Heck, I never even knew that Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis ever made a film together. When I finally put eyes on this little gem of a movie, however, I was pleasantlyContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Roadgames (1981)”

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)

“My name’s not Kerri Tate.” With a litany of disappointing and/or critically panned sequels following Halloween II (1981), the Halloween franchise was pretty much dead in the mid-1990s.

Classic Horror: Prom Night (1980)

“If you’re not home by midnight…..” Well on the way to establishing herself as a “scream queen,” Jamie Lee Curtis starred in 1980’s Prom Night, a Canadian slasher flick that also starred Leslie Nielsen (Forbidden Planet, The Naked Gun). With a lean budget, a fairly green cast and crew, and Paul Lynch directing it all,Continue reading “Classic Horror: Prom Night (1980)”

Throwback Thursday: Halloween (1978)

Forty Years Ago It’s hard to believe that it has been forty years since John Carpenter’s Halloween was released.  While it wasn’t the first slasher film (many argue that 1912’s The Lunatics deserves that title), it was definitely the film that blazed the trail for future slasher franchises such as Friday The 13th, A NightmareContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Halloween (1978)”
