Ghouls Across America episode 5
Episode 5 of Ghouls Across North America is here! The guys are still in Pennsylvania, and pay a visit to their pal Bill Van Ryn, who gives them a tour of Drive-In Asylum and Groovy Doom HQ, along with a bit of history on the two. Evans City, PA is the next stop, where they […]
Trhauma (1980)
Back when he was a child, The Being — the bad guy in this movie who has that name because there’s no way the creators of this film didn’t see Halloween and say, we need The Shape — was made fun of for his white eyeball-less eye and then fell out of a tree. That’s the […]
Obsession: A Taste for Fear (1988)

He’s also known for Iguana with the Tongue of Fire, The Horrible Dr. Hichcock and The Ghost. Before Michael became an […]

His two additions to the genre as a director, Hotel Fear and The Perfume of the Lady In Black, are both movies that descend into insanity and grapple with the issues of their female protagonists being abused until they violently turn the tables on their tormentors. He also […]
