Puberty, man, what a frigging nightmare. So many changes in the body. Complete with raging hormones, it’s a horror show in and of itself. Well, for one high school dude, puberty brings on a whole hell of a lot of howling trouble. Aroo! Aroo! Arooooooo! ...

Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin are going to be BFFs until the end of time. At least, that’s the plan until it all goes incredibly insane thanks to the wicked antics of Culkin’s bratty character in 1993’s The Good Son. Culkin, who was all of 12 years old at the time, finds himself ...

Holy fucking meat cleavers, Iris! This shit is bananas. Want to see a body hacked to pieces and then shoved into a bathtub of acid? Want to see a severely bloody disembowelment for true love? Want to then see a person cram a sort of messy beef stew into her mouth afterward? ...

God, I have missed this movie. Slither has long been my go-to movie when folks I encounter have questions about the often-misunderstood horror-comedy subgenre. This is highly quotable material and it goes for broke in its commitment to entertain as the zingers and its ...

It will go down as the movie in which Godzilla becomes truly terrifying (and a bit satirical). There’s no fist pumping moments in this one, folks. Godzilla is pissed the fuck off and all of Hell itself is unleashed to punish us, the transgressors ...

Imagine, if you will, a world in which a horror movie is made with the single objective to catch the killer the movie is about. No, it’s not a premise to an episode of The Twilight Zone. It is, in fact, what happened with 1971’s The Zodiac Killer at screenings in San Francisco, ...

“Put it down, Judge! Put it down!” With that command, the first murder in Don’t Look In The Basement occurs. Already we’ve been introduced to a mad woman who thinks a baby doll is, in fact, her real baby, a grown man who behaves like a child, a sergeant still at war ...

Sick! Sick! Sick! I love it, though, I really do. Bag Boy Lover Boy is a downward spiral of psycho exploitation into cannibalism as one hot dog vendor on the Lower East Side dabbles with his talents and creates something new. The gooey results of this low budget affair are ...

Everybody out of the desert! Huh?! Bubbling up from the ground and spilling down canyon cliff walls, there’s a crawling brown mass of sticky ticky fist-sized monsters with fangs full of venom headed this way. These spiders are incredibly pissed off, too. First, they come ...

Thank you, Vinegar Syndrome, for this fun reminder of just how awesome the comedies from the 1980s were! My Chauffeur, even if we know its destination, is one heck of a joyous ride through the streets of yesteryear. Complete with non-PC cameos from Penn & Teller ...

Star Crystal, with its point of origin stemming from the bad end of 1986, is as useful as liquid flatulence. If this is what happens in 2035 on the surface of Mars, then I hope I’m long gone. Because I. Just. Can’t. ...

Lesbians in space! Well, maybe, I mean – at least – the women do a lot of talking about it. So, yeah, Star Slammer (aka Prison Ship) definitely teases zero gravity space sex with the nastiest of Hollywood Hookers. Unfortunately (or...), it can only deliver on hokey hip-shaking ...

I originally saw this b-movie under the creepy title of Cemetery Girls. And, yes, there are quite a few girls in it – Karen (Kaydee Politoff), Senta (Rosanna Yanni), Marlene (Ingrid Garbo), and Elke (Mirta Miller) – that Dracula gets to “taste” as they succumb to their new roles as his ...

Writer/director/actor/producer Larry Fessenden is still a dark apocalyptic mystery to me and, if I am being honest, I appreciate him for that. He’s an artist who prefers to work outside of the studio system. His films are personal and deeply moving; they also deserve a far wider ...

With more tits and ass than actual plot, Hollywood Boulevard is probably one of producer Roger Corman’s goofiest films. We know it was his cheapest. That was the agreement made when (then) editors Joe Dante and Allan Arkush presented him with their idea for a movie to ...

There’s a cave in the dense forest at the center of this movie. A deep, dark hole where a man in a shirt and ripped pants, baseball hat and all, looking very much like a truck driver, sits … IN A ROCKING CHAIR. There’s a campfire next to him. He’s been eating something. Well ...

Because there is an art to murder. That’s why the films of Dario Argento continue to register with audiences. His films – no matter how brutal or kitschy – are beautiful portraits of horrible things. To merely describe one of the director’s films does so much of what he is capable ...

Writer/director Charles B. Pierce (The Town that Dreaded Sundown, The Legend of Boggy Creek) really likes small town horror. I don’t disagree with his tastes either. I live in a small town – with no local police department – and, let me tell you, some of my neighbors, well ...

“Mind the doors!” One of the most absolutely terrifying scenes in underground horror occurs about 30 minutes into Death Line (aka Raw Meat). In a dingy, unused space of the London Underground network, we hear a bizarre moaning sound. Maybe it’s sobbing. The camera ...

The theatrics of actor Paul Naschy made him an unstoppable tidal wave of terror in the genre. Horror, as seen through the eyes of this legend, was quite expressive and always lurid. It’s easy to see why he was considered, among his many legions of fans, to be the ...

"The hell with radiation. Let's go." This right here, where horror and space travel had one of their silliest hook-ups, is probably the only safe place to be in the solar system … when plants attack. The Angry Red Planet is finally getting some respect and, honestly, it is about damn time ...
