31 Days of Horror Day 29: Severance

A British horror comedy about a work retreat held in a remote cabin in Hungary.  The fear of bears is real, but they soon realize something more sinister is lurking in the trees.  Is their cabin really an old mental institution, or is that just a story? I love this movie.  It’s a comedy, but […]

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 2: Ghostbusters

I swear not all of my picks will be mid-to-late 80s horror comedy.  But it’s still early in October.  It’s still a little warm outside.  We have to ease into Halloween season. Like The Burbs, this is another film from that era that holds up remarkably well.  It’s still really funny, and there are some […]
