“Don’t leave me. You don’t know what’s out there!” As we near the end of this year’s Thirty-One Days O’Horror, I wanted to open tonight’s post with a big “Thank You” to everyone that has read any of my posts this year. I really appreciate all of you visiting my page, clicking on posts, andContinue reading “TODOH #30: 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)”

TODOH #26: The Fly (1986)
“I’ll hurt you if you stay.” Based upon George Langelaan’s 1957 short story of the same name, 1986’s The Fly tells the story of a young scientist named Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) who develops a pair of telepods that allow him to teleport an item between the two pods. Seth develops a romantic relationship withContinue reading “TODOH #26: The Fly (1986)”
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 #5: M3GAN (2022)
“I won’t let anything harm you. Ever again.” One of the most recent horror films to make it into my list of Thirty-One Favorites is 2022’s AI/robotics terror tale, M3GAN. In the film, a young lady, Cady, loses her parents in an accident and is taken in by her aunt, Gemma, who happens to beContinue reading “TODOH #5: M3GAN (2022)”
Cult Classic: Night Of The Comet (1984)
“Daddy would have gotten us Uzis.” With a perfect blend of horror, humor, and science fiction, Night Of The Comet (1984) is easily one of the best end-of-the-world films from the 1980s. Writer/Director Thom Eberhardt dumps the audience directly into the film from the the very beginning and allows the viewer to ride along withContinue reading “Cult Classic: Night Of The Comet (1984)”
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)”
Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Super Hybrid (2010)
Let’s Ride #5! Trapped in a Chicago police garage, a shapeshifting car looks for an escape route, killing any and every single city worker that stands in its way in the 2010 killer car flick, Super Hybrid. The film stars Shannon Beckner, Oded Fehr, Melanie Papalia, Adrien Dorval, and Ryan Kennedy. It’s a good filmContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Super Hybrid (2010)”
Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Let’s Ride #3! Stephen King may be a much beloved horror novelist, but he is definitely NOT a good director. His first and only directing gig put him in control of 1986’s Maximum Overdrive. Based upon Trucks, a story included in King’s first short story collection, Night Shift, the film stars Emilio Estevez, Laura Harrington,Continue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Maximum Overdrive (1986)”
M3GAN 2.0 (2025)
Going In A New Direction I saw M3GAN 2.0 way back on its opening weekend. Sadly, I’m just now finding the time to give a brief review of the film. The film pits an upgraded version of Megan against a rogue version of herself dubbed AMELIA, a self-aware android that looks even more human thanContinue reading “M3GAN 2.0 (2025)”
