Blood Bath (1976)
Man, ever since I’ve obsessed over Night Train to Terror, I’ve been searching for a movie that has the same absurdist edge and amateurish energy that feels like a million monkeys had been working a million hours in a million room’s worth of typewriters and this is the alien manuscript that they delivered to us. What […]
Chillers (1987)
By all rights, a 1987 Troma anthology film should be the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but about midway through Chilers, I felt some level of awe. I was actually enjoying something from my least favorite studio, one that makes Full Moon look like Orson Welles before Hollywood kicked him in the dick. Now, is it […]
Grim Prairie Tales (1990)
The advantage of a horror anthology is that you can afford James Earl Jones when you’re only using him for a day or so. That’s the trick of Grim Prarie Tales, which as far as I know is the only all-western horror anthology. Writer/director Wayne Coe often worked as a storyboard artist (Se7en, Dead Man on Campus) before […]
Eerie Tales (1919)
Unheimliche Geschichten was made by Richard Oswald, the director of a hundred or more movies, including the 1917 adaption of The Picture of Dorian Gray. This definitely has an interesting connecting story, as a demon, a reaper and the ghost of a prostitute read several short stories. Yes, Death, the Devil and the Harlot literally step out […]
3 A.M. (2012)
Made in Thailand by directors Patchanon Tummajira, Kirati Nakintanon and Isara Nadee, this film takes its title from the time that the supernatural happens. In “The Wig,” sisters May and Mint are running the family wig business while their parents travel. They unknowingly buy the hair of a dead woman whose spirit begins to haunt […]
Trilogy of Terror (1968)
No, not that Trilogy of Terror. This Brazilian movie creates new versions of stories that appeared on the TV series Além, Muito Além do Além (Beyond, Much Beyond the Beyond): “O Acordo” (The Agreement), “A Procissão dos Mortos” (Procession of Dead), and “Pesadelo Macabro” (Macabre Nightmare). In the first segment, “O Acordo” (The Agreement), a mother […]
Horrific (2004)
This is less an anthology film than an attempt to take old Full Moon movies, edit them down and make them into a whole new movie. If you’ve added the same Full Moon movie to your collection because of repackaging, congratulations! You’re one of us! 2000’s Prison of the Dead has been edited down to become […]
The Return (2020)
One of the many rules of horror that I use to guide my everyday life is that if you get a house in a will, do not go back to your hometown to settle the estate. You will face the supernatural at best, die if you’re lucky or end up in Hell if things go […]
