In case you didn’t know, David Lynch is brilliant. And he makes some pretty crazy flicks. Eraserhead is certainly more bizarre than Blue Velvet, but the latter is perhaps the more artistic and altogether better film. Read more “Blue Velvet”
The Sex & Violence Family Hour
HOLY HELL!
This vintage slice of comedy and exploitation is like a mash-up of Saturday Night Live and Monty Python, except with even more bare breasts and lude humor. Read more “The Sex & Violence Family Hour”
Curse of the Exorcist (E! True Hollywood Story)
I’ve always loved the movie and the book. The creepy true story that winds through them both makes it even more fun!
The Taking of Deborah Logan
I seem to be saying this about a lot of modern films–the idea has so much potential. And another thing I say frequently about modern films–they have no lovable characters.

The Giant Spider Invasion (1975)
Aww, good old-fashioned cheese.
This is what you expect and, for me anyway, desire when you go seeking low-budget vintage horror and science fiction. Read more “The Giant Spider Invasion (1975)”
New WORLD DOMINATION PODCAST featuring Cerberus!

For a film with some of the worst picture quality ever, it’s actually pretty damn fun. Read more “The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)”
247 Degrees Fahrenheit
It’s an interesting idea, I suppose. Three friends get trapped in a sauna, not really sure if their drunk friend locked them inside or if something else happened. It would certainly be a frightening predicament in real life. But, this isn’t real life. This is the movies, and I’m supposed to love the characters and be entertained by exciting and horrifying scenes. But there is none of that. Read more “247 Degrees Fahrenheit”
Suffer the Little Children
There are few real-life horror stories more frightening than that of Pennhurst. It’s likely Suffer the Little Children barely scratches the surface of what went on there.
