Blood Tracks (1985)
Imagine The Hills Have Eyes, but in a skiing lodge, with a hair metal band. It stars Easy Action, the first Swedish band to ever get a worldwide record deal, which is a fact on their Wikipedia page that kind of smells fishy. Abba? The band split up in 1986, a year after this effort, when […]
Slasher Top Tens: Sam Panico
After everyone has had a chance to share their ten favorite slasher films, I’ve finally decided to take my turn. I’ve watched a couple hundred, according to our Letterboxd B&S About Slashers list, so I certainly have plenty to choose from. I should pretty much have entitled this “How Slasher Movies Ruined My Life,” as […]
Slasher top tens: Lana Revok
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lana Revok is the curator of STARTS TODAY!, a collection of vintage movie newspaper advertisements which can be found on Twitter. Her ads have also been featured in DRIVE-IN ASYLUM, SCARY MONSTERS and TEEN MOVIE HELL. Here are my top ten favorite slashers. It was hard to narrow it down to ten so […]
Theatre of Blood (1973)
Douglas Hickox, who also directed this film, was the director of one of my favorite TV movies, Blackout. This is yet another — that’s not a bad thing — Vincent Price film where he’s done wrong and must avenge himself through increasingly odder crimes. This go around, he plays Shakespearean actor Edward Kendal Sheridan Lionheart, who […]
2019 Psychotronic Scarecrow Challenge: Day 31: The Brotherhood of Satan (1971)
Day 34 The Gold Watch: One set in a retirement home or elderly community (or elderly Satanic coven) You’d think I would have learned by now to research a film on B&S Movies before I write a review. Hey, it’s an L.Q Jones project and you can never, ever get enough of the very cool […]
Honeymoon Horror (1982)
I kind of love the copy that was used to sell this movie: “Imagine every newlywed’s fantasy, a rustic secluded lover’s paradise — Honeymoon Island. What starts as a weekend of love, turns into a nightmare of blood and terror for three young innocent couples. What lurks in the shadows of Honeymoon Lodge? Is it […]
2019 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge: Day 31: Homebodies (1974)
Day 31 The Gold Watch: One set in a retirement home or elderly community For next year’s 2020 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge, one of the days should be “H.B.O Exposed: Movies you first saw in the ‘80s on H.B.O.” Where would I begin: A Little Romance, Breaking Glass, The Great Santini, Hot Stuff, One Trick Pony, […]
Iced (1988)
Sometimes, slashers go into the winter. This would be one of those times. This was directed by Jeff Kwitny, who also directed Lightning In a Bottle, Illegal Alien and Beyond the Door III, which is also known as Death Train and has nothing to do with any of the other Beyond the Door films. I mean, that’s par for the […]
Two Evil Eyes (1990)
Two Evil Eyes is a very personal movie to me. It was filmed when I was 18, in my hometown of Pittsburgh, by two of the greatest minds to ever work in horror, George Romero and Dario Argento, who also brought along Luigi Cozzi and Tom Savini to aid and abet. It’s an anthology film […]
Psychotronic Challenge 2019 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge: Day 31: American Gothic
DAY 31. THE GOLD WATCH: One set in a retirement home or elderly community. A fitting wrap-up, eh? John Hough quietly has become one of my favorite directors to seek out. His Hammer effort, Twins of Evil, is one of the best late era films that the studio would make, the perfect blend of Hammer’s […]
