Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
This movie had two requests, one from James Greening and another from my cousin, Alexis Vardoulis. I’d been wanting to watch this for a long time, so I’m excited that these requests came in for more horror comedy movies, as they’re getting me to watch some movies I wouldn’t normally get to. Actually, that’s the […]
Ten Horror Movie Dogs
I love our two dogs. But they’re a horror show. If one isn’t licking something and puking, the other one is throwing up or pissing all over the floor. Oh no — one of them just chased a cat and smashed up the entire dining room! Yet we love them. We also love when man’s […]
The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
Pete Stein asked for this movie and I was happy to write about it. Hope he enjoys this. Created before Polanski’s U.S. debut, Rosemary’s Baby, this film was marketed by MGM as a farce, with twelve minutes cut from the movie, an animated prologue added, and both protagonists dubbed with cartoony and silly voices. This version […]
Student Bodies (1981)
My friend Patrick Murphy suggested this one, which was the first film to spoof slashers like Halloween, Friday the 13th and Prom Night. My favorite part of this silly movie is that every single time someone is killed, a helpful body count graphic appears on screen to inform you just how many people have been […]
The Monster Squad (1987)
This movie was requested by my friend for life Adam Cicco, the only person I know that could fall asleep during Independence Day, one of the loudest movies I’ve ever seen in a theater. That said, I dozed during an incredibly loud Fantomas show once, so I get it. The Monster Squad is a pre-teenager club […]
Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)
Joe Dante is one of my favorite directors of all time. It could be because he also grew up loving monsters, even writing for the zine Castle of Frankenstein before becoming a bona fide director. Or perhaps it’s all the Easter Eggs he puts in his films. It’s probably because each barely contains a lunatic zeal, […]
Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (2015)
Roger Braden suggested today’s movie and I would have never watched it otherwise. I’m glad he brought it to my attention. Check out his Facebook group Valley Nightmares, which is all about the history of the films that played at the drive-ins and theaters in his home state of Kentucky. He also writes from Drive-In […]
Love at First Bite (1979)
My buddy Destro on Twitter suggested this movie to me after the first week of Horror Comedy movies. I hope he digs that this got picked. George Hamilton has a way better tan than any Dracula ever, but that doesn’t mean the people of Transylvania love him. They kick him out of his castle to […]
Idle Hands (1999)
My friend and fellow Drive-In Asylum contributor James C. Greening suggested this late 90’s comedy horror film a few weeks back and I hope he likes this! If you want to relive the end of the last century — and listen to lots of pop punk — I figure this is the movie for you. After […]
My Name Is Julia Ross (1945)
After a successful start churning out Poverty Row quickies, Joseph H. Lewis directed My Name Is Julia Ross as his first film at Columbia. It established proved so popular that the studio soon promoted it to A-feature status. It’s a low budget film and only 64 minutes long, but it packs plenty of melodrama in its […]
