WEIRD WEDNESDAY: The Haunted Palace (1963)
Despite being marketed as Edgar Allan Poe’s The Haunted Palace, the story in this is really H.P. Lovecraft’s The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. It gets its title from a poem by Poe that would become part of The Fall of the House of Usher. Everyone in Arkham believes that Joseph Curwen (Vincent Price) is some […]
The Embalmer (1965)
Il mostro di Venezia (The Monster of Venice) is at once a giallo and an Italian Gothic; it’s a movie that, when I started watching, I immediately knew was meant for me. A skull-masked serial killer is swimming the canals of Venice, where he takes women, drowns them and then embalms their bodies so that […]
Never Talk to Strangers (1995)
The kids today get mad about sex scenes being in movies. Well, let me tell you, this 1995 erotic thriller has one of the wildest romance scenes I’ve ever witnessed, one that, frankly, kind of blows my mind and makes me like this film even more. Which means that yes, sex scenes can be good. […]

Siege of Terror (1970)
Nutty Frog wrote this description of the movie on IMDb and man, it’s so all over the place that I had to share it: “At the Grand Hotel in Miami, Carla falls into the arms of her husband, the eminent Dr. Warren, and confesses to having seen Nick, the man he killed in New York, […]

Jagged Edge (1985)
Man, Joe Eszterhas had the 80s neo-noir erotic thriller game all figured out. This is his first of the genre, but it’d be followed by Basic Instinct, Sliver, and Jade, which are three examples of this very American version of giallo. Jagged Edge was directed by Richard Marquand. Yes, the same man who directed Return of the Jedi. He […]
