Men, murder, and mayhem: the horror flix of Pete Jacelone

Posted on September 25, 2013 by Daniel

If David DeCoteau’s homoerotic fluff has got you down, you really must turn to Pete Jacelone’s hardcore hunky horror to get you up. It’s probably the perverse exploitative kick in the ass you’ve been bent over waiting for. Pete makes … Continue reading →

The vampires come out to prey in Darkness

Posted on August 3, 2013 by Daniel

Forget dialogue, romantic interests, love scenes, and nudity; low-budget gorefest Darkness from 1993 is virtually nonstop chasing, vampire slaying, and mortal-eating goodness. The plot is simple. When Liven, king of the vampires, comes to town and begins to turn everyone … Continue reading →

Bite Marks is my kind of gay horror-comedy

Posted on June 24, 2013 by Daniel

I’m thinking Bite Marks might be my favorite of all the gay horror films in my collection. Men and monsters are all cute or hot. Plus, it’s gory, scary, sexy, funny, pays homage to other horror movies—and never really resorts … Continue reading →

Nosferatu, the daddy of all horror movies

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Daniel

It was fascinating watching the 1922 vampire film Nosferatu just to see how much it has influenced horror films in the near 100 years since it was made. Interestingly, while it’s based on Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula, it isn’t an … Continue reading →

I have a lot to say about a whole lot of Salem’s Lot…

Posted on August 27, 2012 by Daniel

In short, the original Salem’s Lot still as chilling and atmospheric as it was when I watched it in 1979. The 2004 remake is slightly different in both good and bad ways, but not nearly as creepy. And the original … Continue reading →

Who’s afraid of the big bad Fright Night remake?

Posted on December 19, 2011 by Daniel

Right off the bat, the Fright Night remake did some things incredibly right, at least for me. Hot off the many heels of The United States of Tara, Toni Colette is the mom. I’m amazed she even did it, but … Continue reading →
