Hellbent: the Halloween slasher for gay dudes
In the 2004 film Hellbent, director Paul Etheredge put all his energy into creating a true slasher that just happened to have gay characters instead of going for farce or camp. This is simply the tale of four “dudes” who … Continue reading
I Know What Urban Legend You Told Last Halloween
Being a fan of low-budget indie slashers, I was looking forward to Devil’s Night. Its obscurity is so appealing, with our beloved Danielle Harris back in Halloween-themed slasher land (the same year she appeared in Rob Zombie’s Halloween!). While Devil’s … Continue reading
If the Zuni fetish doll had a younger brotha, he’d be Ooga Booga!
Holy crap. It’s been 40 years since Karen Black and an evil little loincloth-wearing monster with a spear made horror history!!! As a sort of anniversary celebration, this year, one of Karen’s finale appearances was in Ooga Booga, an homage … Continue reading

The Day After Halloween has it all – except leftover trick or treat candy

Wake up to the 80s throwback slasher The Sleeper
I am so psyched that there are so many directors making horror films that not only mimic the style of great 1980s VHS classics, but also take place in the 80s. Just like the movie Camp Slaughter, The Sleeper is … Continue reading
Two slashers that go out with a Big Bang Theory!
Our American sweetheart Kaley Cuoco is best known as Penny on The Big Bang Theory, but she has also walked in (actually, run in) the final girl shoes a couple of time!!! KILLER MOVIE (2008) Killer Movie is jam-packed with … Continue reading
Will these snow slashers leave you white-knuckled with fear?
Here are a handful of slashers that will give you chills…partially because there’s so much snow blowing around! COLD PREY (2006) The first Cold Prey focuses all its energy on being an atmospheric, slow burner. A bunch of kids hikes … Continue reading
Dark House: it’s Waxwork with Holograms!
Dark House is just plain old horror fun with a splash of camp and a splash of CGI blood. It’s one of those cheesy movies that will totally entertain you if you catch it on one of the horror networks … Continue reading
Something has gotten into their brains!
I happened to get the 1981 film Strange Behavior and the 1988 film Brain Damage on DVD in the same week. Since they both have to do with people being mind-fucked in the 80s, I thought I’d blog about them … Continue reading
Direct-to-DVD: the nasty little flix of Richard Griffin
After seeing the trailer for The Disco Exorcist, I realized I needed to see a load of director Richard Griffin’s films. Much of it is b-movie madness that will appeal to fans of trashy, campy 70s and 80s films. I’m … Continue reading
