About us
Mr. Pat is the heart, soul, and voice of the reviews. A lifelong horror fan, he has written one every day of October since 2010, never missing a season. His style blends humor, sinister wit, and the dry sarcasm of “Earth’s Greatest City” — Toledo, Ohio. Every review is judged on the infamous “Dr. Chainsaws” scale, ranked from 1 to 10. For Mr. Pat, this tradition is not work but devotion, a yearly act of love and a tribute to everyday fans who find joy in a good scare. His words echo long after the credits roll, like the whine of a chainsaw in the dark.
​
Ravenhurst is the caretaker. A tall Texan with a twang in his voice, a rugged streak, and a taste for classic monsters, he keeps the gears of the site turning. When Mr. Pat finishes a review, Ravenhurst edits and adds the photos and GIFs, and posts it for the world to enjoy. He also sets the stage on Instagram and X. With a steady hand and an eye for detail, he ensures the reels keep spinning and the stories reach their audience, always working from the shadows of the graveyard.
​
Together, they are two caretakers of horror, keeping October alive one movie scream at a time.
