TODOH #24: The Mummy (1999)
“No harm ever came from…reading a book.” Sure, The Mummy (1999), directed by Stephen Sommers, who also wrote the screenplay, may be more of an adventure film than a horror movie, but this is my list and it’s one of my favorite horror films and I’m putting it on my list! It starred Brendan Fraser,Continue reading “TODOH #24: The Mummy (1999)”

“The wolf bit you, didn’t he?” Easily my favorite werewolf film ever made and one of my favorite films of all time, 1941’s The Wolf Man is the movie that started it all for me.

TODOH #19: The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari (1920)
“We die at dawn! He is Caligari!“ Something of a chaotic dream, the 1920 silent film The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari is equal parts horror story and political dissertation. On the surface, it is a tale of a demented doctor that uses a somnambulist (that’s a five dollar word for “sleepwalker that engages in tasksContinue reading “TODOH #19: The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari (1920)”
TODOH #18: An American Werewolf In London (1981)
“Keep clear of the moors.” I’ve been a werewolf fan for pretty much all of my life.

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)”
