“Punish!” Christmas hasn’t been the same since 1984. That’s the year that the highly controversial (for its time) Silent Night, Deadly Night was released in theaters.

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)”

Cult Classic: The Prowler (1981)

“I want you to be my date, Rose.” Landing smack in the middle of what many have dubbed the “Golden Age of Slasher Films” (1978-1984), The Prowler (1981) does a whole lot with the very little that it has going for it. It drops a rather unique looking murderer into a standard slasher plot, givesContinue reading “Cult Classic: The Prowler (1981)”
