Reviewed by Melissa Antoinette Garza I am a huge fan of Bob Clark’s work. I think his comedic contributions are fine. A Christmas Story (1983) and Porky’s (1982) are classics in their own right. That said, being a horror fan, I’m always drawn to his darker work. It really […]

House of Mortal Sin (1975) – Horror Movie Review
Reviewed by Melissa Antoinette Garza Pete Walker is one of those horror icons that though isn’t exactly obscure, certainly isn’t given the recognition he deserves. Perhaps, it is the way he reflects on his own work which dictates the lack of reverence received by the horror community at large. He […]

Superstition (1982) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When the movie first began, I thought I had seen it before. There was a early 80s movie I saw a few years ago, where a witch came floating in a genuinely scary moment. After about 45 minutes, I was fairly certain this was a different […]
The Best and Worst of Christmas Horror
By Melissa Antoinette Garza One common trend in horror films is to take place during the Christmas holiday. Sometimes this setting helps create a creepy atmosphere, chilling moments and an entertaining premise. Other times, the entire movie is a mess that is awful, boring, and nonsensical. […]
The Power (1984) -Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I had never heard of this movie before. I came across it on YouTube and figured I’d give it a shot. Later, I found out the same writer for this film, Stephen Carpenter also wrote and directed the classic The Dorm that Dripped Blood (1982). Though […]
Hellraiser (1987) – A Horror Classic on Netflix Instant Watch
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Hellraiser has to be one of the only horror classics I had never seen. It always interested me, but I heard such mixed reactions about it. I always thought that Pinhead looked really cool, but I wasn’t sure if there was any substance behind the films. […]
Insane (2010) – A Psycho-Like Thriller
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Psycho (1960) is easily in my top five films of all time. Movies that attempt to pay homage or copy Hitchcock’s original are a mixed bag. For example, the God-awful remake or Happy Birthday to Me (1981) fail on every possible level. Others, […]
The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014) – A Found Footage Exorcist with a Twist
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I’ve been a fan of Jill Larson for years. As I’ve said many times before, I grew up on soap operas, and Larson portrayed Opal Cortlandt. She was Tad Martin’s biological mother, Erica Kane’s best friend and 1/2 of the super couple with Palmer. When Geno, […]
Kolobos (1999) – Rare Out-of-Print Horror Film
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Years ago, I saw Kolobos. It was long before the reign of mockumentary, found-footage, and reality show based horror flicks. It was years prior to the Paranormal Activity Franchise, the Grave Encounter films and it even was released a few years before Halloween: Resurrection. Kolobos not […]
General Hospital: My Life Long Obsession: Soap Opera Addiction
Where do I start? Since I can remember, I’ve watched, adored, and was absorbed by soap operas. I still mourn the loss of One Life to Live, All My Children, and As the World Turns.…heck I even wish Santa Barbara and Loving would come back. I’d even settle or the […]
Don’t Blink (2014) – Horror Movie Review (SPOILERS AT THE END)
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love films like this. Movies that pay tribute to shows like The Twilight Zone (1959). The movie opens with ten friends going away for a weekend to a lodge in a remote location that is three hours away from anywhere. By the time the group […]
