Chilling Classics Cthursday: SCREAM BLOODY MURDER (1973)
I hesitate to call the 1973 exploitation flick Scream Bloody Murder a gem, but surely it qualifies as at least gem-adjacent. After all, this is a movie in which a young boy runs over and kills his father with a piece of farm equipment, only to promptly fall and lose

Chilling Classics Cthursday: LADY FRANKENSTEIN (1971)
Let me spoil this review by saying right up front that I really loved Lady Frankenstein and I'm glad I did...because I finally saw The Substance recently and it was so good--like, "the best thing I've seen since...maybe Suspiria?? and I'll
Keeping your ear holes busy
I know, I know--you came here to read, not to listen. Well, let's compromise: Read about listening, and then do what you will! Hopefully what you will do will be checking out the latest episode of the esteemèd podcast The Faculty of Horror, which features moi talking with
It's that time of the month, by which I mean it's that time of the year
GUESS WHAT EVERYONE While it is still so hot and humid outside that one feels as if one lives all snuggled-n-tucked up underneath Satan's ballsack, I recently bought not one but TWO bags of pumpkin spice coffee in preparation for the forthcoming season. That's right, I

Some songs that are getting me through this trying time
Listen, I know we are all going through various trying times, each of us around the world, but I can only speak to mine own. Honestly, I probably shouldn't speak to it at all, but as they say, misery is best when it's shared! I only

Aw yeah baby, I've been waiting for this movie's number to come up: It's The Cold, another "$50,000 wonder" from Wisconsin's own Bill Rebane. You might remember him from an earlier Chilling Classique, the train station-space virus-quarantine flick The
Chilling Classics Cthursday: DEVIL TIMES FIVE (1974)
Ah, well, if it isn't Devil Times Five. We've met before, you and I, 'round about fifteen years or so ago--yep, in the early years of this here blog. In the era when I first gave a peep-see to many a movie from the Mill
Chilling Classics Cthursday: DEATH RAGE (1976)
I know, I know. You probably saw the title Death Rage and thought "Oh dip! You're telling me there was a Ju-on precursor made in 1976?" I thought the same thing! But no, this movie has nothing to do with Ju-on or people dying in the
