31 Days of Horror Day 20: Dracula 3D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just kidding. Don’t watch this movie. It caused Dusty to question his sanity. It cause Shawn to refer to Dario Argento as “Nature’s Greatest Monster”. (You should read both of those articles.  Shawn’s is a great rundown of why he doesn’t like Argento, and mine is still one of my favorite things I’ve ever […]

31 Days of Horror Day 19: Quarantine

There isn’t much I like less than hearing people prattle on about Peyton Manning.  One of those people currently engaging in this is Bob Costas.  Needless to say, I hit mute on my TV and decided to say a few words about Quarantine. I know it’s a divisive movie (with it being a remake of […]

31 Days of Horror Day 18: Oculus

I know there are quite a few people who don’t really care for this movie, but I absolutely loved it.  I love how it plays with the uncertainty of reality for the characters.  What is real?  What is an illusion?  Oculus walks this tightrope the majority of the time, and they do a really good […]

31 Days of Horror Day 17: The Cabin in the Woods

Hey guys.  Let’s get real for a second.  This week has been really stressful.  Work has been crazy.  And, on top of these 31 Days of Horror posts and the return of The Walking Dead, I have also been keeping myself busy with my work at Packer Update.  All of that means I’ve been writing […]

31 Days of Horror Day 16: The Conjuring

I almost gave up on this movie within the first 10 minutes.  You remember those 10 minutes, don’t you?  It was the Warrens recapping a case they had involving a possessed doll.  The people were able to tell it was possessed even though it totally looked like a normal doll.  Not even a little bit […]

31 Days of Horror Day 15: Behind the Mask

This is one of my favorite modern horror movies.  I’m a sucker for movies that show a well-known story from a different perspective (Colin and Tucker & Dale vs. Evil are other favorites of mine in this vein), and this one absolutely nails it. If you’ve ever talked to me about slasher films, chances are […]

31 Days of Horror Day 14: Return of the Living Dead

Let’s do another zombie movie, shall we?  I really should have done this after Night of the Living Dead, seeing as how it’s an indirect sequel.  Oh well. I didn’t love this movie immediately.  Coming from Romero’s films, it’s a different kind of zombie movie.  It has fun with the idea of zombies.  They run. […]

31 Days of Horror Day 13: Shaun of the Dead

That’s two depressing movies in a row.  Let’s lighten things up a bit while still keeping it within the zombie family, yeah?  To do while, we’ll go with Edgar Wright’s zombie comedy, Shaun of the Dead. This movie is perfect.  It’s not a parody of the genre, but a loving homage to it.  The difference […]

31 Days of Horror Day 12: Night of the Living Dead

I was talking about Lake Mungo with a friend of mine on Facebook, and she mentioned how sad that movie is.  Like, soul-crushingly sad.  We’re basically watching a documentary about a close-knit family who tragically lost a family member, and we see them deal with the loss in their own way.  It’s a heartbreaking character […]

31 Days of Horror Day 11: Lake Mungo

I saw this movie for the first time last night.  My experience with the Afterdark Horrorfest series (AKA 8 Films to Die For) has been a mixed one.  I’ve only seen a handful of them, but most of them could simply be described as mediocre.  Some were slightly better or slightly worse, but they all […]
