Bloody Moon (1981) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I decided that I’m still in the mood to watch some Jesús Franco films so I’m delving a few years forward to 1981 and the German/Spain film BLOODY MOON (1981).

SUCCUBUS (1968) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza With a tag-line of the sensual experience of ‘69, I have already fallen for Jesús Franco’s SUCCUBUS (1968). I love Franco and his visual choices in depicting variations on S&M, BDSM and sex in general, so if you’re only interested in whether I enjoyed the […]
HOME SWEET HOME (1981) – THANKSGIVING HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza There are not many Thanksgiving horror films out there. Thankfully, one of the few we do have, HOME SWEET HOME (1981) is a wonderful train wreck of insanity.

Puppet Master The Littlest Reich (2018) – Horror Movie Review
