By Melissa Antoinette Garza There are not many Thanksgiving horror films out there. Thankfully, one of the few we do have, HOME SWEET HOME (1981) is a wonderful train wreck of insanity. It’s not subtle and it’s not high-brow. It’s over-the-top lunacy done with a self-awareness that makes for some […]

DEEP RED (1975) Horror Movie Review

HORSEPLAYER (1990) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This is a difficult find typically. I have a VHS And bootleg DVD, but since I just noticed someone uploaded it to YOUTUBE under the name BRAD IS BUD, I figured it was available enough to review. Brad Dourif is one of the greatest actors of […]
EYES OF LAURA MARS (1978) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza EYES OF LAURA MARS (1978) stars Tommy Lee Jones, Faye Dunaway and the fabulously sexy Brad Dourif. The movie has been a favorite of mine forever. Dunaway was one of my role models growing up. I just adored her body of work. At a very young […]

Puppet Master The Littlest Reich (2018) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Damn, this was better than I anticipated. I expected it to be funny and crazy, but this was fabulous. The film opens in 1989, where Nazi puppet-maker Andre Toulon (Udo Kier) uses his creations to murder a bartender and her girlfriend. When the police arrive, […]
Flesh For Frankenstein (1973) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Admittedly, I have mixed feelings about Andy Warhol. Sometimes I view him as the Andy Kaufman of the art world and I find myself respecting him. Other times I just see a pretentious nihilist who rebelled against members of his same ilk for profit. Whatever the […]
Love Me Deadly (1972) – Horror Film Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza LOVE ME DEADLY (1972) is a strange little film that could have only existed in the carefree chillness of low-budget 1970s brilliance. It certainly delves into some uncomfortable topics where necrophilia doesn’t even top the list. The film opens with a funeral service. Lindsay Finch […]
The Stepfather (1987) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza There are two type of people in this world; those who watch THE STEPFATHER (1987) and root for the mom (Shelley Hack) & daughter (Jill Schoelen) and then there are horror fans. This is a fucking classic. I want another a sequel to the OG series […]
TERROR AT THE RED ROOF INN (1972) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When TERROR AT THE RED ROOF INN (1972) opens we see Henry Smith (Arthur Space). Henry is a well-dressed old man with a killer green thumb (Nailed it!) He is kind, sweet and attentive to his plants. I’m sure I won’t change my opinion of this wonderful elderly […]
Cataclysm (1980) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza If you’ve ever seen NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR (1985) you obtained a glimpse. Footage from CATACLYSM (1980) was taken and a very short synopsis of this movie was shown to create the anthology short. I love NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR, but you must experience CATACLYSM […]
Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This is one of my favorite flicks of all time. It’s sexy, it’s raw and was able to break into the mainstream despite the nature of it. Usually, the R rated movies I liked flew under the radar because they were cult films and no one […]
