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

Teenage Zombie vs. Teenage Demons!
They came at the end of the 80s VHS horror era. So which is better, I Was a Teenage Zombie or Ghoul School? I WAS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE (1987) This fantastic low-budget mess is a teen horror comedy that needed … Continue reading

You’ve entered the 80s Twilight Zone (I wish!).
Why a Twilight Zone reboot? Anthology shows featuring stories of the unexpected and inexplicable were booming back in the 1980s: The Ray Bradbury Theater, Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside, Friday the 13th: The Series, Freddy’s Nightmares, Tales … Continue reading

They Live in a Doom Asylum and travel through a Pulse
Kristin Davis slashing before sexing, Joey Lawrence before he becoming a sex object, and Roddy Piper without his wrestling speedo, but still looking sexy. I take a look at three from the late 80s. DOOM ASYLUM (1987) The intro to … Continue reading
Even the 80s can’t save these three…
Yes, I’m guilty of saying (constantly) that anything 80s is perfect, but I will call out the occasional flaws. So here go three occasions. BOARDING HOUSE (1982) When the intro credits to an early 80s horror flick begin with … Continue reading

When you already own every other 80s horror flick
Rather than double dip and replace every single 80s horror movie I have on DVD with Blu-rays, I focus on collecting 80s horror flicks that never even made it to DVD or went out of print before I could snag … Continue reading
A late-80s horror mish mosh

The must-see X-mas Tale few have scene
With all the Christmas horror out there, 70-minute Spanish flick X-mas Tale from 2005 gets sorely overlooked, possibly because it’s thrown into one of those budget 6-on-1 DVDs. X-mas Tale is like The Monster Squad with a killer Santa. It’s … Continue reading
80s horror and sci-fi garbage
Sometimes, you just want to watch a bunch of crappy lost 80s horror movies that have been transferred directly from old VHS tapes to DVD and sold at ridiculous budget prices. These four flicks are so worthy of this special … Continue reading
