reflections are communicated through a combo of character archetypes, plots, themes, marketing, box office results, audience or critic reviews, and more.
