Asking a horror fan what their favorite horror movie is is like asking a food critic what their favorite dish is; it all depends on the mood. Sometimes I’m in the mood for a complex psychological thriller and will throw on Jacob’s Ladder. Other times, I just want to see …

First things first… I’m not really a fan of musicals. However, there are a few exceptions. I first saw Frank Oz’s Little Shop of Horrors, released on December 19, 1986, as a child and I immediately fell in love with the film. It is an adaptation of the off-Broadway musical …

They say the classics never die, and that is true in the case of A Little Shop of Horrors which turns 60 in September 2020. A unicorn of its time in terms of quirky horror and creative, comedic drama, the timeless underground flick has been beloved for decades. A little …

Directed by Matthew John Lawrence (Larry Gone Demon 2015), Uncle Peckerhead shines a very different light on the semi-glamorous life of a touring musician. The film opens as Judy (a brilliant Chet Siegel: The Last Two People On Earth TV series), the lead singer/bass player of the group DUH, quits …

I’m an absolute sucker for musicals, especially ones that involve horror elements. Some of my favorites include The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Little Shop of Horrors, Sweeney Todd, Repo: The Genetic Opera, and The Phantom of the Paradise. Months ago, I saw the trailer for the Polish horror musical …

Back in 1975, Jim Sharman’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show changed the world’s idea of what a cult classic film could be. There’s no denying that this musical comedy has created an entire world of its own, with midnight screenings, costumes, singalongs and the most ludicrous audience participation ritual ever created.

The Devil’s Carnival is one of those films that you stumble upon. It is that old book in the attic you notice after living in the house for 10 years. I myself found it by scrolling through Netflix and it caught my eye. After reading the description, I felt compelled to …
