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)
Like last year, I wanted to do a wrap-up ranking my favorite horror movies of the year just past. Unlike last year, I didn’t have as much time to see quite as many new horror films as I would have liked, though I still managed to get my list to twenty films that I really … More My Twenty Favorite Horror Films of 2025
I know I haven’t been posting on here much lately, but that’s mostly because I’ve been busy with work, and also because I’ve been trying to take in as many 2025 horror flicks as possible with a view to doing another massive, year-end top twenty like I did for 2024. But as the holidays are … More Movies: The Sacrifice Game (2023)
Most horror fans with knowledge of the classics will have likely heard of the 1945 British anthology film Dead of Night, which was not only one of the very few horror films to come out of the UK in the 1940s, but was massively influential in the horror anthology subgenre going forward. In addition to … More Movies: Dead of Night (1945)
It’s getting toward the end of the year, and with a view to doing another “best horror of 2025” list like the one I did in 2024, I’ve been watching some new films that I’ve seen recommended here and there in the horror community. And that’s how I came upon the Norwegian film The Ugly … More Movies: The Ugly Stepsister (2025)
Australian brothers Danny and Michael Philippou burst onto the horror scene back in 2022 with their excessively hyped (and admittedly pretty excellent) supernatural horror film Talk To Me, which had the community abuzz and seemingly heralded the arrival of some notable new talent in the horror genre. I actually really liked Talk To Me, though … More Movies: Bring Her Back (2025)
