“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 #20: Sleepaway Camp (1983)
“Meet me at the waterfront after the social.” When Sleepaway Camp hit theaters in 1983, it delivered not only big profits for its filmmakers (It earned eleven million dollars against a $350,000 production budget), it became a cult classic that divided critics and gave horror fans one of the biggest and most shocking twist endingsContinue reading “TODOH #20: Sleepaway Camp (1983)”
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?

“Don’t worry, the whole world’s my hiding place.” The legendary Claude Rains chews his way through 1933’s The Invisible Man like a madman on a mission.

TODOH #15: The Legend Of Boggy Creek (1972)
“Fouke is a right pleasant place to live….until the sun goes down.” Few films have impacted my life as much as 1972’s The Legend Of Boggy Creek. While many children were afraid to go into the water after watching Jaws, I was scared to go into the woods alone as a child thanks to TheContinue reading “TODOH #15: The Legend Of Boggy Creek (1972)”
