World War not so e-Z
Don’t go into this video game named after the Brad Pitt movie expecting some sort of sequel, prequel, or canon side story. Don’t even really expect much of a story. In the style of Dead Rising (or a third person … Continue reading

STREAM QUEEN: vampires, a horror anthology, and a backwoods slasher
I’ve currently seen just about everything I wanted to blog about on all the streaming services, so I dug a little deeper on Prime to find Eat Locals (vampires), Monsterland 2 (horror anthology), and Stallo Awakens (backwoods slasher). EAT LOCALS … Continue reading
They came from the 80s…and landed on Blu-ray in the new millennium
As more and more 1900s horror of my childhood (damn, I’m old) makes its digital disc debut on Blu-ray, I give my brief thoughts on four recent releases that come from the 80s. Are they worth a buy even for … Continue reading

Will you have a howling good time with this 8-movie werewolf franchise?
I’m not going to go into depth about The Howling from 1981, because it’s a classic, and shame on you if you haven’t seen it. Yes, I’m totally horror shaming! It is director Joe Dante’s horror masterpiece, stars Dee Wallace, … Continue reading

Another Halloween BOO! Movie
That is some seriously festive Halloween horror movie poster art. I couldn’t ask for anything better (especially anything that reminds me more of It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown). Of course, I could ask for something better in terms of … Continue reading

I don’t know why I swallowed all this fly
Actually, I do know why. The Fly legacy rules and has haunted me since my childhood. So let’s get into all five films. THE FLY (1958) The pure simplicity of The Fly makes it such a classic of the 1950s. … Continue reading

Is Knife + Heart the gay slasher gays have been thirsting for?
I’ve been excited to see gay French horror film Knife + Heart ever since it started getting loads of promotion and then loads of raves from gay horror fans. As a result, I was also wary of being hugely disappointed … Continue reading

2 horror anthologies from 4 decades apart
Talk about an extremely contrasting double feature. And I don’t mean because one comes from 1977 and the other from 40 years later. The Uncanny and An Hour to Kill are totally different animals—one a cat, the other a pig. … Continue reading

Fresh Meat at the Carnival of Fear in Jurassic City
These three may not have anything in common, but I watched them one after the other on Prime, so I’m cramming them into one blog! CARNIVAL OF FEAR (2010) As soon as I began twitching while watching this one, I … Continue reading

Going back to before trolls discovered the Internet
When 1986 film Troll hit cable, I wasn’t a huge fan because it was essentially horror-lite, bordering on fantasy. 4 years later when Troll 2 hit video, I was breaking into my 20s and working at the video store, which … Continue reading
