By Melissa Antoinette Garza Alexandre Aja, oh how I love thee. His directing style and his writing skills speak to me on every level. I wish he made every horror remake. The film world would be a far better place. Where other directors hold back, he revs it […]

Rock-A-Die Baby (1989) – Horror Anthology *Starring Dick Sargent*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza ROCK-A-DIE BABY (1989) is a horror anthology with a wannabe heavy metal band singing a song called Spooky Lady after each tale. Not convinced it’s good yet? There’s also a middle-aged woman telling her very young daughter these insanely inappropriate R rated stories, and if that […]
The Prodigy (2019) – Horror Movie Review *Nicholas McCarthy, Jackson Robert Scott, Peter Mooney, Taylor Schilling*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This was a last minute pick to go see. I was eating at an Irish pub with my sister and mom when the brilliant idea of going to see a movie struck. HAPPY DEATH DAY 2 U (2019) doesn’t come out until next week, but I […]
Swamp Thing (1982) – Wes Craven Monster Movie Review
By Geno McGahee When I was a kid, there was one film that I watched every time it was on HBO and that was the 1982 Wes Craven monster movie SWAMP THING. I was around 10 years old at the time and a 10 year old could not ask for […]
Goosebumps 2 (2018) – Family Film Review *Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Caleel Harris, Madison Iseman, Jack Black, Mick Wingert*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza As a teen, I loved Fear Street books. I owned them all. I still own a few and read them on occasion for fun. I’d also get the Goosebumps books, but FS was just a tad edgier. The Goosebumps show, however was right up my alley […]
The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein (1972) – Horror Movie Review *Jesús Franco, Anne Libert, Lina Romay, Howard Vernon, Beatriz Savón*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza What do you get when you combine Jesús Franco’s brazen sexuality and gore with Frankenstein? The answer is a fucking masterpiece of over-the-top insanity. THE EROTIC RITES OF FRANKENSTEIN (1972) opens with Doctor Frankenstein (Dennis Price) and his loyal assistant Morpho (Jesús Franco) are […]
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Maybe I just need to let Steve pick the movies from now on. The only real reason I went to this was because I’m a dutiful wife married to a great guy who deserves it. I had no intentions of really enjoying it. I […]
Leprechaun Returns (2018) – Taylor Spreitler, Pepi Sonuga, Sai Bennett – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I am a pretty big fan of the LEPRECHAUN series and don’t really hate the bad ones like when they put him in space and in the hood. It’s just one of those series that is just fun and the last real entry when he was “Back […]
Zombie High (1987) MOVIE REVIEW *Virginia Madsen, James Wilder, Paul Feig, Richard Cox, Scott Coffey*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza ZOMBIE HIGH (1987) is an overlooked horror comedy that deserves more praise than it gets. It’s silly and strange, but it’s a nice homage to movies like THE STEPFORD WIVES (1975) and INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956). The camp 80’s quality to it […]
Schlock (1973) – Comedy Movie Review **John Landis, Eric Allison, Eliza Roberts, Emile Hamaty**
By Melissa Antoinette Garza SCHLOCK (1973) is John Landis’s first film and it is sensational. It’s a ridiculous parody that is essentially a series of skits involving a Bigfoot type species known as Schlock. The plot follows an animal known as The Banana Killer. Anchorman Joe Putzman (Eric Allison) […]
Venom (2018) – Movie Review **Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Stan Lee**
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The husband picked this film. I really had no interest in seeing it. I didn’t know too much about the Marvel character Venom and I knew less about the film. Michelle Williams is an amazing fem goddess who I always enjoy, but this movie just never […]
THE NUN (2018) Horror Movie Review **The Conjuring Universe Continues**
By Melissa Antoinette Garza THE NUN (2018) was one of the few new horror films that I was looking forward to seeing. I loved THE CONJURING (2013) and its sequel (2016). I was satisfied with ANNABELLE (2014), but admittedly hated ANNABELLE CREATION (2017). When I saw the trailer for THE […]
