“I want you to be my date, Rose.” Landing smack in the middle of what many have dubbed the “Golden Age of Slasher Films” (1978-1984), The Prowler (1981) does a whole lot with the very little that it has going for it. It drops a rather unique looking murderer into a standard slasher plot, givesContinue reading “Cult Classic: The Prowler (1981)”

Throwback Thursday: Edge Of The Axe (1988)
“Where are you, Gerald?“ I have to admit that 1988’s Edge Of The Axe never hit my radar until a few days ago. I was completely unaware that the film even existed until it was recommended to me on Tubi. I was intrigued by the look of the slasher in the film and was familiarContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Edge Of The Axe (1988)”
Classic Horror: Thirteen Women (1932)
“Don’t destroy their faith in the occult, Swami.” Using nothing but the power of persuasion, a vengeful woman attempts to take out thirteen women who bullied and harassed her at an all-girls school in 1932’s Thirteen Women. The thirteen women were part of a sorority that taunted the woman, Ursula Georgi, so much that sheContinue reading “Classic Horror: Thirteen Women (1932)”
Revenge of the Slashers!
Watch Out, Final Girls!!! Sure, last month was all about Scream Queens, but next year, Ken’s Alternate Universe will celebrate Thirty-One Days Of Horror with a month-long celebration of some of the most popular slashers in the business! I’ll have the big guys like Freddy, Jason, and Michael Myers, but I’ll also look at someContinue reading “Revenge of the Slashers!”
Reign of the Scream Queens: Felissa Rose
Scream Queens Icon For horror fans, few scenes were as impactful or unsettling as the final scene in Sleepaway Camp (1983). If you’ve never watched that film, I highly recommend it. Also, have no fear of spoilers for that film in this post. Just know that Felissa Rose could have walked away from her filmContinue reading “Reign of the Scream Queens: Felissa Rose”
Scream (2022)
“Do you like scary movies????” This is a spoiler-free review. Read on with no worries. Taking place twenty-five years after the events of the original Scream, the new Scream film is a surprisingly well done sequel. It could have easily been just another whodunit that trucks out Sid, Dewey, and Gale. Instead, it brings thoseContinue reading “Scream (2022)”
Classic Horror: Friday The 13th (1980)
They were warned…. Today’s Classic Horror features the first film in one of the most successful horror franchises of all time, 1980’s Friday The 13th. The film turned forty years old on May 9th of this year, so it’s fitting that I should highlight the movie that started it all for Jason Voorhees even thoughContinue reading “Classic Horror: Friday The 13th (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)”
Day O’Horror #13! Friday the 13th!
Camp Crystal Lake It’s Friday the 13th. What other film series did you think that I would pick to view this evening? Jason Voorhees has been terrorizing teens since the early 1980’s. The films follow the same basic plot (with some exceptions such as the first film which focuses on Jason’s mom and Friday theContinue reading “Day O’Horror #13! Friday the 13th!”
Wanna Play? Day O’Horror #3!
Flying Off Of Store Shelves Everywhere There are seven Child’s Play/Chucky films. Read that again and then think about it, let it sink in, and realize that a film series about a killer doll has been successful enough to warrant seven films (and counting, as an eighth film is already being cooked up). What mightContinue reading “Wanna Play? Day O’Horror #3!”
