Home for the Holidays – the time Sally Field made a holiday slasher
It may have been produced for television by Aaron Spelling, but it still counts! In 1972, a couple of years after The Flying Nun’s final flight, Sally Field played the youngest sister in Home for the Holidays. A foursome of … Continue reading

Body count by Jake
When it comes to Thanksgiving horror films, if the Thankskilling movies aren’t your cup of trash (I blog about them here), the 1981 slasher Home Sweet Home probably isn’t either. But you really don’t have much choice when it comes … Continue reading

The things I saw at New York City Horror Film Festival 2014!
Everything seemed perfect. Two Halloween themed horror movies were taking place on Saturday, November 15th. There was enough time in between the two movies to go out for dinner. AND, Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead was going to be … Continue reading

Quick looks at modern horror time killers part 7
A crotch hater, a masked killer, a swamp monster, a rock ‘n’ roll zombie, and a banshee. I look briefly at 5 more horror flicks from the last decade. TWISTED SISTERS (2006) This is low-budget, shot-on-video horror. A slutty chick … Continue reading

RABIES – violence is infectious!
2010 Horror flick Rabies comes from Israel and it is fucking insane! Imagine if Tucker & Dale vs. Evil was more violent and cruel with a much darker sense of humor…and you’d have this way better movie. Don’t expect any … Continue reading

Quick looks at modern horror part 6
THE POSSESSION OF MICHAEL KING (2014) The Possession of Michael King is definitely out to grab the Paranormal Activity and The Last Exorcism crowd—but it’s kind of better than both. It’s much darker and more sadistic. And while it’s sort … Continue reading

Battle of the indie slashers: Gore, Quebec vs. Sledge!
I love me some backwoods slasher indies with that 80s throwback feel. So I had to make Gore, Quebec and Sledge a double feature based on the titles alone! But they’re two very different experiences. GORE, QUEBEC (2014) Gore, Quebec … Continue reading

(brain)scanning the 90s for a unique take on the slasher…
The 1994 flick Brainscan is one of those forgotten 90s horror films that’s actually better than most of the crap that came out in the early part of that decade. Young Edward Furlong, who’d already begun his horror career with … Continue reading
Quick looks at modern horror time killers 5
Executed killer’s soul lives on. Ghosts/aliens. Something’s in the water (maybe). A horny psychic possessed chick. I take on four more modern films. HOLD YOUR BREATH (2012) Hold Your Breath is pretty much your typical slasher, with a group of … Continue reading
