J.D. Feigelson wrote the screenplay for the TV movie Dark Night of the Scarecrow more than forty years ago and now, it’s finally time for a sequel.

Chupacabra! Black-eyed children! The Oklahoma octopus! Rougarou! The Bell Witch! Jersey Devil! La Llorona! Wendigo! Mothman! Bigfoot!

Bad Girls from Mars (1990)

Passionate Revenge (1996)
Also known as Friend of the Family II, this Fred Olen Ray film was written by Henry Krinkle, who also wrote Night Eyes 4, which seems like decent training for this movie.

The Phantom Empire (1988)
The Phantom Empire is a very meta film. Its title refers to the 1935 Gene Autry movie serial — which was kind of remade as part of the show Cliffhangers! — as well as having Robby the Robot in its cast, Jeffrey Combs’ character Andrew Paris saying that he went to Miskatonic University (the same school […]
