Nico Mastorakis has been making horror films for decades, and I’ve already covered The Zero Boys, so I figured it was time to clean house and cover some of his others from back in the day. So let’s take a … Continue reading

Four 1970s b-horrors from a DVD multipack…and some are not all that bad
My multipack madness continues! I’d never seen any of these, so I was in for some surprises, and only one major disappointment. STANLEY (1972) Stanley is Willard in the Everglades with snakes. This goofy movie is all about a Native-American … Continue reading

The horror of a 1990s trashy double feature
