I always try to go at any film respecting the time that it was made; granted, that’s not always easy, but otherwise, it would be near-impossible to enjoy classics like Nosferatu, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, or even later films like Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Thing from Another World, […]
Fairytales are the stuff born of nightmares; I think it’s pretty safe to say that such cautionary morality stories were one of the primary forerunners of the modern horror film. Spirits, “little people”, goblins and long-leggedy beasties…I can’t come up with a single fright film out of the many that I’ve seen that doesn’t have […]
The eighties was the heyday of the slasher flick; I mean, c’mon; on the heels of Carpenter’s Halloween at the close of the ’70s, you had a virtual gold mine of hack ‘n’ slashes that followed. Friday the 13th, My Bloody Valentine, Terror Train, Prom Night, Bloody Birthday; the list could go on for pages. […]
Fifteen years after it all began, a full six of those years being since we had been given Phantasm II, we were again invited to delve into the mysteries of the Tall Man and his ilk. Dan Coscarelli and company cast off the yoke of a big studio and returned to the smaller-budget, fan-oriented roots […]
After Michael but before Jason, horror cinema had another psychotic pop up on the radar; he was more akin to Norman Bates of old than either of these two chronologically closer contemporaries (at least in terms of motivation), but his methodology and what we were to witness was such that he could hold his own […]
While other kids eagerly waited for Saturday morning cartoons to begin, I scoured the TV guide hoping and praying that some scary flick would be playing. The 80’s would inevitably always be the Mecca for B-rated horror films. They were the type of films that at times you hated to love, but were always eager […]
The Fog (1980) The modern “ghost story” is pretty convoluted now. In these days of Paranormal-What-The-Hell-Ever on every television station and found footage flicks with ghosts cropping up about every six weeks, the classical rendition of a true haunted house or vengeful spirit is becoming passé. I’m not saying that they aren’t out there, but […]
I remember how excited I was as a kid seeing this trailer. This is one of the most out of place sequels of the series, but also one of the most original.
Who didn’t like the 80′s horror classic ‘Night Of The Creeps’ Enjoy this fun clips and let us know what you thought of this 80′s B flick in the comments section.
People that read my reviews soon learn one inescapable fact: I love bad movies. I love good movies too…but there’s something somehow comforting about curling up late one night with a flick like Blood Freak or Killer Clowns From Outer Space. I’m not saying there’s not a line there where a bad movie is just […]
Great poster art from the 1980 classic horror flick “Blood Beach”
“I, Madman” was released in 1989 by Trans World Pictures. Directed by Tibor Takács and starred Jenny Wright in the lead role and visual effects artist Randy Cook as the villain. This was one of those great 80′s films with cool makeup effects, and a dark noir atmosphere. If you haven’t checked out this gem […]
Cellar Dweller was one of the coolest monsters of the 1980′s. The movie was released in 1988 and was directed by John Carl Buechler, who also created the monster and FX in the film. It was also produced by Don Mancini creator of Child’s Play and Chucky Doll.
