Two backwoods horror flicks to leave you scarred and plank faced
A seemingly cheesy indie slasher gets brutal, and a seemingly brutal backwoods horror gets too disturbing for my fragile male ego to handle. SCARRED (2013) Although I haven’t seen Lady Krampus as of this writing, having already blogged about Hellweek … Continue reading
Don’t break down in the cold or the aliens will get you!
A deformed masked killer flick, a chilly thriller from an established horror director, and a low budget alien indie. So did any of these streaming selections win me over? ENGINE TROUBLE (aka: Junior) (2002) What begins as an ominous intro … Continue reading

Boys, bears and the backwoods horror of Slasher.com
And now for something completely different from Chip Gubera, director of the horror musical Song of the Dead. Actually, since that 2005 film, everything Gubera has made seems pretty unique. Unfortunately, he hasn’t done enough in terms of full-length films. … Continue reading

STREAM QUEEN: Not your usual slashers
If you’re looking for kids having sex and getting slashed in the 20-teens, don’t look to these four indie flix, because nothing’s business as usual here… SLASHER HOUSE (2012) Indie horror director MJ Dixon (Cleaver: Rise of the Killer Clown) … Continue reading

A psycho doctor, a backwoods family, sister witches, and a killer scarecrow
Sometimes you just need a good body count to refresh your horror palette. These three films did the job nicely. ASYLUM (2008) Director David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2, The Final Destination, Snakes on a Plane, Shark Night 3D) brings … Continue reading

Boys battling beasts from beyond
Here are two very different types of indie horror comedies about goofy guys thrust into otherworldly situations. So did they charm the pants off me? ORCS! (2011) I have to admit, despite being a horror diehard, I loathe any sci-fi … Continue reading

STREAM QUEEN: dead in the woods and dead under the wheels
Hey. When horror keeps coming at you in a never-ending stream, you’ll watch anything. Maybe that’s dulled my senses, but I didn’t hate either of these films. SUPER HYBRID (2010) The director of the U.S. version of One Missed Call … Continue reading

Back to the 90s with monsters, a killer clown…and the cannibal dead?
This trio isn’t exactly the cream of the 90s crop (very few films were), but it sure did keep me entertained with a mix of creature feature cheese, slasher slop, and backwoods bizarreness. THE TERROR WITHIN II (1991) A while … Continue reading

Blood, brutality, and sick sex in the 21st century
This was a rather perverse triple feature for a 3-day holiday weekend. I sure know how to pick ‘em. All three films are from the first decade of the new millennium, and interestingly, they decrease in shock value as time … Continue reading
Makeup man making movies in the new millennium
With a massive horror makeup effects career dating all the way back to 80s classics like Night of the Creeps, Evil Dead II, The Hidden, Phantasm II, 976-EVIL, Halloween 5, Bride of Re-Animator, and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5, … Continue reading
