“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)”

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. I can remember watching movies like Silver Bullet, Teen Wolf, The Wolf Man (my favorite overall), and The Monster Squad. As I got older (and braver), I watched The Howling, Wolf, and Dog Soldiers. 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? Well, director and co-writer Jim Wynorski did just that with Chopping Mall. While the title may have you thinking that this is going to beContinue reading “TODOH #17: Chopping Mall (1986)”
TODOH #16: The Invisible Man (1933)
“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. He portrays the titular character, also known as Dr. Jack Griffin, who discovers a formula to make himself invisible and he slowly spirals into madness due to the effectsContinue reading “TODOH #16: The Invisible Man (1933)”
TODOH #13: Scream (1996)
“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 #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)”
Where The Scary Things Are (2022)
The monsters aren’t under your bed 2022’s Where The Scary Things Are is terrible. There’s really not much more to say about the film, but since I review movies on this blog, I’ll give it the ol’ college try. The film was written and directed by B. Harrison Smith, who gave us a host ofContinue reading “Where The Scary Things Are (2022)”
