Fatal Games (1984)
The Killing Touch. Olympic Nightmare. These are both great names, but they want with Fatal Games. If you watch this movie and think, is this Graduation Day, good news. You are not alone. Amazingly, this movie — a slasher from the late era of the genre — has never been released on DVD or blu ray. Give […]
Conspiracy Theory (1997)
Richard Donner made The Omen and Superman, so I have to cut him some slack sometimes. He also made The Goonies, Scrooged, the Lethal Weapon movies and The Toy. So yeah. I give him plenty of slack. It was written by Brian Helgeland, who started his career with 976-EVIL, which led to A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. He also […]
ANOTHER TAKE ON: Grave of the Vampire (1972)
As we wrote about back when we covered Dream No Evil, John Hayes began his career producing and directing short subjects and even appeared an actor in movies like The Shaggy D.A. and his own End of the World. The movies he directed included The Grass Eater, Five Minutes to Love, the incredibly named Jailbait Babysitter, the adult movies Pleasure Zone […]
Valley of the Dolls (1967)
I love this movie. I can’t deny it. I won’t say that it’s a guilty pleasure. I have no beliefs that this is a great movie or that it’s a classic. I just love it. I quote from it all the time. I wish that I could live in the world of the film. Jacqueline […]
ANOTHER TAKE ON: Guru the Mad Monk (1970)
The Church of Mortavia needs cash, so Father Guru does what he can, which means getting dead bodies for medical students to experiment on. This may mean stabbing churchgoers in the eyeball or working with vampires and hunchbacks. And while this is all supposedly set in the Middle Ages, it was really shot in New […]

Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Sleepy Hollow started with Kevin Yagher originally directing Andrew Kevin Walker’s script as a low-budget slasher film. He didn’t get along with Paramount, so he was demoted to prosthetic makeup and Tim Burton was brought in to direct. Ichabod Crane is played by Johnny Depp. Much like how his role in From Hell, he’s attempting to bring […]
