Not too long ago, I did a massive mega-review of all five of the found-footage V/H/S films, which varied in quality but were mostly pretty solid (other than Viral, which I didn’t like much at all). Although I’m not the world’s biggest fan of found-footage horror in general, I was intrigued enough by the series … More Movies: V/H/S/85 (2023)
It’s time to delve back into Night Gallery, and since we already covered the pilot episode as well as the (very short) first season, we’re now going to get into the second season. Because season two contains 22 episodes (as opposed to only six in the first season), I’m planning to tackle this project in … More Revisiting Night Gallery: Season Two (Episodes 1-6)
Before I embark on the long trek into season two of Thriller with Boris Karloff, I’m going to take that promised side journey into Rod Serling’s Night Gallery, the pilot episode of which I discussed here. You see, just this past weekend while I was out and about, I happened upon a complete box set … More Revisiting Night Gallery: Season One
At long last, I’m returning to my exhaustive breakdowns of each episode of the American Thriller series from the early 1960s, hosted by Boris Karloff. This time around, I’m only covering five episodes (instead of the usual six), because there were only five left in season one, so without further ado… Episode 33: “The Terror … More Revisiting Thriller with Boris Karloff: Season 1, Episodes 33-37
Since I was already midway through my journey into discussing the classic early 1960s anthology series Thriller, hosted by Boris Karloff, I thought now would be a wonderfully opportune time to make even more work for myself and start talking about another beloved anthology series, one that I adored as a kid and have watched … More Revisiting Night Gallery with Rod Serling: Pilot Episode, 1969
It’s time for another deep dive into the Thriller TV series from the early 1960s, with your host, Boris Karloff! In today’s post, we’re breaking down season one, episodes 27 through 32. Let’s get to it. Episode 27: “Late Date” Based on a 1935 Cornell Woolrich story called “The Corpse and the Kid,” this episode … More Revisiting Thriller with Boris Karloff: Season 1, Episodes 27-32
I’ve probably mentioned it before, but I love horror anthologies of all kinds, and I have a particular soft spot in my black heart for the British “portmanteau” films released by Amicus Productions in the 1960s and 1970s. And because it’s Christmas, I decided to write about a film that actually isn’t entirely based around … More Movies: Tales from the Crypt (1972)
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you freaks out there! While most normal people at this time of year can probably be found gathering around the TV set in their jammies with their steaming cups of cocoa and their five millionth viewing of It’s A Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street, we horror nerds are carved … More Christmas Double Feature: A Christmas Horror Story (2015) and Red Christmas (2016)
All right, after my abortive last post, where I was only able to review episodes 19 and 20 of Thriller, someone informed me that pretty much all of the episodes in the series are on YouTube, an obvious platform which for some reason I had forgotten to check. So I’m back in business with another … More Revisiting Thriller with Boris Karloff: Season 1, Episodes 21-26
It’s time once again to dive back into the Boris Karloff-hosted Thriller series, though I regret that I’m going to have to truncate this installment a bit. Although I’d previously been doing these posts as six-episode chunks, once I got to episode 19, I discovered that the Roku Channel, where I’d been watching the series, … More Revisiting Thriller with Boris Karloff: Season 1, Episodes 19 & 20
