Lady in White – To Kill a Mockingbird meets Steven Spielberg in the 80s
1988 film Lady In White is a must-see for anyone who loved the nostalgic feel of Netflix throwback series Stranger Things but missed out on the 80s – or those who lived through the 80s but somehow missed out on … Continue reading
Body and The Forest – Girls in a house, Girl in a forest
Cleaning out the DVR, I scored a double feature with Body and The Forest, two suspense horror films that aren’t totally original but mix things up just enough near the end to be worth a watch if you’re a fan of similar movies. … Continue reading
Will the Tales from the Dark anthology films get your ghost?
A blatant throwback to the Asian ghost horror from over a decade ago, each of the two Tales from the Dark anthologies from 2013 features three supernatural tales by veteran horror directors. While they’re fun enough for nostalgia, if you … Continue reading

Think twice before visiting a woman at a cabin in the woods
Ghosts, demons, crazed killers…there’s no telling what you’re being lured toward when you go to visit a woman at a remote location in the woods, as demonstrated in The Sacred, Visible Scars, and Blood Lust. THE SACRED (2012) Director Brett … Continue reading

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
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
83 and 89 – demons, a costumed killer, a werewolf, and vampires
Cleaning 1980s horror house, here is the latest batch of weird crap I came up with from the VHS era that isn’t the usual slasher. THE ALCHEMIST (1983) Directed by Charles Band, who would go on to create Full Moon … Continue reading

Don’t look in the basement at home because they’re watching
My latest streaming marathon—three very different subgenres of horror—left me wanting more, even if each movie had its moments. DON’T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT 2 (2015) This is pretty cool. This direct sequel to the 1973 film Don’t Look in … Continue reading

Observance and The Perfect Husband – it’s man vs. woman in these two from Artsploitation Films
One is sort of supernatural, the other sort of slasher, they’re both slow burners that see man pitted against woman, both feature characters dealing with the loss of a child, and they both deliver some thrills, chills, and twists. I … Continue reading
Ghosts in a train, ghosts in an apartment building. Boo.
There was a time when I loved ghost movies. But I’m no longer twelve, the days of Poltergeist and House are long gone, and bumps, creaks, fleeting apparitions, and slamming doors aren’t enough to keep me focused on a movie. … Continue reading
