Horror Humor! Monster Man in a Killer Pad
I love goofy comic actor Eric Jungmann. He has appeared on numerous TV shows and in teen flicks like Varsity Blues and Not Another Teen Movie. But I’m more a fan because of his horror resume! He was a background … Continue reading
Shrooms is kind of trippy but wears off fast
I finally got the “unseen edition” of Shrooms on Blu-ray…which has something like 1 minute more of footage. Whatever. Here goes. What could possibly go wrong when a bunch of kids heads into the Ireland wilderness in search of drugs, … Continue reading
Things are getting scary at The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror
Gay horror films are few and far between, and they always seem to get a bad rap. Despite seeing The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror trashed online, turns out it’s one of my favorite gay slashers (of about 2 … Continue reading

Just when you thought it wasn’t safe to go in the woods…
If you love backwoods horror like Texas Chainsaw, Wrong Turn, Monster Man, 2000 Maniacs, then you will fully appreciate Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, a horror comedy satire that is absolutely in no way a horror film. But it is … Continue reading
Wrong Turn takes a wrong turn somewhere around the middle of part 3
The original Wrong Turn is one of my favorite horror flicks of the Y2K decade. It’s got Eliza Dushku. It’s got that hot guy as her love interest. It’s got deformed backwoods freaks, suspense, gore. That’s all I really need … Continue reading
I got totally plastered last night–and it was kinda scary
Okay, this is really bad situation. I have this 2006 horror film Plasterhead in my collection—and upon rewatching it last night, I can only assume I watched it a first time. Seriously, I don’t remember a SINGLE THING about this … Continue reading
