Blu-ray Review: The Funhouse (1981)

Blu-ray Review: The Funhouse (1981)

After some truly creepy shit with a young kid waltzing right into the middle of his naked sisters shower… you know the kind in these flicks, where our heroine absently soaps up her breasts more than anyone in the history of ever has done… and pretends to kill her, slasher style along with stern warning from her father (not shower based) to stay away from the local carnival/recent murder site (I bet those words have been strung together more times than we can imagine), Amy Harper (Elizabeth Berridge) and her friends head directly to the local carnival/recent murder site. After much fairground fuckery, including a sideshow featuring deformed animals and fetuses (fun for the whole family!), a magic show featuring Marco the Magnificent (the Phantom of the Paradise himself, William Finley), and a disastrous visit to the resident mystic, Madame Zena (Sylvia Miles), Amy and the gang decide to stick around after hours and spend the night in the eponymous

Horror-Comedy 'Greywood's Plot! Debuts On Digital This Week

Indie Horror-Comedy ‘Greywood’s Plot!’ Hunts Down A Cryptid (Trailer)

Greywood’s Plot!, a pitch-black horror-comedy from producers Jason Goldberg (Glorious) and Brandon Waites (Followed) is headed your way this September.

Scripted by Stifter and Degnan, Greywood’s Plot! “explores the hunger for instant gratification in a modern world and the dark lengths mediocre men will go for infamy.” “A struggling paranormal blogger named Dominic is on the verge of ending things forever when a mysterious package arrives on his doorstep and changes his life… A rare sighting of a classic cryptid caught on tape sends Dom and his best friend Miles on a road trip to find the fabled creature — and repair a fractured friendship along the way. Their half-baked journey leads them to a plot of land

Movie Reviews: Chattanooga Film Festival Short Films “Cruise,” “Exo Sapien,” “Smile,” “Sucker,” and “Red Is the Color of Beauty” 

Movie Reviews: Chattanooga Film Festival Short Films “Cruise,” “Exo Sapien,” “Smile,” “Sucker,” and “Red Is the Color of Beauty” 

Cruise Once, many, many moons ago, I worked a temporary job at a call center, and it was the most soul-sucking employment I have ever experienced. Writer/director Samuel Rudykoff’s horror comedy Cruise ratchets up things to another level as his short sees employees at a scam cruise-contest call center lose their souls along with their lives if they don’t close calls successfully. Jake (Chad Andrews) and Mark (Simon Pond) both give it their best shot, with an unforgiving supervisor (Ray James) keeping a close watch. The performances are all super solid, and Rudykoff does a great job building suspense while delivering laughs. Exo Sapien South African science fiction suspenser Exo Sapien, written and helmed by Fried Barry director/cowriter James C. Williamson, finds space explorer Cass (Lisa Scholtz) trying to survive on a hostile Earth after her vehicle crashes in a remote area. Suffering memory loss and being hunted down by scavengers and other dangers, she carries with her a mysterious

Movie Review: The Brain From Planet Arous (1957)

Movie Review: The Brain From Planet Arous (1957)

After some patented ’50s era wise-assin’ and a trek through the desert, Steve March (John Agar) becomes possessed by an evil brain from outer space with bedroom eyes named Gor (voiced by Dale Tate and supplemented by non-stop War of the Worlds noises). At first Steve/Gor is just an animal abusing handsy creep, but before long he sets his sights higher and begins threatening the entire world with his evil machinations, all realized through the glory of that sweet, sweet stock footage. Thankfully a friendly-ass brain creature named Vol (also voiced by Tate) comes to earth and possesses Steve’s fiancé Sally’s (Joyce Meadows) dog, as one naturally would… and he’s determined to put an end to Gor’s bullshit, pronto! You read that deliriously daffy sinister synopsis up top, so you already know that The Brain From Planet Arous has a hell of a yarn to spin, and boy-fucking-howdy does it ever! Add in some groovy creature designs for our creepy

Dracula Party’s New Video Included on VinSyn’s Release of Scared to Death!

Our pals, the fangtastically batty boys known as Dracula Party, have just dropped their latest video… this time for the track Scared to Death… and the damned thing has gone and been picked up by those devious devils at Vinegar Syndrome for inclusion on their Blu-ray release of the 1980 William Malone creature feature of the same name!

Tribeca Festival Heaps on the Horror at Midnight

Tribeca Festival Heaps on the Horror at Midnight

Tribeca Festival has a tantalizing, sure-to-be-terrifying array of horror movies, thrillers, and related genre offerings slated for this year’s Midnight section of the renowned fest, which takes place June 8–19, 2022 in New York City. Along with the Midnight section, the TribecXploitation series offers three NYC-shot grindhouse classics on the big screen, presented by their directors. Following are brief descriptions of each film, followed by my thoughts in italics. Midnight Attachment Maja and Leah’s new relationship is interrupted when mysterious things start happening in their London flat. It seems that Leah’s disapproving mother, who lives downstairs, is using Jewish folklore to come between them. Folk horror is red hot at the moment, and religious horror is always a popular subgenre. It sounds as though this slice of Danish fear fare may have elements of both, and the acting is said to be particularly strong. The Black Phone Locked in a soundproof basement by a masked child killer, a teenage boy
