The Believers is a horror film that begins with the epitome of innocence and simplicity – milk being delivered right to the front door from a milkman in a truck. A real throwback to the past, right? Even though in 1987, when the movie was filmed, that wasn’t the standard means of getting milk. The […]
Sometimes, films purportedly based on “true events” don’t have to hinge on the supernatural or cryptozoologic to be horrific. Amityville II: The Possession has some horrific elements, but it essentially tells the story of Ronald DeFeo and his possible madness; the frightful images we see can easily be interpreted as what he saw in his own […]
In my last anthology review I mentioned that I dug them because the filmmakers get three chances to get at least on entry right, or the chance to entertain you. When that happens you don’t completely feel as though that the 90 minutes or so was wasted. There is the rare occasion when all the […]
The 1970s had a feel all of it’s own; the music, the cars, and certainly the films. We horror fanatics can rattle off a good-sized list of great flicks from that decade, from a plethora of Italian giallo films to such classics as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Black Christmas, The Exorcist, and Halloween, just to name a […]
Although the German expressionists like Wiene’s The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Murneau’s Nosferatu are milestones, it was the 1930s that brought about the first wave of truly popular horror; beginning with James Whale’s classic take on Frankenstein, horror movies hit their opening stride as crowd-pleasers, and more importantly to studios, money-makers. Soon, other classics were being churned […]
I love weird films. Sitting there watching some far out, crazy, fucked up plotline, with crazy visuals and some eccentric characters, even inanimate objects that are characters, is something I find strangely intriguing. Films like Naked Lunch, Chasing Sleep, Brain Dead, Session 9, or the more recent John Dies At The End, find a special […]
The 1980s was, of course, a bumper decade for we horror fans. There was the rise of the slasher flick, with Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers haunting our theaters every couple years, and nightmarish Freddy Kruger hit the scene in a successful franchise of his own. Tales From The Darkside, Friday the 13th: The Series, […]
We here at LeglessCorpse.com love the indie scene. We find it much more interesting writing about the more creative, unique, and passionate endeavors of these filmmakers over the mainstream shit like The Conjuring or Ocul-asses of the big budget fair.Every once in awhile we’ll come across a small diddy that has so much passion embedded […]
Those of you wonderful folks who actually read this stuff I post on here with any regularity already know that I’m a fan of bigfoot films. You also know that I’m one o’ those folks willing to give “found footage” a fair shake; besides The Lost Coast Tapes (which was kinda marginal), I’ve only seen one […]
I was lucky enough to be a kid (and a horror fan) back in the golden age of the local video store. As some of you will remember, there was nothing quite like that trip to your neighborhood rental place to browse through the shelves of the many varied flicks that were available that you’d never heard […]
I’m well-aware of the overwhelming preponderance of social media in our daily lives; I work for a website, and thus use social media outlets…I have a smart phone…still, I don’t spend an inordinate amount of time on either of these; I of course recognize the usefulness of such things, but still prefer old-fashioned communication whenever it’s possible. I’ve […]
Not having seen the Ford Brother’s THE DEAD, I had no idea what to expect from the sequel THE DEAD 2. Personally, for me, the zombie sub-genre is becoming a little old and nothing new is really going on within it. So I was a little jaded and prepared myself mentally, that sitting through this […]
Varsity Blood is a perfect fall movie to get you amped up for Halloween. It is about a sleepy town that has be touched by tragedy—the principal’s daughter died the previous Halloween. A serial killer has slunk into the midst of this little town and begins going on a rampage murdering high school students. And […]
Being horror fans, we can come up with a pretty decent list of places that one really, really wouldn’t wanna spend their free time. The Bates Motel, near Fairvale…Camp Crystal Lake, close to the Hope Township…The Myers’ place in Haddonfield…112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville…Elm Street in Springfield…the Hanniger Mine, Valentine Bluffs… What’s that? Some of you are unfamiliar with the […]
