Macabre (1980)
I love Mario Bava. I can’t say enough good things about the movies he’s made. His son Lamberto, however? Between Devilfish, Blastfighter, Delirium and Demons, his movies are a mixed bag with only the last one being a film I’d recommend (look, I love Blastfighter, but people usually think most of the movies I recommend are bonkers and I’ve […]
Enter the Devil (1972)
This regional oddity was written and directed by Houston native Frank Q. Dobbs. It has nothing to do with the other film that uses this title, which is better known as The Eerie Midnight Horror Show. Instead, it’s all about a woman who is doing a reference book on cults of the world, which leads […]
Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter (1966)
I’ll admit it. I cheated. Instead of watching this movie in its original form, I found a version that had Joe Bob Briggs do commentary. Unlike modern commentary tracks where bloggers and magazine writers try in vain to impress you with how cool and smart they are, Joe Bob just hangs back and blows your […]
Ten music videos with horror stars in them
Remember music videos? Well, once the bands you like used to have them on a channel called, get this, Music Tele Vision, or MTV. Now, you have to go to YouTube to see your favorite videos. Here are ten that feature your favorite horror movie characters, too. 1. “What’s This Life For” by Creed from Halloween […]
Messiah of Evil (1973)
The beauty of a Mill Creek box set is that amidst the dross, there are films of incredible power. Sure, you’ll suffer through old television shows, barely incomprehensible Spanish horror and video store era throwaway junk, but then you’ll be rewarded with a film like this. Messiah of Evil isn’t just a legendary once lost […]
Terror Tales (2016)
Writer-director Jimmy Lee Combs has brought together a cast of actors from films like Friday the 13th, Maniac Cop 1 & 2, The Crazies, Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs, Sleepaway Camp, Critters 2 and more for a new anthology horror movie. Michael awakens only to realize that he’s been taken by a gun […]
The Dark Power (1985)
My father, grandfather and uncle used to play this game when we had cookouts, late into the night, where they would list the initials of a famous actor and they’d all have to guess. Tom Mix, Rex Allen, Tex Ritter…the list would go on and on. Then there would be “LL” — who of course […]
Cathy’s Curse – Take Two! (1977)
This article originally appeared in Drive-In Asylum #12, which you can buy right here. It’s the second — and probably not the last — time I’ve talked about Cathy’s Curse, a movie that will own your very will to live. There has never before or since been a movie where pure evil finds its origin in a […]
The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014)
Alfonso Gomez-Rejon directing the movie Me, Earl and the Dying Girl probably wouldn’t make you think that he could knock it out of the park when it comes to horror. Seeing that this was produced by Jason Blum and Ryan Murphy (Gomez-Rejon also worked with the latter on the excoriable American Horror Story) isn’t something that would give […]
The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)
Keep in mind that this article has only run in one place, in a special issue of Drive-In Asylum that was a super limited edition giveaway at a weekend Mahoning Drive-In event. You can’t get it any longer, but you can grab every other issues at their online store! I don’t usually share the artwork that I do […]
