Has the corporate world made you into a cubicle zombie?
The 2009 horror comedy Office of the Dead offers a pretty good premise for a satire that hadn’t really been tackled yet in the zombie genre: the lifeless drone that office life can make us. Add in the Shaun of … Continue reading
When horror becomes a whore show
Frank Henenlotter, the man behind the sleazy awesome gross cult film Basket Case, seemed to have been perfectly in tune with the sucky horror that would define the 90s when he made the 1990 film Frankenhooker. It was a popular … Continue reading
Indiana Jonesing to kill some zombies with a laser disc player?
Okay. The 1986 flick Raiders of the Living Dead has nothing to do with Indiana Jones, but I imagine the title was probably inspired by it—and Return of the Living Dead, obviously. In terms of bad 80s horror flix, Raiders … Continue reading
Naked guys, and zombies, and BEAUTIFUL DEAD creators Robert Fraser and Butch McLogic
Being a gay erotic horror author and horror fan, when I attended the LGBTQ sci-fi/fantasy/horror convention Bent-Con, naturally one of the first things I did was walk around to check out all the other guys’ goodies. Like a divining rod, … Continue reading

The horror of Phyllis Diller
I never would have expected Phyllis Diller to enter the horror zone, but by the late 80s, Jason, Freddy, Michael, and Chucky had made horror so cool that everyone was doing it. Of course, Phyllis first made her mark on … Continue reading
1 short film short of a gay ghouls horror anthology!
If you’re looking for a gay slasher, look elsewhere. Director Jeff London’s double feature DVD has two short films that take an old school approach—tension building slow burner with one big monster reveal zinger at the end. When Darkness Falls … Continue reading

The zombedy that’s actually about flesh-eating demons
Dead Before Dawn is a teen comedy that happens to have demons in it. Although, they are really just zombies being called demons. So this kid’s grandfather owns an occult shop, and there’s this skull urn the kid has been … Continue reading
So do Redneck Zombies eat out their own siblings?
Redneck Zombies is an infamous cult classic from the late 80s. It’s deliciously low-budget direct-to-VHS crap! Surprisingly, it’s not as comically over-the-top as I’d expected, but it definitely has its campy moments and plenty of gross outs. The real draw is … Continue reading

Night of the Living Dead Resurrection was so not dead on arrival as expected….
If it weren’t for haters all over the Internet, I don’t think I would find any movies I actually like. Maybe I have terrible taste—if the general population despises a movie, I’m generally a fan of it, if they love … Continue reading
There’s a demon in Cameron’s Closet, and sadly, it’s not his mom’s hunky boyfriend
I can’t believe Tab Hunter went from the glory days of singing “Reproduction” in 82 to getting offed in the first five minutes of Cameron’s Closet in 88. The movie really gives mixed signals; we get that sweeping Spielberg-esque opening … Continue reading
