“Why can’t they leave me alone?” Despite financial issues that went back nearly a decade and the occasional natural disaster, Return To Sleepaway Camp managed to be released direct to video in 2008. The film is a direct sequel to the cult classic Sleepaway Camp (1983). The film features the return of the original film’sContinue reading “Return To Sleepaway Camp (2008)”

Classic Cinema: Stranger From Venus (1954)
“I am drunk, or you are dead.” Whether you call it Stranger From Venus, The Venusian, or Immediate Disaster, this pleasantly reserved 1954 science fiction drama is an extremely well done film with a direct message that resembles the same message from 1951’s The Day The Earth Stood Still. It features a small but exceptionalContinue reading “Classic Cinema: Stranger From Venus (1954)”
Classic Cinema: The Giant Claw (1957)
“Oh, nothing so domestic as a flying saucer. Just a flying battleship.” Slammed by critics at the time, 1957’s The Giant Claw may have one of the goofiest looking monsters of all time, but I really enjoy this movie. Born in the Atomic Age of film, the movie gives us the story of a giantContinue reading “Classic Cinema: The Giant Claw (1957)”
Shiver Me Timbers (2025)
“Chainsaws are for children.” The final Popeye-inspired horror film in 2025 was Shiver Me Timbers. It’s also the best or worst of the trio depending on who you ask. While I don’t consider it the best, I don’t believe that it is necessarily the worst. The plot is ridiculous. The acting is sketchy at best.Continue reading “Shiver Me Timbers (2025)”
Popeye The Slayer Man (2025)
“I am what I am.” The second Popeye-themed film of 2025, released in March of that year about five weeks after Popeye’s Revenge, Popeye The Slayer Man does what its predecessor and successor fail to do: place Popeye in a believable scenario where he actually fits into the story. In this horror version of theContinue reading “Popeye The Slayer Man (2025)”
Scream 7 (2026)
“I’m gonna make everyone you love suffer.” Despite moving to a new town and establishing her family there, Sydney Prescott has to face off with an old enemy, Ghostface, one more time. Neve Campbell reprises her role as Sydney for the sixth time in 2026’s Scream 7. Returning are Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers, RogerContinue reading “Scream 7 (2026)”
Throwback Thursday: Wicked (1998)
“Dad, you love me, don’t you?” Tonight we’re taking a trip all the way back to 1998 when Julia Stiles was still a relatively unknown actress, a mere year before her breakout role in 10 Things I Hate About You and three years before her starring role in Save The Last Dance. Yep, tonight we’reContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Wicked (1998)”

Let’s Ride #31! Happy Halloween! You’ve successfully made it to the FINAL day of Thirty-One Days O’Horror! For today, yours truly decided to take a quick look at the granddaddy of all killer car/highway horror films, 1983’s Christine!

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Monster Man (2003)
Let’s Ride #23! 2003’s Monster Man is a film that left me full of mixed feelings. The bulk of the film isn’t that great. It’s littered with bad, sophomoric jokes, most of which are delivered by Justin Urich as Harley, who comes off as a blend of every single stereotypical fun-loving jerk who the viewerContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Monster Man (2003)”
