David McKee, A True Hero In Gaming Journalism

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” — George Orwell  David McKee was born in 1961 to Christopher and Linda McKee. They were people of words and letters, and those qualities were passed on to him. His father was a college librarian, and his mother taught history at the college level. He moved about a bit during his upbringing, from this state to that, and he received a degree in English from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota.

15 of the Best Horror Movies on Netflix to Watch on Halloween

A group of friends gets into a car accident, accidentally killing someone and then covering it up. One year later, a vengeful killer who knows what they've done targets each one of them because, you know, consequences. That's the premise of I Know What You Did Last Summer, starring an ensemble of young actors including Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders and Jonah Hauer-King, plus a couple of older faces -- Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt, who starred as the terrorized teens in the 1997 original. (The original film isn't on Netflix at the moment, but its sequel, 1998's I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, is. And just because these films fall under the "teen screams" category, they're still good for serious thrills.) Source link
