Is Blade in the Dark a euphemism—or are you just happy to kill me?
In true 80s-Italian-horror fashion, director Lamberto Bava, son of director Mario Bava, proves that film creators are more psychosexually messed up than the characters in their films. I’m taking on 1980’s Macabre and 1983’s A Blade in the Dark not … Continue reading

Everybody hates a clown…
Clowns are about as kid-friendly as liver. Especially when the clown is slicing you open to remove your liver. When I think of clowns, I think of John Wayne Gacy, not Ronald McDonald (and even he was kinda creepy). If … Continue reading

Good God this is a better-than–average bad zombie movie!
Last thing I expected when I popped the no frills Days of Darkness into my DVD player was to actually like it—a lot. Most likely the first thing that will annoy most undead lovers is the lack of gnarly zombie … Continue reading

Can I butter your Pop Porn?
Decades ago, porn star Andrea True did the unimaginable—she had a successful top 10 pop hit with the song “More, More, More.” Other than the fact that she was in a 1975 porn called Both Ways in which she played … Continue reading

Kinda Butch Cassidy and the No Sun Dance Kid
Most people who discuss what a brilliant movie Near Dark is compare it to The Lost Boys and are thrilled that it’s a mini-reunion of actors from Aliens. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Alien series, so the … Continue reading

stud stalking
Horny for horror movies? Think there’s way too much T&A of the female variety to satisfy a gay guy? That’s where Stud Stalking comes in. I’ve created a list of must-see horror and goth themed films, but not exactly because … Continue reading
Pieces will have you in stitches…
Since this perspective on the 1982 slasher Pieces is mine, naturally it doesn’t matter what the quality is of the film. It is a total treasure simply because it comes from the 80s—there’s even a fricking Ronald Reagan photo hanging … Continue reading
Can it be Halloween without Michael Myers?
When I first saw the original Halloween, not only was it a truly suspenseful and chilling experience, it had something else going for it—it felt like it was taking place on Halloween. Sure, it was filmed in California, the trees … Continue reading

Romero Zombie—the good, the bad, and the remade
I finally did it. I finally took the time to watch every Romero titled zombie film in sequence—including non-Romero remakes. Which means this will probably be my longest blog since my dissertation on Square Pegs. Since my all-time favorite, Night … Continue reading
