Halloween Bites! Buffy The Vampire Slayer

“Great. My secret weapon is PMS.“ While there are tons of people out there who swear that Sarah Michelle Gellar is the best Buffy, I’ll go to my grave knowing that Kristy Swanson portrayed Buffy first and best in the 1992 film Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The film stars Swanson, Donald Sutherland, Rutger Hauer, LukeContinue reading “Halloween Bites! Buffy The Vampire Slayer”

Halloween Bites! 30 Days Of Night

“You keep shooting and they just….they just keep coming.” I’m not quite sure if any vampire film prior to 2007’s 30 Days Of Night ever visited the concept of vampires in Alaska, but it’s a really cool idea and I’m glad that someone finally put it on celluloid. The story takes place in a smallContinue reading “Halloween Bites! 30 Days Of Night”

Houston Marriott Westchase, August 10th This was my third year attending the Houston Horror Film Fest.

Cult Classic: Killer Workout (1987)

“She was so pretty…..” Aerobics were all the rage in the 1980s. Slasher films were insanely popular as well. 1987’s Killer Workout (also known as Aerobicide) fused them together in the hopes of raking in the big bucks. The result was a ho-hum slasher flick featuring a killer with a fondness for laundry pins, endlessContinue reading “Cult Classic: Killer Workout (1987)”

Dark Harvest (2023)

“To a violent world with me.” Loosely based upon the 2006 Norman Partridge novel of the same name, 2023’s Dark Harvest is a decent little thriller that blends stories such as The Lottery with supernatural horror like Night Of The Scarecrow and Pumpkinhead. It tells the story of a small Midwestern town wherein a sinisterContinue reading “Dark Harvest (2023)”
