There’s a demon in Cameron’s Closet, and sadly, it’s not his mom’s hunky boyfriend
I can’t believe Tab Hunter went from the glory days of singing “Reproduction” in 82 to getting offed in the first five minutes of Cameron’s Closet in 88. The movie really gives mixed signals; we get that sweeping Spielberg-esque opening … Continue reading

Spanish horror double feature DVD – zombies and slashers!
So I watched a 2-on-1 DVD double feature of two Spanish horror films: zombie flick Cemetery of Terror from 1985 and slasher Grave Robbers from 1990. These are some pretty whacky movies! Cemetery of Terror is a load of 80s … Continue reading

When that rejuvenating facelift goes really wrong
In the 80s, if the monster wasn’t a knife-wielding masked killer, it was often some sort of lab experiment gone wrong: Re-Animator, From Beyond, The Fly, The Nest, and, of course, The Rejuvenator! So there’s this rich old actress who … Continue reading

The complete list of over 10,000 songs in my 80s playlist
This is it. This is the big one. I created a list (over 250 pages long) of every single song I have in my 80s playlist on my iPod (the PDF is at the bottom of this blog post). It … Continue reading

Don’t Go to the Reunion: a retro throwback to retro throwbacks
With the 20-year anniversary of Scream coming up, It was inevitable that a generation of filmmakers would start making movies celebrating the late-90s slasher reboot era just like Kevin Williamson was celebrating the 80s generation of slashers when he wrote … Continue reading
The time Frosty the Snowman started microwaving women
As if the title of the 1983 film Microwave Massacre doesn’t tip you off, you know you’re in for a trashy cult film when a chick sticks her huge hooters into a “glory hole” at a construction site in the … Continue reading
Crappy creepy Spookies seriously has it all
Apparently, the 1986 movie Spookies is the final, badly edited cut of a much better movie called Twisted Souls. When this sloppy mess came to VHS in the 80s, I watched it once then completely forgot it. But if you … Continue reading

The Last Horror Film; it’s like Maniac 2
Two years after creepy Joe Spinell played a psycho killer who targeted Caroline Munro in Maniac, he played a psycho killer who targeted Caroline Munro even more in The Last Horror Film (not to be confused with The Last Horror … Continue reading

Time to take on the DEMONS sequels!
Demons and Demons 2 are two of my 80s favorites. I can watch them over and over and over again and still get a thrill. Then there are the “sequels.” In other words, slap the franchise name on a movie … Continue reading
