CABIN IN THE WOODS review Although it ain’t no AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, CABIN IN THE WOODS is a clever, fun twist on probably the most overused staple in the horror genre (its title). The [...]

POLTERGEIST (1982) review Do you want to know how good Poltergeist is? I had no desire to get up and go to the bathroom while watching it. I could've paused the  Blu-ray player at any time, [...]

ED WOOD review

ED WOOD review I decided not to do a horror film for last night's Halloween Marathon, but instead, watch my favorite Tim Burton flick ED WOOD. It would have been easy to make a movie [...]

DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS (1971) review I've seen DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS four times now (three times on VHS), but I watched it on Blu last night and it was absolutely stunning. A weird, perverse tale of [...]
