J. Meredith is a freelance writer currently working on his first novel while still trying to keep the lights on. He’s got too many interests to ever pursue them all, though he spends far more time with movies, music, and books than he really should. As a Halloween baby, he feels a natural tendency toward things dark, horrific, or at least black-and-white. Feel free to haunt him on his Facebook Page or on his Instagram accounts Scribe_69 and john_e_meredith.

There was this guy named George Barry. He grew up in the same Detroit suburbs as Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell. Like them, he was a huge fan of classic horror films and drive-in movies.
In THE CONJURING 2, we witness Burgess' mastery of the camera as a storytelling tool, doing much to scare the shit out of us with a simple pan or tilt.
