Classic Horror: Friday The 13th (1980)
They were warned…. Today’s Classic Horror features the first film in one of the most successful horror franchises of all time, 1980’s Friday The 13th. The film turned forty years old on May 9th of this year, so it’s fitting that I should highlight the movie that started it all for Jason Voorhees even thoughContinue reading “Classic Horror: Friday The 13th (1980)”
Throwback Thursday: The Legend of the Lone Ranger Toys (1981)
Hi-Yo, Silver! Away! Yes, I know that some folks will claim that “Hi-Yo” is wrong and that it should be “Hi-Ho,” but Clayton Moore, the man best known for portraying the Lone Ranger on television for most of the 1950’s, has stated in interviews that it’s “Hi-Yo, Silver.” I don’t argue with the Lone Ranger.Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Legend of the Lone Ranger Toys (1981)”
The Forgotten Island
The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977) Bookended by a beloved classic and a notorious flop, 1977’s The Island of Dr. Moreau is often forgotten by science fiction fans despite being a decent adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel of the same name. 1932’s Island of Lost Souls has become an influential classic despite being dislikedContinue reading “The Forgotten Island”
In Defense of Battle: Los Angeles (2011)
Retreat? Hell! I saw Battle: Los Angeles in the theater way back in 2011. A sleeper hit, the film debuted at number one amidst a bunch of films that just weren’t that great including Red Riding Hood and Mars Needs Moms. Panned by critics and dethroned in its second week by the animated Rango, Battle:Continue reading “In Defense of Battle: Los Angeles (2011)”

It’s Star Wars Day! I’ve been a Star Wars fan for my entire life, literally.

I’ve seen every otherContinue reading “May The Fourth Be With You!”
Throwback Thursday: Ip Man (2008)
“I Wish To Fight Ten Men.” The list of films that can completely pull me in and make me forget about the entire world is short, but the film near the top of that list is 2008’s Ip Man. I know what you’re thinking: a kung fu movie? One of those films that features countlessContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Ip Man (2008)”

Fright Rags Tee Of Mystery!
I dared to open the package…. Last week I decided to order a Tee of Mystery from Fright Rags. It was my first purchase from the company and I figured that the best way to gauge just how good their products were was to buy a shirt on the cheap and check out the quality.Continue reading “Fright Rags Tee Of Mystery!”
