There are many things to talk about when we talk about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Many fixate on Leatherface, and rightly so. He’s one of the most recognizable slashers in horror cinema, but also the one that evokes the most empathy. How can you hate a man who obviously has mental issues? He is clearly […]

I know, I know. I’m a day late on this. Sorry. Day 27 will be coming later today. But, for now, we have Scream. This brought the well-known (although not totally accurate) slasher rules to the masses. It also somehow launched a new horror franchise with a new killer, all while making fun of the […]
I know I am not alone in saying that this is my favorite Universal Monster movie, and there’s not really a challenger for that title. Sure, I like all of them, and, while the original Frankenstein is in second place, it’s a pretty distant second. It’s perfect. The atmosphere is great (the scene of The […]
Lace your boots up, kiddies. We’re getting down to it. We’re only a week away from Halloween. Time to get serious. While Freddy gained more personality as the series went on (New Nightmare being the obvious exception), this first film still has the ability to creep me out. Freddy isn’t a one-man quip-machine: he’s a […]
It’s not a perfect movie, but I love it a little more every time I watch it. It has a great premise: the slasher in an obscure movie (The Dark Beneath, which is pretty much Texas Chainsaw Massacre with hints of Psycho) is able to leave the confines of the film, grab unsuspecting viewers, pull […]
Original vs. Remake? That’s a debate that rages throughout the horror community. The general consensus is that the original is better. I tend to fall on that side of things myself. Even when I like a remake (which happens quite often), I still usually prefer the original. I don’t have a long history with horror, […]
So far, this week has found new and creative ways to keep me busy, so I apologize for the tardiness (sorry Abed). Let’s get to it. After last week’s action/zombie-filled bloodbath, I knew we were due for a bit of a letdown. How do you follow up an episode like “No Sanctuary”? It’s hard to […]
The Best Night of the Year by Gerald Dean Rice It’s that time of year again! October is my favorite month, and The Best Night of the Year delivers three spooky short tales of Halloween horror. Synopsis: The Best Night of the Year contains 3 tales of terror from the author of Fleshbags. Two police […]
Did you all like when I wrote about Dracula 3D then disappeared for a while? What? You didn’t like that? My bad. To apologize, let’s watch Tucker & Dale vs. Evil: a different look on the murderous redneck genre. In this film, we follow the lovable Tucker and Dale as they fix up their new […]
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 […]
