THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 18: Triangle (2009)
18. A Death March Horror Film (a group of people go on a trip and slowly get killed one by one, but keep moving). I had no idea what to expect out of this movie. The poster gave me The Town That Dreaded Sundown vibes and that’s never a bad thing. Yet for some reason, I […]
2022 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 18: Hard Boiled (1992)
18. SO MUCH DEATH: The R.I.P. section has been very active this year so today watch a movie with a high body count. 307 people get killed in this movie. It’s like John Woo looked at the most violent gun culture movies of the U.S. and was like, I can do this so much better. After […]
TUBI ORIGINAL: The Final Rose (2022)
Jess (Christina Masterson) is a single mother who has been picked to be a contestant on Love at Last, which is The Bachlor. Meanwhile, a disco ball-masked killer is taking out all of the other contestants. Directed by Tim Cruz — who wrote it with Blake Rutledge — The Final Rose does a fun job of […]

Robert Toulon (Corey Feldman) is the great-grandnephew of André Toulon. He and his daughter Alexandra (Danielle Keaton) now have the puppets and bring them to life on Christmas Eve, which leads […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 17: We’re Going to Eat You (1980)
17. A Horror Film From the Hong Kong New Wave(1979-1984). Did Italian horror cinema have an influence on director Tsui Hark? Well, between the title of this movie — which comes from the tagline for Zombie — and the fact that it stole its soundtrack from Suspiria, I would say yes. There’s also a fair bit taken […]
2022 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 17: Boogeyman II (1983)
17. THE VIDEO NASTY: Watch one of the 72 banned in the UK. And we thought the PMRC was tough… It’s been one of my goals to check off every single one of all three of the video nasty lists. You can check the progress at Letterboxd and write-ups on sections one, two and three. Ulli […]
SLASHER MONTH: Death Valley (1982)
Wilfred Brimley was two years young than me when he made this movie and that’s kind of screwing me up right now. Paul Stanton (Edward Herrman) has sent his son Billy (Peter Billingsly) into going to California to meet up with his mother Sally (Catherine Hicks) and her boyfriend Mike (Paul Le Mat) who are […]
Exclusive interview with Matt Farley of Motern Media
An American filmmaker, musician and songwriter who has released over 23,000 songs — probably more by the time you read this — Matt Farley is a creative giant that you may not know but totally should. I discovered him through his films and was stunned that his phone number appeared in the autobiographical Local Legends. Our […]

Directed by Charles Band and written by C. Courtney Joyner and David Schmoeller, the eighth Puppet Master movie takes us back to the Bodega Bay Inn where rogue agent Maclain (Kate Orsini) is reading the diary of André Toulon. I should write she was, as it soons goes up in flames. In the basement, she finds Eric […]
