Horror rules in this week's box office

"Chronicle" won this week's box office by raking in $21 million. Meanwhile, the remake of Hammer's "The Woman in Black", starring Danielle Radcliffe came in at #2 with $20 million.

Factor in that action/horror romp "The Grey" held strong at #3, and it was a pretty damn successful week for the genre.

Also, I'd venture a guess and say the good looking teen stars turned some people off. Some of us still haven't gotten over the late 90's, I get it. Still though, the trailer looked great to me and the buzz so far has been pretty positive. Find out what we thought next week when we sit down to review it on the podcast.

We should also be continuing our Livestream series on Thursday night at 7:30pm EST. It's your chance to ask the BGH gang all those intimate questions you normally only think in your head, sicko...

That's all for now. Stay safe out there, folks, from your Editor in Chief.
