Revenge Of The Slashers: The Phantom Killer

“If we do catch him, it’s gonna be a miracle.” What makes today’s Thirty-One Days O’Horror entry scarier than most of the other slashers that I’m looking at this month is the fact that he actually existed! While the 1976 film The Town That Dreaded Sundown took a few liberties with the actual Texarkana MoonlightContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: The Phantom Killer”

The Crucifixion (2017)

Be Careful What You Pray For…. Something that I’ve picked up on about the twin brothers of terror, Chad and Carey W. Hayes, is that their horror writing almost always falls into one of two categories: 1) dull but watchable and 2) downright chilling. The duo penned the remake of House Of Wax (2005), TheContinue reading “The Crucifixion (2017)”

It drops a rather unique looking murderer into a standard slasher plot, givesContinue reading “Cult Classic: The Prowler (1981)”

Montevideo on a rainy night, 1993 Imagine yourself in Montevideo, Uruguay way back in 1993. Heavy rain is falling and you want nothing more than to find your way into an old, rundown theater showing a lame horror flick so that you dry off for a bit and possibly enjoy the movie. Then, without warning,Continue reading “The Last Matinee (2020)”
