If you’re anything like me, your childhood wasn’t always about being active. At times your brain was probably turned to sludge by TV programs — perhaps permanently corrupted by immoral, putrid garbage. Honestly, I have some fond memories of this phenomenon myself. On that note, here’s a list of some of the …

Final Destination has become a household name in the horror society, with its one-of-a-kind kills and a highly successful film franchise. However, we’re going to go back to where it all started, 17 years ago, to the original 2000 film where we learned that death doesn’t take no for an answer. …

The basis for most horror films is the fight between good and evil. Sometimes the good guys prevail while other times they are not so lucky. In 1995, this concept took on a new meaning when our old pal the Crypt Keeper returned to bring us a full feature-length film. …

Boy notices girl, boy starts to videotape girl, boy sets up cameras everywhere in her apartment and watches her every move. These are the typical ways a boy wins a girls heart, right? Just kidding. However, in 2007’s Alone With Her, they made stalking look easy. Let’s take a look …

Night of the Demons is a horror cult classic that is just as entertaining today as it was back in 1988 when it was released. I recently bought the Blu-ray of the original as well as the remake and decided it would be fun to do a comparison article. It …

The atrocities of the Nazi regime have been prime fodder for horror and exploitation films since 1969 when director Lee Frost unleashed Love Camp 7. On the one hand, you have trashy “Nazisploitation” films such as Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS and Gestapo’s Last Orgy, which focus on sexual …

Audrey II turns 30! Released 30 years ago on December 19, 1986, Little Shop Of Horrors brought us catchy music, an all-star cast, and a weird but wonderful story. The first time I saw this movie, I immediately downloaded the soundtrack, and to this day, Little Shop of Horrors is still …

My love for foreign horror started back in 2003 when I rented the French thriller High Tension (AKA Haute Tension) with a girl I was dating at the time and dying to see if it would live up to the hype. I was taught one major thing from this gem and that was how boundary-less …

Who is The Mad Monster? Is it the slow-witted gardener injected with wolfman serum by a mad scientist? Or is it the mad scientist himself? I’d do with the latter option. After all, the gardener (Glenn Strange) as a human is essentially harmless, and as a wolfman, he is like …
