Hands down, this film is my favorite zombie movie. I know I’m going to take a lot of heat from Romero purists for that, but I just like what I like. So sue me. I don’t think anything can ever top Linnea Quigley dancing naked in a cemete…
Horror comedy really is a difficult genre. You either really nail it, like Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive or Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead, or you fall flat on your face. Personally, I love Dead Heat with Treat Williams (R.I.P.) and Joe P…
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis—when I was a kid killing time, I couldn’t have imagined this.We’ve discussed a fair number of 90s horror movies this season. Dr. Giggles immediately comes to mind. It’s a film that, like many horr…
Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Cyborg is a curious artifact from the twilight years of Cannon Films, a studio once synonymous with over-the-top action cinema. Released a year after his breakout role in Bloodsport, this film is a stark reminder of the…
We’ve slogged through our fair share of 90s horror flicks, and let’s just say, Dr. Giggles isn’t a shining star in that cinematic graveyard.Clocking in at a mere 90 minutes, Dr. Giggles somehow manages to feel like an eternity. It&…
It’s hard to imagine a creator trying to undermine their own creation. Such is the case with 1989’s Shocker, Wes Craven was disgruntled with Bob Shaye (head of New Line Cinema) for not allowing him to be involved in any future Night…
On paper, Van Helsing seemed like a surefire hit. With a charismatic lead like Hugh Jackman, the director of two successful Mummy films, and a greatest hits package of Universal Monsters - it’s easy to see why Universal Studios placed such hig…
Movies can be a big deal for kids. They shape the way we think. Our interests, our loves and our deepest desires. Sometimes even our fears. I was afraid of getting bullied. I’m pretty sure it gave me the anxiety disorder I’ve suffered wi…
The path to hell is paved with good intentions. Director Sylvester Stallone’s Staying Alive looked to elevate Tony Manero and his continued adventures. However Saturday Night Fever wasn’t just a great film, it was cultural touchston…
When I was growing up, action heroes were the biggest thing on the planet. No matter how shitty my life got, I had those action stars. I’d spend hours cutting out articles and collecting posters. It consumed my very existence.As a kid who got …
A Cult Classic in the Making?Jaws: The Revenge has often been dismissed as a cinematic dud, a far cry from its predecessors, but in 2024 a reevaluation is in order. This underrated gem is a surprisingly enjoyable throwback to the 80s, packed with ch…
First, let me be transparent and ask: How do you quantify 30 years of friendship? It’s incredibly hard for me to find words to describe our personal relationship. I truly do believe that friendship is like wine over the passage of time. It bec…
Listen, when Producer Pete and I pulled up to the Alamo NYC, we had no idea what the hell a “Crumb Catcher” even was. The cast, crew and even Larry Fessenden popped in for some fried pickles (which I wish I had ordered). It real…
Truth be told, Larry Fessenden is one of my heroes. I had to play cool not to let on when we met for the interview. In my eyes, he’s the New York Roger Corman and John Cassavetes rolled into one. He has a living breathing testament to film his…
Vic is a great guy. That's first off. I really truly believe that he has a bright future ahead of him. He remains on the fringe like many other filmmakers that came before him. What ultimately happens is that most of these directors make a …
Look nothing will ever come close to the magic that Bob Clark committed to the screen in 1974’s Black Christmas. (or A Christmas Story for that matter) Black Christmas 2006 is the type of movie that a 14-year-old version of me wo…
I like Cursed for what it is. What is it? Well it’s a time capsule of 2003. If you were ever curious to visit, this is your opportunity. Cursed is a snapshot of very strange era in film. It’s the last big Dimension film be…
Truth be told, I listen to a lot of podcast. So these are shows that are definite recommends. They are the cream of the pumpkin crop. For a lot of us, Spooky Season is not just one month out of the year. We do this year round. So in no particular or…
R 1992 ‧David Fincher I still hate Alien³ all these years later. It’s drab, dingy, and largely uninteresting. It’s narrative is still upsetting after all these years. It’s a slap in the face to James Cameron and…
Cruising is a Horror film. Part Giallo, part slasher - it encapsulates the fear of serial killers in the late 70s and early 1980s. There is a stark difference to New York in 1979. It feels harsher and perhaps more savage. Gay men were being systemat…
No matter how much things change, history is sure to repeat itself. Exorcist: Believer is receiving a complete backlash of hatred from horror fans. Shockingly, I enjoyed Believer and I think as time passes it will only grow in popularity.Exorcist II…
This is the first time that Tim Burton kinda phones it in. It’s also where he falls off of an amazing winning streak. I’m well aware that he was rushed but what you commit to film is all that matters. The audience who paid 15 bucks for a…
