Devil’s Music Double Feature: The Devil’s Candy (2015) and Scherzo Diabolico (2015)

August 13, 2022

I decided to discuss these two particular movies together because I dug them both a great deal, and they share a very music-centric theme. As in, they’re not musicals, but they both prominently feature music as a central characteristic of the plot. So, onward. Sean Byrne’s The Devil’s Candy from 2015 is the follow-up to the Australian … More Devil’s Music Double Feature: The Devil’s Candy (2015) and Scherzo Diabolico (2015)

My Favorite Horror Movies from Every Year Since I Was Born: 1973

August 10, 2022

On the second installment of this potentially very long-running series (the first installment is here), I’m discussing 1973, which was an absolutely cracking year for iconic horror movies. There was a treasure trove of amazing stuff to choose from, but honestly, my five favorite ones were a no-brainer, and took me literally less than two … More My Favorite Horror Movies from Every Year Since I Was Born: 1973

Horror Comedy Double Feature: Welcome to Willits (2017) and Ava’s Possessions (2015)

August 7, 2022

Horror comedies are a genre I have something of an uneasy relationship with. On the one hand, when done well, the humor of the film in question can enhance the fright factor immensely, making the movie greater than the sum of its parts. I’m talking here about fun, smart, and over-the-top grisly films like Shaun of … More Horror Comedy Double Feature: Welcome to Willits (2017) and Ava’s Possessions (2015)

Double Feature: Something Evil (1972) and The Stone Tape (1973)

July 30, 2022

I decided to return today not only to my favorite decade for horror movies, but also to my favorite horror subgenre for this post. In short, I’m reviewing two haunted house films from the 1970s, both of which have made numerous appearances on various “underrated” lists around the internet, and both of which happen to … More Double Feature: Something Evil (1972) and The Stone Tape (1973)

More Favorite Creepy Books from My 70s Childhood

July 23, 2022

In my previous post about Stories That Scared Even Me, I mentioned how influential horror stories were on me as a kid, and how much I adored seeking them out and reading them, whether they were intended for children or not (my parents were pretty chill that way). Sure, I delved into the very disturbing adult … More More Favorite Creepy Books from My 70s Childhood

Double Feature: The Wailing (2016) and A Dark Song (2017)

July 18, 2022

Time for another double dose of horror, and damn, I got two good ones today, though they’re definitely not for all tastes (but then again, what is?). The first is 2016’s The Wailing, a massive hit in its native South Korea and an exceptionally reviewed flick on American shores as well. I’d been hearing recommendations for … More Double Feature: The Wailing (2016) and A Dark Song (2017)

Middle Eastern Double Feature: Baskin (2015) and Under the Shadow (2016)

July 15, 2022

I decided to do something of a Middle Eastern theme for today’s double feature, consisting of two films I had heard a great deal of positive press about and had been wanting to see for ages. The first is a surreal torture-fest from Turkey, the second a more traditional metaphorical ghost story with an Iranian-born … More Middle Eastern Double Feature: Baskin (2015) and Under the Shadow (2016)
