John Carpenter should need no introduction to anyone reading this, but the movie we’re talking about today just might. Made for TV just before the filming of Halloween began in 1978, and broadcast on NBC a couple of weeks after Halloween hit theaters, Someone’s Watching Me! (also known as High Rise) was for a long … More Movies: Someone’s Watching Me! (1978)
A few weeks back on a livestream, one of our listeners recommended a movie called Shock Treatment, which I initially thought referred to the 1981 film of the same name that was a loose “sequel” to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. But nope, they said; this one was from 1964 and had Roddy McDowall in … More Movies: Shock Treatment (1964)
Regular readers of this blog will likely remember the name of British author Alan Golbourn, as I’ve reviewed three of his previous books (after he was kind enough to send them to me): The 666 Murders, The Cult From Beyond, and The Last Breath Before Death. Recently, Alan contacted me again and offered an ARC … More Books: From Under the Stairs by Alan Golbourn
So during a livestream a week or two ago, someone made a comment that they had found our channel through one of my giallo movie reviews, and that maybe it was time for me to do another one. Realizing that it had indeed been entirely too long since my last foray into the genre (the … More Movies: Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975)
Author Seann Barbour should be no stranger to visitors of this site, as I’ve previously reviewed two of his earlier novellas (2023’s The Last Day and 2024’s The Maw). Seann recently contacted me again to offer a review copy of his latest work, It Came from the Floodwaters, which will be published on Friday, March … More Books: It Came from the Floodwaters by Seann Barbour
I’ve mentioned it a time or three, but I love me a good 1970s made for TV horror movie. Recently, I was recommended one I’d never heard of before, Curse of the Black Widow, which first aired on ABC in September of 1977 (and was rerun in 1979 under the infinitely dumber title Love Trap). … More Movies: Curse of the Black Widow (1977)
Okay, so how the hell did I manage to sleep on this flick for so long?!? I remember it getting a ton of buzz and praise and awards when it came out way back in 2014 (more than a decade ago now; Jesus, I’m old), and I think I’d always planned on getting around to … More Movies: Nightcrawler (2014)
Returning to our Night Gallery breakdown, we’ve now arrived at season 2, episode 15, another installment with three stories, two of which are decent and one of which is…well, decidedly less decent, let’s put it that way. The first tale, “Green Fingers,” was directed by John Badham, who would go on to direct Saturday Night … More Revisiting Night Gallery: Season 2, Episode 15 – “Green Fingers/The Funeral/The Tune in Dan’s Café”
Another 2025 film I’d heard a bit of buzz about but didn’t get around to seeing before my year-end wrap-up was the summer camp horror Marshmallow, directed by Daniel DelPurgatorio (Tales of the Black Freighter) and written by Andy Greskoviak, who also penned the screenplay for the 2021 horror comedy Black Friday, which starred the … More Movies: Marshmallow (2025)
As I alluded to in my previous post about my twenty favorite horror movies of 2025, I had made a big list of films I wanted to see before the end of the year to judge if any of them were in contention, but I just ran out of time. One of these movies was … More Movies: A Desert (2025)
