The stuff of 80s horror nightmares
Why were Friday nights awesome in the 80s? You’d rent three movies and get the fourth free at the video store, pop loads of buttery popcorn, and then watch crappy midnight movies until four in the morning. 80s horror movies … Continue reading

Sodomite serial killer vs. the fierce and fabulous blood sucker
I look at two completely different movies with one thing in common. Beware the blood hungry monsters who also crave man ass in Someone’s Knocking at the Door and Vamperifica! SOMEONE’S KNOCKING AT THE DOOR (2009) Sex, sodomy, drug trips, and crass comedy. … Continue reading
The rest of Herschell GOREdon Lewis!

Tusk and Starry Eyes are two well-hyped recent films that are very different yet both feature themes of body morphing! While neither blew me away and I don’t feel a need to ever see either again (let alone add them … Continue reading

An American Terror – is it Hellbent 2?
When I saw the cover art for An American Terror, my immediate thought was “leather man killer!” When I saw a clip in the trailer with the word “FAGS” painted on a car in a high school parking lot, I … Continue reading
Horror house cleaning: 90s trash
Ah. The nostalgia of all the shitty horror that pretty much went straight to video or straight to cable in the 90s. But out of the six films I look at here, one actually breaks the mold and hints at … Continue reading
Vincent Price madness!
My Vincent Price marathon continues (my other blogs covering his movies are here and here) with the perfect number of films: 13! I wish the number had been 14, but I’ve yet to get my hands on a copy of … Continue reading

Vincent Price meets the horror biggies: Poe, Corman, Matheson, Lovecraft
The House on Haunted Hill will forever remain my favorite Vincent Price horror flick, followed closely by The Tingler (and a few others). But in the 1960s, when he wasn’t working with William Castle (I blog about those films here), … Continue reading
