Full Moon of the Virgins (1973) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza FULL MOON OF THE VIRGINS (1973) or THE DEVIL’S WEDDING NIGHT as it is also known is a great piece of Italian horror sexploitation directed by Luigi Batzella and the late great (but uncredited) Joe D’Amato. The film shows a flash of a woman in […]
Blood and Lace (1971) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This 45+ year old horror find had been out of circulation for decades until 2015. During the 70s, it was a staple at drive-ins, but had not been released on home media until a Shout! Factory DVD release three years ago. Now, Amazon Primers can […]
Psychomania (1973) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza A kind and pleasant Twitter pal reminded me of this movie after I reviewed VIRGIN WITCH (1972) as both films have Ann Michelle in them. I hadn’t reviewed PSYCHOMANIA yet, so here goes that. Admittedly, I’m not big into bikers at all. Unless there’s a […]
The Stepford Wives (1975) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The fact that this movie only has a 6.9 on IMDB infuriates me. This is one of the greatest films of all time! It’s a brilliant flick that celebrates feminism while examining the horrific notion of all advances being stomped away by an insane and […]
Scientology and the Aftermath: The Jehovah’s Witnesses Special
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I am not a fan of organized religions. As a child, I went to a bunch of churches and I only ever liked one. It was run by a non-judgemental hippie reverend who had a farm and brought in animals for the kids to play with. […]

The Stolen (2017) – Richard O’Brien Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Richard O’Brien portrays Mr. Russell who works at a brothel filled with lovely women. He is just delicious and I love this flick. Now to start, I do have a serious complaint. In a single scene, the film loses all credibility and becomes completely […]
DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS (1971) HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS (1971) wastes no time jumping in on a passionate love scene between the two leads newlyweds Stefan (John Karlen) and Valerie (Danielle Ouimet). They head to a hotel to celebrate their marriage, but all is not well. Stefan’s mother seems like a […]
THE BEYOND (1981) Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza THE BEYOND (1981) is one of the rare films that still freak me out. I’ll watch it tonight because the hubby is home. If I was alone, I would not be venturing into this territory. This, Bob Clark’s BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974) and Lamberto Bava’s DEMONS […]
Lisa and the Devil (1974) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Some say Telly Savalas portrays the devil in this film. I contend he portrays Telly Savalas in it. Moreso, I contend he always plays Telly Savalas and he’s awesome at it. Lisa Reiner (Elke Sommer) is hanging outside listening to a tour guide talk about […]
Requiem For a Vampire (1971) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I miss when vampire movies were done right! When I drown myself in the 70s, I know I’m getting lots of sex, gore and insanity brought to me by the most kick-ass femme fatale leads of all time. Virgins (yep, go with it) Marie (Marie-Pierre […]
