The rest of Vincent Price in the 80s
The king of horror left his mark on the 1980s simply by leaving his mark on the title track from the king of pop’s massive album Thriller. But he also continued to appear in horror flicks, most of which I’ve … Continue reading

Weird shit through the 80s
From January 1st, 1980 – December 31st, 1989, I didn’t miss a moment of the 80s. I had cable. I worked at a video store. And yet, there are still horror flicks from the decade that I haven’t yet seen. … Continue reading

Dark Harvest and Totem – slashing scarecrows and cabin creatures in the 90s
If I’ve gotta do 90s horror, slashing scarecrows and cabin creatures are a good way to go. I missed both of these movies back in the day, so I was in for some surprises. DARK HARVEST (1992) A shot-on-video slasher … Continue reading

STREAM QUEEN: boys behaving badly, but who did it best?
This triple feature I checked out on Amazon Prime isn’t your usual scarefest. These are indie flix about young men who lose their shit for various reasons, leading to violence and bloodshed. So which one kept me most entertained? BLOOD … Continue reading
Back to the 90s with monsters, a killer clown…and the cannibal dead?
This trio isn’t exactly the cream of the 90s crop (very few films were), but it sure did keep me entertained with a mix of creature feature cheese, slasher slop, and backwoods bizarreness. THE TERROR WITHIN II (1991) A while … Continue reading

Blood, brutality, and sick sex in the 21st century
This was a rather perverse triple feature for a 3-day holiday weekend. I sure know how to pick ‘em. All three films are from the first decade of the new millennium, and interestingly, they decrease in shock value as time … Continue reading
Slashing, scratching, and spoofing through the body count in the early 80s
Every once in a while, a batch of films I select for a blog remind me that not even nostalgia can save a 1980s triple feature. SHADOWS RUN BLACK (1984) I can honestly say I had no idea what the … Continue reading

STREAM QUEEN: Spoofing the Scares
Some horror comedies have plenty of laughs but also intend to scare you. Not this trio of films—although things sure do get gory at times. CHIP & BERNIE’S ZOMANCE (2015) This curious movie runs 70 minutes long and feels more … Continue reading
