By Melissa Antoinette Garza I had heard so many positive reviews of this movie that I almost rented it from Amazon for $15.00 a few days ago. My husband talked me into waiting and I’m glad he did. It wasn’t that the film was dreadful or unwatchable. It was […]

Excision (2012) – Amazon Prime Rental Horror Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I was perusing the horror section on Amazon Prime and came across Excision for rent. I saw Traci Lords was in it and that was it for me! I’m a huge Lords fan. I always thought she had a strong engaging personality. That combined with her sheer […]
Fingerprints (2006) – Netflix Instant Watch/Amazon Prime Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza In December 1938, a horrible accident befell a group of children on their way home from school. A bus stalled on railroad tracks and was subsequently struck by a freight train. Twenty-six students between the ages of 12 and 18 lost their lives. It is […]
The Dark (1993) – Monster Movie HORROR REVIEW
By Geno McGahee How can you go wrong with Brion James? He was great in THE HORROR SHOW and SHOWDOWN and he always brought his A game and overacting style that captured the hearts of so many. In THE DARK, he’s a former FBI agent, Paul Buckner, and he’s on […]
CRUSH (2013) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I am still a teenage girl at heart. I adore teenybopper films. Give me a John Hughes marathon any day of the week, and I’ll be elated. I love teen dramas, but more than that, I love horror movies where the focus is on characters […]
MY BLOODY VALENTINE (1981) – SLASHER/MYSTERY HORROR Movie Review
By Chris Summerfield “From the heart comes a warning filled with bloody good cheer, remember what happened as the 14th draws near” By the time this movie was released in 1981, the slasher genre had its grips firmly across the globe, what with Friday the 13th and Halloween returning for […]
The Wicked – (2013) Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza As of late, I have had very good luck with straight-to-DVD horror movies. After having a rough day, I opted to go to a Redbox kiosk with the hopes of finding Crush (2013). Though, they didn’t have any copies of that, there was a movie […]
13 Eerie (2013) – Zombie Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza As of late, most direct-to-DVD horror films are either torture porn, found footage, zombie flicks or a mixture of all three. Sadly, more often than not, the end result is awful. Zombies have notoriously been creepy horrific monsters, but nowadays they’ve lost their punch. Whether CGI […]
Shock Waves (1977) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I have always loved the idea of Nazi Zombies. When properly put forth, the living dead are some of the scariest monsters ever put on screen. Combine that with Nazis who in both historical accounts and fictional stories are horrifying villains, it screams “perfect horror film.” […]
Deeply Odd by Dean Koontz – HORROR BOOK REVIEW
Review by Wayne C. Rogers Bantam Books, 2013, $28.00, 332pp First thing I want to do is to thank Geno McGahee for inviting me to write for his website and with his many talented team members. Though Scared Stiff Reviews deals with horror movies, Geno allows his staff to write […]
Night Warning (1982) – Psycho Slasher Horror Movie Review
By Geno McGahee In film, you need to catch the viewer’s attention in the first ten minutes or you may lose them. The producers of the 1982 film ‘NIGHT WARNING’ understood that and added a little extra just to make sure. I can’t think of many films that begin better […]
HOSTEL (2005) – Sadistic/horror Movie Review
By Chris Summerfield This movie, though at times being disturbing, kind of brings back memories of those Cannibal movies of the late seventies… Perhaps, Eli Roth, was influenced by them? However I do feel he created a master piece when he made this one… My reason for this being it […]
