Big horror names, little horror movies
From George A. Romero to Danielle Harris, I take on two horror flicks that aren’t even a blip on the radar despite iconic names in the horror genre. BRUISER (2000) I can see why George A. Romero opted to … Continue reading
Soul Keeper – hen an adventure comedy poses as a horror comedy

Supernatural comedies to put you in high spirits
Ghosts, spirit guides, laughs, and 80s icons! I take on three fun and cheesy flicks: Vibes, High Spirits, and Haunted Honeymoon. VIBES (1988) What a cast! Jeff Goldblum, Julian Sands, Peter Falk, and Cyndi Lauper. Sadly, I think Vibes was … Continue reading
