Chilling Classics Cthursday: I EAT YOUR SKIN (1971)
Writer/director Del Tenney's Zombie Bloodbath was shot in 1964 and sat unloved on a shelf until exploitation producer/distributor extraordinaire Jerry Gross snatched it up, changed its title to I Eat Your Skin, and put it on one of horror's most famous drive-in double bills
Chilling Classics Cthursday: TRACK OF THE MOON BEAST (1976)
When Track of the Moon Beast's number came up for this week's Chilling Classics, I was surprised by how immediately gotdang pumped I was to watch it again for the first time in about 15 years. It's a terrible movie as far as, you
Chilling Classics Cthursday: MEDUSA (1973)
Okay, let's get this out of the way right up front: save for the sculpture in the opening title sequence, there is nary a gorgon in sight in the 1973 film Medusa. Not a single snake-coiffed queen to be found! One could certainly call this false advertising and
Chilling Classics Cthursday: I BURY THE LIVING (1958)
Here we are, ten weeks into this Chilling Classics thang and I have to say, it's been a worthy endeavor so far. In a box crammed full of 50 movies there has to be some gems, right? It's just statistics! And it's been proven
Chilling Classics Cthursday: JESSE JAMES MEETS FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER (1966)
As you may know by now, each week's Chilling Classic is chosen by a random number generator, lest I forever flip back and forth through all 12 discs trying to figure out which movie I'm in the mood for. It's best to put my
Chilling Classics Cthursday: THE WAR OF THE ROBOTS (1978)
1970s Italian horror (or in this case, sci-fi, I suppose) truly was the best of times and the blurst of times, wasn't it? Maybe you'd get a purely original li'l sumpin' sumpin' like Suspiria, or maybe you'd get a li&
This week's five obsessions
Gather 'round, children, as I give you a glimpse into five of the things that have been on my mind, in front of my eyeballs, and in my earholes this week! Neat. LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN (1945, dir. John M. Stahl) Wowzee wow! Saw this one for the first
Chilling Classics Cthursday: CATHY'S CURSE (1977)
After the disappointment bestowed on me last week, RNGesus did me a real solid this time around, blessing me with an excuse to watch Cathy's Curse (1977) for the gazillionth time. In fact, it was thanks to this very same Mill Creek multi-pack that I saw it for
Chilling Classics Cthursday: PANIC (1982)
It's been a while since I've called a movie a "Tiffany" around these parts, but it's so very on point for today's Chilling Classic that I'm busting the term out again. For those of you who are unfamiliar
Chilling Classics Cthursday: OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES (1982)
At the risk of being thrown out of both the Real Horror Fans Gang and the Society of Lesbian Vampire Enjoyers, I must speak my truth: I do not enjoy the films of Jess Franco. Female Vampire almost makes the cut, but to be honest I would rather simply partake
A definitive ranking of Gena Rowlands's outfits in the 1975 COLUMBO episode "Playback"
It seems like everywhere you look on The Internet these days, social media and "the blogs" are overrun with discussions ranking Gena Rowlands's outfits in the Columbo episode "Playback" (original airdate 3/2/75). Honestly, I spent many a waking (and even occasionally a
Chilling Classics Cthursday: WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS' DORMITORY (1961)
It used to be that when I would sit around fantasizing over what I'd teach were I a film professor, I would picture a syllabus with Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes written over and over and over, as if it was a document that Wendy Torrance found in
