Bad boys vs. zombies vs. girl meets boy vs. zombies
There’s nothing like a zombie comedy double feature that goes right, especially when both movies are generally very different in sub-subgenre. I’m talking about rom-zom-com Night of the Living Deb and action zombedy buddy movie Overtime. They do have something … Continue reading
THE 80s SLASHER VAULTS Part 13: The end of the 80s horror era
I think this is it. I think my 80s Slasher Vaults series comes to an end with this 13th installment of lesser-known titles from the end of the 80s horror era. This one takes us right into the early 1990s, … Continue reading

Forgotten films: a campy 90s supernatural slasher comedy double feature
When it comes to the drastic shift to slasher comedies in the 1990s, we’ve all seen Dr. Giggles, Ice Cream Man, The Dentist films, Leprechaun movies, etc. But no one really talks about The Granny and Evil Ed, two films … Continue reading
Zombie Quickies: when you need an undead fix
This flesh-eating foursome – Sound of Nothing, Bunker of the Dead, 5 Years After the Fall, and Isle of the Dead – offers a good dose of zombie variety, including comedy, found footage, military action, and serious survivalist drama. But … Continue reading

Army of the Damned vs Devil Seed – demon double feature showdown!
It’s demon attack time, and I’m not talking about the classic Imagic game for Atari. However, I probably should have just spent my time battling those futuristic alien birds for the millionth time instead of watching Army of the Damned and Devil … Continue reading
A streaming session gone almost completely wrong
My weekend streaming selection was nearly a total watch list disaster, but an unexpected surprise film gave this marathon a twist ending for me. DEAD CRUELTY (2015) Okay. I went into this one expecting nothing…but got even less than that. … Continue reading

Zomcom Showdown!
It’s Me and My Mates vs. The Zombie Apocalypse VS. Freaks of Nature. I picked them both up on Blu-ray, but which was the better impulse buy? ME AND MY MATES VS. THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE (2015) This one should be … Continue reading
Sex and the slashers
Despite titillating descriptions of flesh and fear, bodies and blood, almost all four of these films barely brought me to the edge, and often left me shooting blanks. So which one finally provided the release I needed? You’ll just have … Continue reading

STREAM QUEEN: for the love of short running times…or not in some cases
My weekend horror included a trio of films with running times well under 90 minutes. Usually, that’s just the right length for my attention span, but two of these three fall short in other areas as well. Conveniently, I happened … Continue reading

Camp Massacre – this fat farm slasher needs to slim down
Camp Massacre comes via one of those “horror circles” of indie filmmakers. Most directors/actors/writers involved have all worked together on various projects—most notably, the films The Hospital and The Hospital 2. Someone in the film can even be seen wearing … Continue reading
