2 out of 3 ain’t bad—actually, they’re both pretty damn good
This weekend’s movie marathon included three films I knew nothing about going into them. So it’s even more satisfying that a majority of them really scratched my chronic horror itch. As for subgenres, they all really only have one thing … Continue reading

Indie clown slasher double feature!
Killer clown movies seem to saturate the market nearly as much as zombies and found footage films these days, so it was refreshing to find two indie clown horrors that did something a bit different with the concept. I was … Continue reading

Will kids ever stop going into the woods?
I originally intended this to be a double feature blog, but since I’m a completist with OCD, ADHD, and anal-retentive tendencies, I picked up the pointless remake of Cabin Fever for my collection, so I’ll toss in some quick thoughts … Continue reading
80s SLASHER VAULTS 10: It came from 1987
