Time to take on the DEMONS sequels!

Posted on August 30, 2013 by Daniel

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 →

3 bad seeds make for one Bloody Birthday

Posted on August 26, 2013 by Daniel

Combine The Bad Seed with early 80s slasher mentality and you get Bloody Birthday. An opening kill of a couple having sex in a grave makes this look (and sound) like another Friday the 13th knockoff. But this is the … Continue reading →

Slaughterhouse Rock or Slaughterhouse New Wave?

Posted on August 25, 2013 by Daniel

Slaughterhouse Rock is one of many bizarre horror flicks that tried so hard to be different after the onslaught of copycat slashers in the first part of the 80s. As a result, it suffered the same fate; it’s a typical … Continue reading →

Wake up to the 80s throwback slasher The Sleeper

Posted on August 18, 2013 by Daniel

I am so psyched that there are so many directors making horror films that not only mimic the style of great 1980s VHS classics, but also take place in the 80s. Just like the movie Camp Slaughter, The Sleeper is … Continue reading →

Posted on August 11, 2013 by Daniel

I happened to get the 1981 film Strange Behavior and the 1988 film Brain Damage on DVD in the same week. Since they both have to do with people being mind-fucked in the 80s, I thought I’d blog about them … Continue reading →

He hacks, slashes, and mutilates…but is he scary?

Posted on August 2, 2013 by Daniel

1985 was pretty much the pinnacle of evil killers that didn’t become pop culture icons. So The Mutilator is a welcome addition to the genre. It’s got seriously sleazy, gruesome kills (as long as you see the unrated version), a … Continue reading →
