From Friday the 13th victim to…directing horror films to channel gay desires?

Vampires, cannibals, a flying creature, and zombie animals

THE 80s horror SLASHER VAULTS 1: Cabins in the Woods
When I look at how many movies I’ve blogged about, I find it hard to believe how many in my movie collection I still haven’t! So, with my “It Happened After Scream” series of blogs covering new millennium slashers almost … Continue reading

Well rip out my brain and f*ck me with an alien
On a summer night in the late 80s and early 90s, when television was offering nothing but repeats, you’d rent movies like Brain Dead and Transformations, sit in front of a fan set to high, then blast the TV so … Continue reading
2008 – 2011 and still going for that 80s slasher feel!
Will filmmakers’ attempts to recreate the vibe of 80s horror films ever be replaced by—I don’t know—homages to Asian horror of the 2000s or imitations of mainstream ghost films of the 2000-teens? We’ll just have to wait and see. Until … Continue reading

Making sense of a classic Ed Wood disaster with a remake!
If it weren’t for his inept storytelling, Ed Wood would have been the original king of the zombie genre, beating Romero by nearly a decade with his 1959 film Plan 9 from Outer Space. Instead, the film is infamous for … Continue reading
