Sometimes zombies make me laugh, sometimes they don’t

Posted on October 1, 2018 by Daniel

Werewolf flix that make me howl with laughter in between screams

I’ll never forget back in 1981 when An American Werewolf in London and The Howling changed the werewolf genre forever, from the transformation effects of both to the comedy of An American Werewolf in London and the bipedal wolves of … Continue reading →

Slashing and spoofing and clowning around

Posted on August 25, 2018 by Daniel

This was originally just going to be a slasher spoof double feature about two films that came two decades apart, but I had to throw in one oddity that fell around the middle somewhere.  STUDENT BODIES (1981) One of the … Continue reading →

Two 90s anthologies that needed more than two stories each

Posted on August 20, 2018 by Daniel
