Killer Santa flicks are pretty much a dime a dozen (hell, I just discussed one from 2022 a couple of days ago), but the one we’re talking about today, To All a Goodnight, has a few aspects that distinguish it from the rest. For one thing, it was not only the first slasher movie released … More Movies: To All a Goodnight (1980)
Fans of recent horror will likely know the name Joe Begos, who wrote and directed a couple of well-regarded flicks in the last few years, including 2019’s awesome action horror VFW, and the acid-trippy Bliss, released the same year. If you’re into the look and feel of those films—super saturated neon lighting, characters who drink … More Movies: Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022)
Well, Christmas is fast approaching, and it occurred to me that I hadn’t discussed much Christmas horror this year, whether in book or movie form (other than Await Further Instructions, which I covered here), so I thought it was about time to rectify that situation. In my Kindle Unlimited recommendations, I kept noticing a very … More Books: Everything is Temporary by Jon Cohn
I’m always game to check out an 80s horror flick I missed the first time around, so when a reader recommended the 1981 film Fear No Evil, I toddled on over to Shudder to give it a look. I seem to remember seeing the cover in the video store back in the day, but for … More Movies: Fear No Evil (1981)
Part of the fun of having a Kindle Unlimited subscription is playing what I like to call Kindle Roulette, where I just browse through the dozens of recommendations on offer and choose a book completely at random, sometimes solely from the title or a cool-looking cover design. On occasion, this method has kinda bitten me … More Books: The Neighbor by London Clarke
Today’s movie is another listener recommendation, though this time I already had the film on my “to watch eventually” list, as I often saw it popping up on Shudder and thought it sounded interesting. It’s also fortuitous that I chose to review it in December because even though I didn’t know it going in, this … More Movies: Await Further Instructions (2018)
I’m actually kind of embarrassed to admit that I had never even heard of this movie (or the book on which it’s based) until someone recommended it to me a while back, telling me it was right up my alley. Said alley, or rather one of many alleys, concerns Victorian murder mysteries with real historical … More Movies: The Limehouse Golem (2016)
I’ve finally reached the first milestone on this long-ass journey through the horror movies of my lifetime; yep, 1982 marks a decade out from my auspicious birth, and also serves as a spot about a fifth of the way through this project. 1982 was another great year, and even though I didn’t have as many … More My Favorite Horror Movies from Every Year Since I Was Born: 1982
The 2008 Canadian film Pontypool is one I kept seeing pop up on various internet lists of underrated horror movies, and even though the premise always sounded intriguing to me, for some reason I never got around to watching the thing until just recently, when I noticed that Shudder had added it to their lineup. … More Movies: Pontypool (2008)
