The Creature from the Black Lagoon (2954) is another one of our favorite. I know, I know they are ALL our favorites. Of course they are. That is what 31 Nights of Horror is all about! A collection of some of favorite movies that we watch every October. What is not to love about a rubber suited monster that terrorizes ... Read More »
Stephen King’s Needful Things (1993) is not a horror movie, per say. More of a thriller-drama. But it is one of our favorites. The story: Leland Gaunt comes to Sheriff Alan Pangborn’s pleasant little New England town, and opens a store. What this kindly Satan sells is whatever you need, from a surcease from pain to an object which you have ... Read More »
There are movies and then there are honest to good movies that are just so cheesy that you fall in love with them. The Monster of Phantom Lake (2006) is the fist film made by my friend, Christopher R. Mihm in Minnesota. He makes some of the coolest movies on the planet and Monster is one that will get you ...

It had been a while since Michele and I attended a movie at the theater. It is not only expensive–about fifty bucks for two tickets a couple popcorns and sodas, but the theater is almost an hour away from our house up here in Alaska. Sinister (2012) was a scary film. It is sort of like Paranormal Activity but not ... Read More »
Nosferatu is a staple in our yearly, 31 Nights of Horror. How could it not be? This silent films from 1921 really started the whole vampire craze that everyone loves today. Think about it, we would not have True Blood, Twilight, Buffy the Vampire Slayer or even good ol’ honest Abe as a vampire slayer if it wasn’t for Nosferatu. ... Read More »
The Ward (2010) was a film that I thought would be a good addition to the 2012 rotation of our 31 Night’s of Horror. It was made by the master of horror himself, John Carpenter. But The Ward fell short. It just wasn’t scary. The story was good enough. A group of misfit co-eds are sent to the looney bin ... Read More »
In 2009 some would say that Rob Zombie couldn’t live well enough alone when he released the second installment of his Halloween tale. Halloween 2 is much more graphic that the first and it starts out just where the last left off with Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton) walking down the street after (supposedly) killing “the shape”. Zombie has said that the ... Read More »
Being a child of the 1980s I grew up on the films of Haim and Feldman. Yep, that’s right the two Corey’s. The Lost Boys (1987) is one of my all time favorites. Set in the fictional California town of Santa Clara and known as the “murder capital of the world” because of it’s vampire infestation, The Lost Boys quite ... Read More »
I have said it before and I will say it again, the classic monster movies from Universal Studios are the best. The Wolf Man (1941) is one of those. It is a story about a man that is literaly looking for love in all the wrong places and is cursed the affliction that has scared countless teen-aged boys to death ... Read More »
On could hardly fathom a re-make of one of the greatest classics in modern horror, John Carpenter’s Halloween. But shock rocker and horror genius, Rob Zombie did and did it well. With the return of Michael Myers to the big screen in 2007, Zombie brought the story back to life in such a viseral way that left many moviegoers absent ... Read More »
