“I wanna be in the sequel! Unless you’ve been under a rock since the mid 1990s, you’re probably well aware of the groundbreaking, genre-reviving juggernaut that is 1996’s Scream. The film, directed by horror master Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, injected new life into the slasher genre. The entire premise of the filmContinue reading “TODOH #13: Scream (1996)”

TODOH #12: Anaconda (1997)
“Buenos noches, beautiful.” Anaconda is not a great film. It knows that it isn’t great and doesn’t try to be. This 1997 creature feature fully embraces the fact that it’s a monster movie with a ton of flaws, decent CGI, and a cast loaded with actors on their way up and actors on the wayContinue reading “TODOH #12: Anaconda (1997)”
TODOH #11: Freaks (1932)
“Make me one of you, will you?“ While some would argue that 1932’s Freaks isn’t necessarily a horror film, I believe that the climax of the film, which I won’t spoil, gives it everything it needs to earn that title. The film, directed by Tod Browning and based upon the short story Spurs by TodContinue reading “TODOH #11: Freaks (1932)”
TODOH #10: The Mist (2007)
“Tonight the beast will leave us alone.” If you’re looking for a fun time, don’t watch 2007’s The Mist. Based upon (and better, in my opinion) the novella by Stephen King, The Mist is a film with no happy ending. A bizarre mist arrives in a small town in Maine and brings with it aContinue reading “TODOH #10: The Mist (2007)”
TODOH #9: Jason X (2001)
“He’s been modified.” Before anybody blows their lid over the fact that Jason X made it into my favorite horror films list, just remember that this is 1) my list and 2) not a list of greatest horror films. I know that this film isn’t the best movie around, but I just love it. It’sContinue reading “TODOH #9: Jason X (2001)”
TODOH #8: Near Dark (1987)
“Park your carcass!” Released just a few months after the much more successful The Lost Boys, Near Dark wasn’t a massive smash in 1987, but it found its fanbase on home video and cable television. I didn’t discover the film until the early 2000s, and it has become a favorite of mine. Much like TheContinue reading “TODOH #8: Near Dark (1987)”
TODOH #7: Prom Night (1980)
“They killed her…..they killed her!” Opening with the tragic death of young Robin Hammond, Prom Night (1980) sets up a twisted game that takes place exactly six years later on, you guessed it, prom night at Alexander Hamilton High School. The film, created as an attempt to cash in on the success of other slashersContinue reading “TODOH #7: Prom Night (1980)”
TODOH #6: Jaws (1975)
“Tell them I’m going fishing.” Today’s Thirty-One Days O’Horror entry is not only one of my favorite movies, it’s the film that triggered a worldwide fear of sharks and the ocean. It gave us the legendary quote, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” We all felt the pain of Mrs. Kintner when she confronted BrodyContinue reading “TODOH #6: Jaws (1975)”
TODOH #4: Christine (1983)
“It seems like nobody likes my car these days.” 1983 was a huge year for movies. Some of the most popular films of all time were released that year. Return of the Jedi, Octopussy, Trading Places, and National Lampoon’s Vacation are just a few of the big films released that year. It was also aContinue reading “TODOH #4: Christine (1983)”
TODOH #3: Willow Creek (2013)
“Are you a believer?” I’m not a fan of found footage films. I’ll acknowledge the fact that The Blair Witch Project utilized the internet to perfection when it comes to marketing, but the final film was dull, boring, and not that good. As a co-host of the Filmsquatch Podcast, I’ve had to watch many, manyContinue reading “TODOH #3: Willow Creek (2013)”
