Bad Biology – the horror of the genitals….
Frank Henenlotter hadn’t made a film since the 90s, when he did the third Basket Case film. His films were gross back then, so it was going to be a big challenge to outdo himself and live up to modern … Continue reading

Happy Horrordays from Grizzly Adams, a demonic elf, and the Nazis
I can’t imagine why the 1989 holiday horror Elves has eluded the DVD market. This comes pretty close to being a great 80s holiday horror. Unfortunately, It falls apart after a cool setup. I plan to totally spoil the hell … Continue reading

Forget Critters, Ghoulies, and Gremlins…blood gnomes are here to ruin your sex life!
I swear. I did not intentionally buy Blood Gnome! This one came in a triple pack with Spliced and the amazing Satan’s Little Helper. But I still liked the hell out of this sleazy piece of little monster trash! This … Continue reading
If you only see one Tasmanian Devil movie this year….
Just like Taz is one of the most rarely seen Bugs Bunny characters, the Tasmanian Devil rarely makes his way into movies. In fact, Tasmanian Devils and Cemetery Gates may be the only two movies solely about these critters. But … Continue reading
The Monster in the Closet wants to do nasty things…to your man!
Other than the campy gay subtext, you’d never guess that Monster in the Closet is a Troma film. It’s a light, fun spoof of 50s creature features, with a monster that looks like a Muppet version of the Rancor from … Continue reading

Comments Off on The Monster in the Closet wants to do nasty things…to your man!
Sometimes, what starts out as fun and games takes a turn into terror!
Under the Bed is a curious little creature feature. If you’re typically critical while watching films, you’d be better off skipping it. But if you just like to be spooked, you’ll probably appreciate this little slice of “horror lite.” I … Continue reading
The Creature from the Cold Lagoon
I just wrote in a recent blog for James Felix McKenney’s whacked exploitation film Satan Hates You that his follow-up, a creature feature called Hypothermia, would probably be on SyFy any day now. Well, it was on SyFy sister channel … Continue reading
Need your pipes cleansed?
Watching wickedly low-budget horror flick Drainiac, you would never guess that it was made in 2000. Director Brett Piper uses old handmade special effects and camera techniques because, well, that’s all he can afford. The film is grainy and washed … Continue reading

When that rejuvenating facelift goes really wrong
In the 80s, if the monster wasn’t a knife-wielding masked killer, it was often some sort of lab experiment gone wrong: Re-Animator, From Beyond, The Fly, The Nest, and, of course, The Rejuvenator! So there’s this rich old actress who … Continue reading
