It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like…..Halloween!
Thirty-One Days O’Horror Returns Next Month! Thirty-One Days O’Horror is quite possibly my favorite blog category.

Classic Horror: The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)
“And when the sun went down….” Based upon an actual killing spree that took place in Texarkana, TX between February and May of 1946, The Town That Dreaded Sundown was directed and co-produced by Charles B.

Classic Horror: The Vampire (1957)
“I got plenty of reasons, Willy. Three deaths in three days.” With the rise of the Atomic Age in the 1940’s, classic monsters such as vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein’s monster gave way to giant monster films such as Godzilla, Them, The Blob, and Robot Monster in the 1950’s. The 50’s also gave us sci-fi horrorContinue reading “Classic Horror: The Vampire (1957)”
Vampires Vs. The Bronx (2020)
“Sanguine”-trification! Using vampires as a metaphor for gentrification is a great idea. When injected into the right kind of film, be it a straight horror film or a blended horror/comedy, it has the potential to not only educate but entertain. In Netflix’s Vampires Vs. The Bronx, the idea is definitely present, but the film strugglesContinue reading “Vampires Vs. The Bronx (2020)”

Changes Are Coming As many of you already know, my home was lost in the destructive path of Hurricane Laura. My family and I will be spending the next six to eight months (possibly more, hopefully less) in a temporary home until our house is repaired and rebuilt.

The Stakes Have Been Raised! Regular readers of my blog know of my great love for the classic Universal Monsters. From the Wolf Man to Dracula, I love them all, so it’s only natural that I picked up Ravensburger’s Horrified game when it was released in October of last year.
