PRIME TIME: 4 reminders that zombies need to go away for at least a decade

Music and the munchies….
Horror…music…comedy. Not quite. None of these three films about singing flesh and blood eaters manages to hit the mark on all three counts. CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL (1993) Before South Park became a hit, Trey Parker and Matt Stone wrote this … Continue reading
How do you take your horror comedy?
Dark and mean, light and musical, or frickin’ scary with subtle humor? I look at three totally different types of horror films with varying levels of humor. THE LOVED ONES (2009) The overwhelming positive response I’ve seen online to this … Continue reading

Before they were horror stars: De Palma and Cronenberg
It’s a 1970s double feature of two completely different horror flix from Brian De Palma and David Cronenberg: sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll in Phantom of the Paradise and sex, slugs, and more sex in Shivers. Plus, a touch … Continue reading
