Tomb of Terror (2004)
Sure, we have a Full Moon Week coming up, but there are definitely two different ideas behind what the studio is. Are they the America Filmirage, making low budget horror that looks decent and is way better than the money spent would suggest? Or are they the studio that knocks out inferior sequel after sequel, […]
Quicksilver Highway (1997)
It was a smart idea to take a story by Stephen King — “Chattery Teeth” — and Clive Barker — “The Body Politic” — and turn it into a portanteau. Oddly, the whole idea came about because of agents. Creative Artists Agency met with Garris about writing the pilot script for a John McTiernan-directed horror […]
Xiao Hun Yu (1979)
Return of the Dead is a Shaw Brothers horror anthology in which three patients in a mental hospital — hey it worked for Asylum — tell their stories. In the first story, a family who owns a bean curd farm get an amulet with three monkeys that can give any wish. Yes, The Monkey’s Paw works in […]
Escapes (1986)
This shot on video anthology film was chopped up and played in between shows on the Sci-Fi Network, when that was a thing before SyFy. So if one of these stories sounds familiar to you, that could be why. Vincent Price plays the mailman and host of these stories, as a man opens a package […]
Troublesome Night 3 (1998)
I have OCD really bad, I think. I mean, why else would you write about forty horror anthology films in one week? Here’s where it really kicks in: there are twenty Troublesome Night movies and I will never rest until I see every one of them. I will be a ghost, like in these films, forever […]
Cradle of Fear (2001)
Do you like and/or know who Cradle of Filth is? Then you may/may not care about this movie, which features nearly everyone from the band’s Midian era lineup, as well as placing leader Dani Filth into a role that connects all of the stories. It was written and directed by Alex Chandon, who had directed […]
Body Bags (1993)
Showtime was looking for Body Bags to be their Tales from the Crypt, yet the plug was pulled after just three episodes. That’s a shame because this show had some great talent behind it. I mean, John Carpenter hosting and directing along with Roc Hooper? Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. “The Gas Station” may as well […]
Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders (1996)
This movie might start with Ernest Borgnine as a grandfather telling his grandchild two stories of Merlin opening a magic shop like a page from The Princess Bride, yet this ends up being a horror movie more than something to watch with your kids. Jonathan and Madeline Cooper are a married couple that have been […]
Troublesome Night 2 (1997)
The second in this series of 19 — 19! — films starts with Anita (Amanda Lee, House of Mahjong) mourning the death of her boyfriend and calling DJ Cheung Fat (Allen Ting, who is in the first three of this series), who jokes that maybe she should kill herself if she misses him so badly. […]
