Two witchy old ladies that exchange teeth for gifts, have hideous faces and wear black cloaks, and just love to kill children. Fun, fun, fun! It’s Darkness Falls vs. The Tooth Fairy. DARKNESS FALLS (2003) Darkness Falls came out at … Continue reading
IT HAPPENED BEFORE THE 1970s….
Here goes. One each from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s! FREAKS (1932) Infamous at the time of its release for using real sideshow “freaks” as its cast, this film, which runs little over an hour, isn’t really a “horror” … Continue reading
The stuff of 80s horror nightmares
Why were Friday nights awesome in the 80s? You’d rent three movies and get the fourth free at the video store, pop loads of buttery popcorn, and then watch crappy midnight movies until four in the morning. 80s horror movies … Continue reading

Barbara Steele was pretty much the female Vincent Price of the 1960s. She was a serial scream queen! So here’s a quick look at three of her flicks from the mid-60s. CASTLE OF BLOOD (1964) Castle of Blood is a … Continue reading

The rest of Herschell GOREdon Lewis!
I’ve covered the Herschell Gordon Lewis Blood Trilogy here and here. After those films, Lewis continued grinding the meat…I mean, churning out the horror flicks. Things got campier, more disgusting, and more cheesy bad. The only reason to watch some … Continue reading

5ive Girls – witches and ghosts and demons, oh my!
I just love me some rebellious teenage girls turning to witchcraft to work out their angst. Imagine The Craft girls being sent away to a Catholic reform school and becoming possessed, and you have 5ive Girls. Okay, you’d actually have … Continue reading

Vincent Price madness!
My Vincent Price marathon continues (my other blogs covering his movies are here and here) with the perfect number of films: 13! I wish the number had been 14, but I’ve yet to get my hands on a copy of … Continue reading

Tamara – throwback to the age of horror movie novelizations
Growing up in the 1980s, I devoured novelizations of horror movies—Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Fog, Jaws 2, Dressed to Kill, April Fools’ Day, Poltergeist—always thrilled to discover embellishments by the writers or scenes from the screenplay that … Continue reading
Double feature fun time with demons and witches
There’s nothing like watching horror flix back to back and having simple, cheesy, gory fun with the double feature. Like when I sat down to watch The Demon’s Rook and Hansel & Gretel Get Baked. THE DEMON’S ROOK (2013) … Continue reading
