Love it or hate it, to deny that THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT made a monumental impact on horror films, indie films, and pop culture as a whole in the ’90s and beyond, would just be someone blowing a big fat bag of hot air into a bullshit fantasy cloud of delusion; and I think that’s ..read more

Horror movie sequels, prequels, and remakes are a dime a dozen and in 2024, have become an overly saturated part of the genre. Sometimes it’s good, Sometimes, not so much. And sometimes the film even surpasses its predecessor in terms of quality. Recently, a local magazine in my hometown, Vegas Insider, ran a data analysis ..read more

To be a horror fan, and what’s more, a horror slasher fanatic in the year 1988 was probably peak orgasms for genre enthusiasts, and we had more than material in that year alone to make every one of us cream our jeans. Classics like THEY LIVE, CHILD’S PLAY, and KILLER KLOWNS IN OUTER SPACE touched ..read more

I’m almost certain that I hold the record on the horror blog Internet for writing the most pieces about HALLOWEEN 4– Dwight Little actually agrees with me– and it’s a crown I wear with pride as the Queen of Vincent Drug. To my surprise, however, I’ve never thrown in this little doozy of a retailer ..read more

In the banner year of 1985, 10 years after the initial blockbuster smash release of the holiest of shark films JAWS, I had seen thine shining light they call Bruce for the first time in my tiny life. I was three. THREE-FUCKING-YEARS-OLD. One could argue my Dad was a sadistic fuck in showing me what ..read more

I think it goes without saying Ghostbusters is a once-in-a-lifetime movie experience that can and never will be replicated, and a lot of that credit goes towards the special effects of the film. In 1984, this sort of visual sorcery wasn’t running rampant across filmmaking. With few exceptions like Star Wars and Poltergeist, (both of ..read more

First of all, how the hell has it been forty years? GHOSTBUSTERS opened on June 8, 1984 (alongside another classic horror comedy that starts with “G”, outlined by our fearless leader Patti Paultergeist) and is one of those magical movies that have transcended cinema to become a part of American culture. And beyond. What separates ..read more

Unfathomable to believe that GREMLINS hits their 40th anniversary this year, and with that comes four decades of dedicated loyalty to either Gizmo or the rebellious Stripe, (you like one better than the other, admit it). Stripe, technically an offspring of Gizmo, is that punk rock kid that blows his nose on your family room ..read more

Teen Witch is one of those movies from my childhood that no matter what I’m doing or how many times I’ve seen it, if it’s on the TV-you best believe I’m throwing my hair in a halfway side ponytail, grabbing my crystals and watching the shit out of it. Growing up, my inner-self bonded with ..read more
