“Keep clear of the moors.” I’ve been a werewolf fan for pretty much all of my life. I can remember watching movies like Silver Bullet, Teen Wolf, The Wolf Man (my favorite overall), and The Monster Squad. As I got older (and braver), I watched The Howling, Wolf, and Dog Soldiers. Heck, I’m still watchingContinue reading “TODOH #18: An American Werewolf In London (1981)”

TODOH #17: Chopping Mall (1986)
“Trust me, absolutely nothing can go wrong.” Who knew that forty years ago, a cheesy B-movie would give us a glimpse at the future, when robots/AI would rule the world? Well, director and co-writer Jim Wynorski did just that with Chopping Mall. While the title may have you thinking that this is going to beContinue reading “TODOH #17: Chopping Mall (1986)”
TODOH #16: The Invisible Man (1933)
“Don’t worry, the whole world’s my hiding place.” The legendary Claude Rains chews his way through 1933’s The Invisible Man like a madman on a mission. He portrays the titular character, also known as Dr. Jack Griffin, who discovers a formula to make himself invisible and he slowly spirals into madness due to the effectsContinue reading “TODOH #16: The Invisible Man (1933)”
TODOH #15: The Legend Of Boggy Creek (1972)
“Fouke is a right pleasant place to live….until the sun goes down.” Few films have impacted my life as much as 1972’s The Legend Of Boggy Creek. While many children were afraid to go into the water after watching Jaws, I was scared to go into the woods alone as a child thanks to TheContinue reading “TODOH #15: The Legend Of Boggy Creek (1972)”
TODOH #14: Tremors (1990)
“I vote for outer space. No way these are local boys.” Tremors (1990) has a very soft spot in my heart. It’s one of the few things in my life that gave me a connection with my father. While my dad and I have always had a wonderful relationship, we are very different people. WeContinue reading “TODOH #14: Tremors (1990)”
TODOH #13: Scream (1996)
“I wanna be in the sequel! Unless you’ve been under a rock since the mid 1990s, you’re probably well aware of the groundbreaking, genre-reviving juggernaut that is 1996’s Scream. The film, directed by horror master Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, injected new life into the slasher genre. The entire premise of the filmContinue reading “TODOH #13: Scream (1996)”
TODOH #12: Anaconda (1997)
“Buenos noches, beautiful.” Anaconda is not a great film. It knows that it isn’t great and doesn’t try to be. This 1997 creature feature fully embraces the fact that it’s a monster movie with a ton of flaws, decent CGI, and a cast loaded with actors on their way up and actors on the wayContinue reading “TODOH #12: Anaconda (1997)”
TODOH #11: Freaks (1932)
“Make me one of you, will you?“ While some would argue that 1932’s Freaks isn’t necessarily a horror film, I believe that the climax of the film, which I won’t spoil, gives it everything it needs to earn that title. The film, directed by Tod Browning and based upon the short story Spurs by TodContinue reading “TODOH #11: Freaks (1932)”
TODOH #10: The Mist (2007)
“Tonight the beast will leave us alone.” If you’re looking for a fun time, don’t watch 2007’s The Mist. Based upon (and better, in my opinion) the novella by Stephen King, The Mist is a film with no happy ending. A bizarre mist arrives in a small town in Maine and brings with it aContinue reading “TODOH #10: The Mist (2007)”
TODOH #9: Jason X (2001)
“He’s been modified.” Before anybody blows their lid over the fact that Jason X made it into my favorite horror films list, just remember that this is 1) my list and 2) not a list of greatest horror films. I know that this film isn’t the best movie around, but I just love it. It’sContinue reading “TODOH #9: Jason X (2001)”
