By Geno McGahee In 1981, a horror classic was born. THE EVIL DEAD, written and directed by Sam Raimi, was a terrifying experience with demons and demonic possession. It was atmospheric and well written. It got its point across and is still brought up with regularity by anyone that talk […]

Home for the Holidays (1972) – Made for TV Horror Film Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I am a huge Sally Field fan. I just adore her. I love her in everything from Kiss Me Goodbye (1982) to Not without My Daughter (1991). I even enjoy Soapdish (1991). She is by far one of my favorite actresses. So many knock her for […]
Final Remains (2005) – Mortuary Horror Movie Review
By Geno McGahee Every time that I watch a movie from around this time I’m automatically returned to a time when the video stores were still around and doing well. Titles like FINAL REMAINS were all over the place and would often make for an entertaining evening. These movies have […]
Witchtrap (1989) – Horror Movie Review
By Geno McGahee The story of parapsychologists going into a haunted house and encountering an evil force has been done over and over and over again, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a bad thing. In the case of the 1989 Kevin Tenney film “WITCHTRAP,” it’s a great thing. You […]

DOLLS (1987) – Horror Movie Review
By Chris Summerfield So another look at killer doll movies and I have to ask the question, what is the attraction with these type movies? Maybe it’s the thought that something so innocent as a toy could become so brutal… Perhaps these movies are using the toys has metaphors for […]
The Burbs (1989) – Tom Hanks Horror/Comedy MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee There are a lot of movies that take pokes at the horror genre. Some do it well and some like SCARY MOVIE do not. There is not a better example of a horror film based comedy than the 1989 film “THE BURBS.” I hadn’t seen it in […]
Salem’s Lot by Stephen King – HORROR BOOK REVIEW
By Wayne C. Rogers Doubleday, Hardcover, 1975, $25.00, 451pp ISBN: 0-385-00751-5 This review of Salem’s Lot has been a long time coming just like the one on The Shining. Of course, I wasn’t writing book reviews when the novel first came out so I should be granted a little slack […]
Arthur C. Clarke: The Complete Collection – Aliens & Bigfoot Horror – DVD Review
By Forris Day Jr. I admit the fact that I am a skeptic by nature. I don’t believe 30 percent of what I hear. Many times people will tell me things and I just nod along as if I believe them when I really don’t. It makes them feel good […]
Dressed to Kill (1980) – Murder Mystery Thriller
By Melissa Antoinette Garza There are so many filmmakers who were inspired by or went into moviemaking because of Alfred Hitchcock. Brian De Palma is probably one of the most famous and well-respected directors, who adopted much of Hitchcock’s technique. More than that, De Palma often utilized Hitchcock’s style, […]
The Beast of Bray Road (2005) – WEREWOLF HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee This movie is terrifying because it is “based on actual events.” If this is true, then there really are werewolves and they maul people to death with regularity. OK, maybe they added a few things here and there to spice this up a little. The best thing […]
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (2007) – Horror Movie Review
By Chris Summerfield Have you ever been woken by loud noises? Heard creaking doors, bumps and bangs, ruling it out as nothing more than an over active imagination or just perhaps denying you had heard anything, but have you ever had that creeping doubt that perhaps you are not alone, […]
