THE 80s horror SLASHER VAULTS 1: Cabins in the Woods

IT HAPPENED AFTER SCREAM Part 6: a little bit of everything
This batch of slashers from the decade following the success of Scream has it all: meta teen slasher fun, backwoods horror, and a touch of torture porn to round things out. CHERRY FALLS (2000) Despite some really juicy footage being … Continue reading
Four 80s horror slashers gone mostly bad

Stream Queen 14: where in hell has your soul gone?
What do you know? A selection of three streaming movies, and I actually didn’t loathe any of them. I’ll admit, it’s due in large part to the fact that I just love creatures with soulless eyes and a really weak … Continue reading
2008 – 2011 and still going for that 80s slasher feel!
Will filmmakers’ attempts to recreate the vibe of 80s horror films ever be replaced by—I don’t know—homages to Asian horror of the 2000s or imitations of mainstream ghost films of the 2000-teens? We’ll just have to wait and see. Until … Continue reading

The man of your dreams wants to stick it to you. Get the lube…and body bag!
