Exit 101 and Trick Or Treats: Halloween on a budget!
Despite their flaws—no, actually because of their flaws—unpolished, uneven horror flicks are a reminder that there are filmmakers who do it for the love of the genre, at any cost. Well…at no cost, actually. So let’s get into low-budget Halloween … Continue reading

Time for a 90s horror sleepfest!
Okay, so I’m not a big fan of 90s horror movies. But that’s not the reason I’m calling this a “sleepfest.” It’s a sleepfest because I’m covering 2 movies from the 90s with the word SLEEP in them! SLEEPSTALKER (1995) … Continue reading
Two 80s slashers that SLAUGHTER the genre…
They’re from the 80s. They’re slashers. They both have the word “slaughter” in the title and sit side by side on my horror shelf. So that’s why I’m taking on Slaughter High and Slaughterhouse. SLAUGHTER HIGH (1986) Slaughter High gets … Continue reading
It’s no Shocker that I completely blacked out Wes Craven’s Shocker
Being a huge fan of A Nightmare on Elm Street from the moment it hit VHS, I was most definitely a Freddy fan rather than a Wes Craven devotee. I never worshipped any movies just because they were made by … Continue reading

There are monsters in my TV!!!!
And they’re both on one Blu-Ray disc! 80s classics The Video Dead and Terror Vision have finally made it back to the home “video” market after a long hiatus (aka: the VHS days). So while everyone else was watching the … Continue reading

The Gingerdead Man needs a little Christmas spirit
In a last ditch effort to keep Christmas alive, I decided my next movie venture should be The Gingerdead Man trilogy. Needless to say, my biggest disappointment is that it doesn’t even revolve around the Christmas holiday! I know. Little … Continue reading

My kind of video game: zombies, cheerleaders, headless hunks, and 80s love
Forget the story, suspense, or scares of survival horror. Lollipop Chainsaw is a straight up hack n’ slash arcade style video game that is loads of zombie slaughtering fun. It’s just you, a chainsaw, a hot dumb cheerleader sucking on … Continue reading

What would Gremlins look like if they came from hell?
Gremlins created a monster—and I don’t mean when they ate after midnight. I’m talking about Troll, Critters, the classic 80s film Munchies starring Harvey Korman, and Ghoulies. How this particular film spawned 3 sequels is beyond me. GHOULIES (1985) Take … Continue reading

What comes from the 80s…and comes up from the sewers?
Do I have to spell it out? Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. C.H.U.D. 1984’s C.H.U.D. is one of those movies that all Gen-Xers will have fond memories of watching on cable. Upon a rewatch, it definitely made me nostalgic. It has … Continue reading
Would you rather be slashed at Night School or a Killer Party?
Having worked in a video store in the late 80s, I’d thought I’d seen them all …until now. Night School First I watched 1981’s Night School starring Rachel Ward, who would later go on to star in a Phil Collins … Continue reading
