Direct-to-DVD: the gay and homoerotic horror flicks of Alex Dove
So Alex Dove made a few gay horror flix in 2003 before “coming out” as director Alex Pucci with his awesome 80s throwback slasher Camp Slaughter. I’m shocked Zombies and Das Hause haven’t gotten heavy rotation on Logo TV. ZOMBIES … Continue reading
A CGI slasher, an 80s throwback, and a horror comedy
Headless Horseman, The Revenant, and Bloody Homecoming. Which was my fave? HEADLESS HORSEMAN (2007) Headless Horseman takes the classic story…and makes it a backwoods slasher. A group of kids is headed for a party. There are some pumpkins in their … Continue reading

Fright Night 2, or, the remake of the remake of Fright Night
Okay, so I knew going into Fright Night 2: New Blood that none of the original cast members were coming back and all the characters were being portrayed by different actors. Now, unless I’m completely forgetting something and all the … Continue reading
Men, murder, and mayhem: the horror flix of Pete Jacelone
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

Return of the teen romantic vampire comedy
Remember movies like Once Bitten and My Best Friend is a Vampire back in the 80s? If you grew up on those and still have somewhat of an adolescent palate, the 2011 flick My Sucky Teen Romance will satiate your … Continue reading

Campy gay horror double feature from author Rob Rosen
When I ordered Rob Rosen’s books Queerwolf and Vamp, as much as I wanted to jump into reading them as soon as they landed in my mailbox, Vamp arrived first. It was also his newer title. I had a funny … Continue reading

The vampires come out to prey in Darkness
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
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
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…
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
