Fright House (1989)
Fright House isn’t a shitty movie. It’s two shitty movies in one. The first, called Fright House in a pre-meta meta way, is about devil worshippers covering up suicides. The second, Abaddon, is the worst version of Suspiria ever made. That’s not to say that the films aren’t without some charm. I just don’t want you thinking you’re […]
Shock (1977)
We went to see Blood and Black Lace in the theater a few weeks ago and there was a speaker before it. Maybe he was bad at speaking in public, but the guy said to everyone how the movie inspired Friday the 13th (I’d say A Bay of Blood versus that one) and how it had a different title. […]

I was super excited to be part of Horror and Sons’ “Fiends, Freaks, and Final Girls” series. There’s nothing I love better than trying to get more people to watch Trick or Treat. You can find the article right here at Horror and Sons!
Stagefright (1987)
There was a moment two minutes into this movie, when a slasher like scene turned into a Cats-like play, that my mind was blown. And there was a moment halfway through where a body was torn in two that I jumped off my couch, screaming, “Soavi, I love you!” There’s no other way to say it […]
Wild Zero (1999)
Wild Zero is not a movie. It is an experience, an in your face, melt your brain piece of pure crazy. The kind that makes my wife say, “Do we really own this?” Yes. We do. I’m going to buy it again just to have it twice. Ace is our hero, Guitar Wolf’s biggest fan. […]
Trick or Treats (1982)
A lot of movies got made after Halloween that sought to get some of its success. This is one of them, but according to friend of the site Bill Van Ryn of Groovy Doom, it’s also a remake of 1971’s Fright. Directed by Gary Graver, whose IMDB page is veritably packed with films like Sorceress, Sorceress II: The […]
Fascination (1979)
Jean Rollin was a master of the fantastique, the way that the French refer to a mixture of science fiction, horror and fantasy. What’s the difference between fantastique and fantasy? The former is more concerned with the intrusion of supernatural phenomena into an otherwise realist narrative. In this genre, the supernatural may be met with doubt, […]
Amuck! (1972)
Amuck! is a great title, but this is a movie that has a ton of great other titles –Alla ricerca del piacere (In Pursuit of Pleasure), Maniac Mansion, Leather and Whips and Hot Bed of Sex were also used and the working titles were Replica de un delitto (Repetition of a Crime) and Il passo dell’assassino (Footsteps of the Killer). No matter what name you […]
Fear No Evil (1981)
Fear No Evil, the 1981 directorial debut of Frank LaLoggia (who would also helm Lady in White and Mother), is all about Andrew Williams, a high school student who turns out to be Lucifer. That sounds simple. But this movie is anything but. First off, nearly every other student in this film is a complete miscreant. Andrew (Stefan Arngrim, […]
