Movie Review: ‘Killer Legends’ The Documentary (2014)

As I was surfing through the oceans of movies on Netflix Streaming, I came across ‘Killer Legends’ a documentary about some of the origins of some of the most popular Urban Legends, that have influenced the creation of some of our favorite horror movies. ‘Killer Legends’ was written and directed by Joshua Zeman. ‘Killer Legends’ investigates several legends, in detail by visiting the place where they originated, interviewing people tied to the events and researching police records. The film begins with the story of the couple on lovers lane who see a strange figure and drive away. When the couple stops they find a bloody hook hanging from the car’s door handle.

Warning: This post contains spoilers, strong language, and general criticism of the Syfy show 12 Monkeys.

The first thing I was ever asked to write for the ZADF was a review of the Syfy show 12 Monkeys. It took me a while, but I finally got around to writing. . .well okay, so this isn’t actually a review so much as is a list of things about the show that really piss me off. Look I want to like 12 Monkeys, I really do. And I’m not even going to get into the peculiarities and paradoxes of time travel, the whole fate vs. freewill thing, or any of that jazz. No, my issues with this show are pretty specific, and they pretty much all have to do with scenes and stories that take place after the plague. It may seem like knit-picking, but there are just some things about this show that make me want to shout obscenities at my television. Starting with the fact that the future seems to be very cold and bleak place.

“Women in Horror Month” Spotlight: Heather Langenkamp

If you don’t know the name Heather Langenkamp, then odds are you don’t know your 1980s slasher films, which basically means we can’t be friends. (You think I’m joking, don’t you?) In the above photo from New Line Cinema, you see Heather Langenkamp as the sassy Nancy Thompson. In case you still are drawing a blank (or if this particular photo reminds you too much of Emma Watson as Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series, as it did me.), I present to you the most compelling exhibit: Heather Langenkamp was that Nancy Thompson. She returned to the role that made her famous several times since the initial Nightmare on Elm Street film in 1984. She returned in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), and again in 1994 for Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (aka. A Nightmare on Elmstreet 7: New Nightmare/New Nightmare.) She also was the narrator of, and appeared in, the 2010 documentary about the Nightmare
