Darabont already did The Woman In The Room, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Green Mile, but this was the first time that Darabont tackled a full blown tale of terror from King.

Throwback Thursday: The Blood Suckers (1967)
“In spite of this dreadful accident, I welcome you to my villa.” Whether you call it La Isla De La Muerte, Maneater Of Hydra, Le Baron Vampire, or Island Of The Doomed, 1967’s The Blood Suckers is quite the messy flick. It’s plot centers around a mad scientist, Baron von Weser (Cameron Mitchell), and hisContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Blood Suckers (1967)”
Throwback Thursday: Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982)
“Eight More Days ‘Til Halloween, Halloween, Halloween….” Still not interested in writing or directing a Halloween (1978) sequel and hoping to spinoff an anthology series of Halloween themed films, John Carpenter and Debra Hill decided to throw out Michael Myers and Laurie Strode and take their film series in a totally different direction. The resultContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982)”
Throwback Thursday: Halloween II (1981)
“There’s a file on Michael Myers that nobody knew about…” Hated by many, loved by few, 1981’s Halloween II picks up where 1978’s Halloween ended. The film is a direct sequel to its predecessor and opens with a flashback sequence that catches viewers up to the events of the previous film. After Dr. Loomis putsContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Halloween II (1981)”
Throwback Thursday: Firestarter (1984)
“I’ll burn you up! I’ll fry you!” I was a child way back in May of 1984 and the PG-13 rating was was just a few months away from making its debut with the film Red Dawn. Had Firestarter been released in August instead of May of that year, it quite possibly could have receivedContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Firestarter (1984)”

Cable network TNT has been cranking out original films since 1989 when it released Nightbreaker starring father/son duo Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez. The company has produced one hundred plus original films. Some of their most successful releases have been science fiction and adventure films.

Throwback Thursday: Edward Scissorhands (1990)
“People are scared of things that are different.” Tim Burton is one of my favorite creators. He’s an amazing director, writer, animator, and artist and I love his unique style. He has had a hand in many of my favorite films including Batman (1989), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Big Fish (2003), and Sweeney Todd: The DemonContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Edward Scissorhands (1990)”
Throwback Thursday: Just One Of The Guys (1985)
“Hey, who do you think you are? Tootsie?” On the surface, 1985’s Just One Of The Guys seems like just another light teen 80’s comedy. When you dig deeper, however, you see that the film is about the imbalance between the sexes (both ways), the social hierarchy of high schools in the 1980’s (and beyond),Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Just One Of The Guys (1985)”
Throwback Thursday: Leprechaun (1993)
“Where’s me gold????” Almost two years prior to her iconic role as Rachel Green on Friends, Jennifer Aniston starred alongside Ken Olandt and Warwick Davis in the horror comedy Leprechaun (1993). Aniston would like to forget that the film was ever made and I don’t necessarily disagree with her. It’s not that great (which isContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Leprechaun (1993)”
Throwback Thursday: Weird Science (1985)
“From my heart and from my hand, why don’t people understand?” John Hughes wrote and directed the teen science fiction comedy Weird Science. Despite being a very successful film, it is rarely mentioned in conversations about some of Hughes’ most successful films such as Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Home Alone, and Ferris Bueller’s DayContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Weird Science (1985)”
