Don’t Go In The Water! 1954’s Creature From The Black Lagoon features one of the most iconic monsters in all of film history. The film was released in 3D, a dying format at the time, but was viewed in 2D as well. The film and its two sequels are considered the final installments in Universal’sContinue reading “Days O’Horror #5: Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)”

Days O’Horror #4: The Mummy’s Hand (1940)
Back To The Sand! 1932’s The Mummy, starring Boris Karloff as Imhotep/The Mummy, was an immensely popular film. It has remained popular over the years and has been rebooted twice by Universal with the successful Brendan Fraser film trilogy that started in 1999 and the less well-received Tom Cruise vehicle that flopped in 2017. WayContinue reading “Days O’Horror #4: The Mummy’s Hand (1940)”
Days O’Horror #3: Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man (1943)
Before The MCU While Marvel and Disney get all of the attention with their cinematic universe, the actual idea of a shared universe can be traced back to Universal’s classic monster films. Specifically, 1943’s Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man is considered by many to be the very first example of a cinematic universe film. ItContinue reading “Days O’Horror #3: Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man (1943)”
Days O’Horror #2: Dracula’s Daughter (1936)
Keeping The Family Tradition Alive Dracula’s Daughter (1936) is a rather unique film. It doesn’t fit the mold of your standard vampire movie. Instead of a vampire intent on drinking the local citizenry dry, this film features a vampire that wants to break free of its curse (at least in the beginning of the film).Continue reading “Days O’Horror #2: Dracula’s Daughter (1936)”
Days O’Horror #1: The Invisible Man (1933)
Seeing the unseen for the first time! Being a huge Universal Monsters fanatic, it somewhat pains me to admit that until yesterday I had never viewed any of the films featuring The Invisible Man in their entirety. I have watched films influenced by these movies and read the book by H.G. Wells that started itContinue reading “Days O’Horror #1: The Invisible Man (1933)”

Thirty-One Days O’ Horror! Tomorrow I will be diving into the first of a month-long look at thirty-one of Universal’s classic horror films. Things will begin with a Universal film that I’ve never actually viewed before, 1933’s The Invisible Man, starring Claude Rains and loosely based on the popular H.G. Wells novel of the sameContinue reading “The Horror Starts Tomorrow!”
Thirty-One Days O’Horror Returns!!!
And this time it’s Universal! About two years ago I decided to watch and review thirty-one horror films across the month of October. I made it to day fourteen and had to call it quits due to the fact that work was piling up on me and I’m lazy. This year, however, I’m primed toContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror Returns!!!”
Day O’Horror #13! Friday the 13th!
Camp Crystal Lake It’s Friday the 13th. What other film series did you think that I would pick to view this evening? Jason Voorhees has been terrorizing teens since the early 1980’s. The films follow the same basic plot (with some exceptions such as the first film which focuses on Jason’s mom and Friday theContinue reading “Day O’Horror #13! Friday the 13th!”
An Avenging Car on Day O’Horror #12!
1986 Arizona Some movies come along and for no real reason seem to click with the audience. Critics may hate it, but it still draws a crowd. Take The Wraith for instance. It was one of the earliest films in the careers of both Charlie Sheen and Sherilyn Fenn. It was the first major roleContinue reading “An Avenging Car on Day O’Horror #12!”
A Haunted Day O’Horror #11!
A Haunted Mouse! If you’ve had the pleasure of visiting either Disneyland or Disney World (or a few other Disney parks worldwide), you are probably aware that the Haunted Mansion is one of their most popular attractions. I’ve personally visited the Disney World Haunted Mansion on three separate occasions and loved it every time. It’sContinue reading “A Haunted Day O’Horror #11!”
