“They killed her…..they killed her!” Opening with the tragic death of young Robin Hammond, Prom Night (1980) sets up a twisted game that takes place exactly six years later on, you guessed it, prom night at Alexander Hamilton High School. The film, created as an attempt to cash in on the success of other slashersContinue reading “TODOH #7: Prom Night (1980)”

TODOH #6: Jaws (1975)
“Tell them I’m going fishing.” Today’s Thirty-One Days O’Horror entry is not only one of my favorite movies, it’s the film that triggered a worldwide fear of sharks and the ocean. It gave us the legendary quote, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” We all felt the pain of Mrs. Kintner when she confronted BrodyContinue reading “TODOH #6: Jaws (1975)”
TODOH #5: M3GAN (2022)
“I won’t let anything harm you. Ever again.” One of the most recent horror films to make it into my list of Thirty-One Favorites is 2022’s AI/robotics terror tale, M3GAN. In the film, a young lady, Cady, loses her parents in an accident and is taken in by her aunt, Gemma, who happens to beContinue reading “TODOH #5: M3GAN (2022)”
TODOH #4: Christine (1983)
“It seems like nobody likes my car these days.” 1983 was a huge year for movies. Some of the most popular films of all time were released that year. Return of the Jedi, Octopussy, Trading Places, and National Lampoon’s Vacation are just a few of the big films released that year. It was also aContinue reading “TODOH #4: Christine (1983)”
TODOH #3: Willow Creek (2013)
“Are you a believer?” I’m not a fan of found footage films. I’ll acknowledge the fact that The Blair Witch Project utilized the internet to perfection when it comes to marketing, but the final film was dull, boring, and not that good. As a co-host of the Filmsquatch Podcast, I’ve had to watch many, manyContinue reading “TODOH #3: Willow Creek (2013)”
TODOH #2: Sleepy Hollow (1999)
“Because you have bewitched me.” I have a strange relationship with 1999’s Sleepy Hollow. The film is obviously a horror movie, but much like The Nightmare Before Christmas, I find myself watching it multiple times between Halloween and Christmas. I’ve blogged about this before, but there is something about this film that feels like ChristmasContinue reading “TODOH #2: Sleepy Hollow (1999)”
TODOH Favorites #1: Jurassic Park (1993)
“Hold on to your butts.” It’s only logical that I kick off Thirty-One Days O’Horror Favorites with a film that rides the line between science fiction and horror, Jurassic Park (1993). There have been many arguments on the web, at conventions, and in backroom parlors (okay, I might be fibbing there) about whether or notContinue reading “TODOH Favorites #1: Jurassic Park (1993)”
Where The Scary Things Are (2022)
The monsters aren’t under your bed 2022’s Where The Scary Things Are is terrible. There’s really not much more to say about the film, but since I review movies on this blog, I’ll give it the ol’ college try. The film was written and directed by B. Harrison Smith, who gave us a host ofContinue reading “Where The Scary Things Are (2022)”
Mattel The Hammond Collection: Dr. Ian Malcolm (2022)
“Must go faster….” It’s been awhile since I posted an action figure review, so please forgive me if this particular one is a few years old. As my longtime readers know, I was very fond of Mattel’s Amber Collection featuring six inch versions of some of the best characters from the Jurassic Park and JurassicContinue reading “Mattel The Hammond Collection: Dr. Ian Malcolm (2022)”
Classic Cinema: I Married A Witch (1942)
“Goodbye, Jennifer, be a bad girl.” Wallace Wooley, running for governor and about to get married to his biggest campaign donor’s daughter, finds himself at the mercy of a pair of witches that have recently been freed from their earthly prison and are intent on making his life miserable in 1942’s hilarious I Married AContinue reading “Classic Cinema: I Married A Witch (1942)”
