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

Stream Queen: ghosts gone wrong
Not your everyday haunted house movies…unfortunately. These three ghost movies are ultimately disappointing in their attempts to be unique rather than to just serve up some good old scares. ALTERGEIST (2014) When will I learn to just stop watching movies … Continue reading

Stream Queen: science vs. the supernatural
Step away from the ghost machine! Will the living never learn not to mess with the dead? I look at The Ghostmaker and Fear Clinic, and they make it easy to make it brief…. THE GHOSTMAKER (2012) Any horror fan … Continue reading
IT HAPPENED AFTER SCREAM Part 9: the demise of the Urban Legend franchise
Urban Legend is pretty much a post-Scream slasher classic in my book, and also one of the major theatrical releases of the era. It has a great cast, suspense and scares, an awesome killer, chase scenes, and death scenes based … Continue reading
