So now it’s time for my overly wordy analysis of the 31st movie on this year’s marathon list, The Silence of the Lambs. To say this psychological horror movie is a classic is an… Continue reading
I guess everyone can agree Halloween II (1981) is a retread and a poor sequel, but who can live up to the original Halloween? When you’re a movie that’s inspired a whole genre… Continue reading
I was torn between Little Shop of Horrors and The Abominable Dr. Phibes for what to watch, and I guess I’ve made up my mind that I really hate both of them. Little… Continue reading
When you commit to the slasher, you either commit to it or you’re just another I Know What you Did Last Summer crappy teen movie, but Hatchet (2006) isn’t one of those. It… Continue reading
What makes a good bad movie? I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle (1990) is a movie that’s bad on purpose, not like Battlefield Earth or something, but it’s debatable if it’s so bad it’s… Continue reading
Dracula, Prince of Darkness is one of the better Hammer horror movies, but I could have used at least a word or two from Christopher Lee. This movie sorta features Christopher Lee and… Continue reading
All horror twists owe something to Jacob’s Ladder. This movie is about death, obsessing and holding onto lost love ones, and the nature of memory. The movie itself is weird like a David… Continue reading
To coincide with the celebration of Christopher Lee, this marathon takes a look at Rasputin, the Mad Monk from 1966. This movie is underrated. When I first saw it, it was on a… Continue reading

This is simply a classic, and an essential part of any horror library. Anybody who doesn’t like Ash, needs to watch the 1981 original and the sequels all over again and get with… Continue reading
Creators of The Blair Witch Project must have watched Cube (1997) and thought walking to nowhere was a good idea. I’m really a sucker for low-budget junk that tries to be something more… Continue reading
Most people argue that Friday the 13th Part 6 or 7 is the best of the bunch, but The Final Chapter is underappreciated. Roger Ebert had the strongest review of this movie I’ve… Continue reading
I’ve never seen Re-Animator (1985), so I went in with no expectations, and came out surprised and re-animated. The reason I didn’t think much of it is because the story sounds very plain,… Continue reading
So I’ve reviewed a lot of horror comedies, monster movies and slasher flicks, but Videodrome (1983) is a straight-up horror film meant to mess with your head. It’s got hallucinations and strange, cyberpunk… Continue reading
