I always love short films because they can pack a big story into just 8-10 minutes. I still watch a lot of them, and I could piece very few together while still enjoying them. Let’s face it, some films were designed to attract you through a 2-hour runtime for a …

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is a movie that will always be in my heart. I still watch this film at least 20-30 times a year. It heals me, one big campy tale of an iconic killer with some humor and new characters. It’s more of a story with carnival tricks …

I have been in the punk rock scene for almost forty years. And I refuse to let that part of me go even in my middle age. There is something about the scene: you enter. And you get together with flying boots from stage divers and crowd killers in the …

I am so happy to be landing this review. Howard the Duck was a staple in my childhood in the ’80s. There are so many films to talk about, but the heavy hitters still give me goosebumps because of a traumatic childhood; I always needed a laugh even at a …

When I was 12, I found punk rock. I was constantly being harassed, and this music touched me. It made me feel good, insane. I remember how violent the bands were at the time. I may have come late in the game, but I haven’t turned my back since. The …

I distinctly remember the moments when I watched this film. It was my Mom and my bonding moment. Though Sometimes They Come Back, the book is a lot more detailed. Sometimes They Come Back aced the Stephen King-adapted films. I didn’t really know any of the sequels. I tended not …

I always enjoy a comedy horror, aside from the Scary Movie franchise. However, one movie that started to show me that zombies can be funny, like really funny. Return of the Living Dead II became one of my safety resources when life gets a little complicated. I believe everyone should …

Recently, I am a pretty emotional guy given the right situation. There are still some movies I cannot face the death scene in. I guess it’s more than a horror list; it’s a trauma piece. Sure, we will run with that. Let’s get into the list of moments that broke …
Read More »Trick or Trick? Douglas A. Plomitallo’s ‘HALLOWEEN CANDY’ (2025)
I love anthology films, it’s always amazing what someone can do even with a restricted time. They give you something fresh in every story, normally ending up in some kind of supernatural climax, normally meaning they are hiding in your home or somewhere dark to terrify you and lead you …

I had to put my foot in my mouth when I came into this movie. The plot seemed to pique my interest, and at first I asked why. A few moments into the voyage, there is always an eerie setting, even when the sunshine is a person who deals with …
