31 Days of Horror Movies – #10 – William Shatner and the Kingdom of the Spiders

John Cardos and William Shatner met at a Save the Trees convention (not Star Trek), and Cardos helped The Shat with his next car payment by signing him up for this movie. Just… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #11 – In The Backwoods with Gary Oldman

The title of this movie should be changed to Gary Oldman’s Copycat Deliverance.  Gary Oldman owed someone a favor because he’s the best thing about this movie and that’s not really a complement… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #12 – Tucker and Dale vs Evil

This is the biggest formula movie of them all.  It’s a horror comedy, starring Tyler Labine as the “evil” Dale and Alan Tudyk as Tucker.   You may remember Alan as the off-color Brit… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #13 – They Sorta Look Like People (2015)

They Look Like People (2015) is surprisingly effective, first in its character relationships and in subtle delivery of horror just out of sight.  The story is mainly about the relationship between Christian and Wyatt,… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #14 – The House That Dripped A Little Blood

This is the only time in history the movie studio fought the ratings board for a worse rating.   The House That Dripped Blood (1971) is tame by modern standards (or any standards for… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #15 – Phantasm Ravager – Midgets blowing up stuff?

Phantasm Ravager cooks up some more action for Phantasm fans and concludes/continues the story.  The movie actually begins well enough, with floating spheres a ’71 Cuda, gunshots, and Reggie, our main character.  We… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #16 – Ghost Stories (2018) with Martin Freeman and everyone else

Ghost Stories (2018) is a traditional horror movie with an eerie twist, a la Creepshow or Tales From the Darkside, but without being a repeat of popular anthology threads.  It seems to be… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #17 – Don’t Look Now (1973), it’s Donald Sutherland #movies #horror #

Don’t Look Now (1973) uses the usual conventions to show the impact of a young child’s death.  There’s definitely a lot of thematic elements in this movie, from the differing uses of communication… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #18 – Unsane FTW

Unsane is the tense story of a woman constantly in fear.  Red State (2011) turned out not to be a horror movie, so I watched Unsane (2018) today, which turned out not to… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #18 – What’s the controversy in Red State? #movies

Red State (2011) has a lot of controversy, with Kevin Smith and the film’s politically charged content.  This film is about a bunch of religious extremists stirring up trouble, leading to a shootout… Continue reading

What does Joe Bob really think about The Last Drive-In Breaking the Internet?

We have this fascination with things that go wrong, and some people get really excited when The Internet (in caps) breaks.  Why?  I’m guessing it’s there one chance to see the infrastructure built… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #19 – What is the Real Meaning of The Ninth Gate? #movies #horror #marathon #ninthgate #longandhard

I’ve never thought very highly of The Ninth Gate (1999) but I’ve read a few articles recently that changed my mind about it’s deeper meaning.  Of course, I love deeper meanings.  I’m an… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #20 – We Are Still Here (Watching Horror Movies) #horror #movies #wearestillhere

We Are Still Here (2015) is a faux-artsy horror movie that surprises you how suddenly it goes all splatterpunk on you.  This movie actually has your usual haunted house clichés but the director… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror Movies – #21 – Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-rama #movies #horror #joebob #slimeball #80s

Now it’s time for an 80s bowling movie that’s not really a bowling movie (it only takes place in a bowling alley) with comedy, horror, and bad hair.  This movie follows the classic… Continue reading

31 Days of Horror – #22 – The Prowler stalks (slowly)

Joe Bob said it took six writers to polish off this crappy slasher, but it’s hard to believe you need six people to write direction for a young woman to wander around a… Continue reading
