By Melissa Antoinette Garza This episode stars one of my favorite actresses, Amanda Plummer. She has such a presence about her. Even in low budget movies like Satan’s Little Helper, she always brings her A game and adds depth to her characters. Lover Come Hack to Me is no […]

Tales from the Crypt: All Through the House (1989)
By Melissa Antoinette Garza In the late 80s and throughout the majority of the 90s, horror fans were entertained and captivated by the HBO television show Tales from the Crypt. The show was hosted by a sarcastic and humorous skeletal puppet known as The Cryptkeeper. He told purposefully bad […]
Twists of Terror (1997) – ANTHOLOGY HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I love anthologies, for the most part. You are usually guaranteed one good tale out of the bunch and even if they are bad, they don’t last that long. In 1997, TWISTS OF TERROR was released and features three tales that would best be categorized as “mediocre.” […]
Screamtime (1986) – HORROR ANTHOLOGY REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The 1980s produced a lot of great horror films and I always love when I stumble across from that time that I have not seen. SCREAMTIME was a pleasant surprise that came right out of the 80s and features three tales with a wraparound, making for an […]
Creepshow (1982) – STEPHEN KING, GEORGE A. ROMERO HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The combination of Stephen King and George A. Romero got most horror fans sexually aroused. The two meet up in a 1982 anthology by the name of “CREEPSHOW,” featuring five tales. Written by Stephen King and Directed by Romero, this film had plenty of potential but falls […]
Hollywood Scarefest 2003 –Low Budget Film Shorts
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I admit that much to my own discontent, I can be somewhat of a low budget snob. It takes a lot for a movie with no money behind it to bring me. The acting can be dreadful, the productions often try to be too artsy and […]
Black Sabbath (1964) – Anthology Horror Movie Review Netflix Instant Watch
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I had heard about this anthology on some message boards that had declared it the scariest film of all time. Even on IMDB, some comments indicated it was an extremely frightening movie. I watched with high expectations. I love anthologies. The 60s were a great time […]
Terrorgram (1988) – Horror Anthology Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Horror anthologies have recently made a slight comeback with the very disappointing mediocre entry, V/H/S (2012). Hopefully the sequel will be better though that rarely is the case. There was a time when horror compilations were fantastic. The UK which brought us some of the greatest […]
Where Evil Lives (1991) – ANTHOLOGY HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Claude Akins is a great actor and gives his last performance that was a little bit less than chilling in WHERE EVIL LIVES, an anthology from 1991. Akins plays “Jack Devlin” a caretaker of the “Spencer House,” that is obviously digging a grave from the get go, […]
The Lunar Pack (2004) – Werewolf Anthology HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I am a fan of anthologies. You have a better chance to get something enjoyable out of it then you would a full length movie featuring just one tale. In the microbudget horror world, anthologies may be a good idea because even the bad filmmaker will find […]

Two Evil Eyes (1990) – Edgar Allan Poe HORROR ANTHOLOGY MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza More than a hundred years after the legendary Edgar Allan Poe’s death, his written word still has the ability to petrify. When you mix in the brilliance of horror icons George Romero and Dario Argento the end result is a masterpiece. Two classic Poe tales are […]
