By Melissa Antoinette Garza This film opens stating that it’s based on a true story. I don’t know how much of the plot really happened. I’m guessing around zero percent. Whether fiction or non, MACABRE (1980) is whacked out, strange fun, for all who have a twisted taste for […]

SLEEPAWAY CAMP III: TEENAGE WASTELAND (1989) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The bitch is back with a frizzy rocker hairdo and a much sassier bad-girl attitude. Pamela Springsteen returns as Angela in the third SLEEPAWAY CAMP entry and just like the others, I enjoy it immensely. As the movie opens, we see Angela murder Maria (Kashina […]
Thirst (1979) – Horror Movie Review

SLEEPAWAY CAMP II: UNHAPPY CAMPERS (1988) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When I was 12 years old, this was my jam! I’d rent this and SLEEPAWAY CAMP III: TEENAGE WASTELAND (1989) all the time. I had virtually no friends so I had plenty of time to watch cheesy silly horror flicks. Being a loser loner wasn’t all […]
Killer’s Moon (1978) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza KILLER’S MOON (1978) is definitely a move not for the easily triggered. It’s an effective dark unyielding nightmare into a horrific situation. The best the viewer can hope for is that it will end. Raw and pessimistic tragedies was a sub-genre of 70’s horror. For […]
Girly (1970) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love the insane villains of the 1970s. The way that women were allowed to tap into sexy crazy back then. DEATH GAME (1977), LET’S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH (1971) and THE BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE (1972) are all sensational examples of the different ways […]
Satan’s Slave (1976) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza SATAN’S SLAVE (1976) is all sorts of 1970sBritish satanic cult sexiness. I love this horror style. It’s very similar in tone and pace to the lesbian vampire movies of the same ilk. It’s hauntingly erotic, very naughty and contains some genuinely creepy scenes that solidifies […]
Tuff Turf (1985) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When I was 16, I bought TUFF TURF (1985) and TAPEHEADS (1988) the same day for $1.99 each at the first video rental shop I worked at. That four bucks brought me so much joy! I still love the films and though I know I have […]
The Company of Wolves – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I am a sucker for R rated fairy-tale fantasies. On the camp side I’ll take DEADTIMES STORIES (1986) any day of the week, for something more erotic I venture to THE BEAST (1975) and for the artistically sexy I go to THE COMPANY OF […]
A Clockwork Orange (1971) – Sci Fi Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Shame on Malcolm McDowell for making Alex so deliciously yummy! Alex is evil. He’s wrong. He’s so bad. He’s a criminal deviant…….but God is he sexy! A CLOCKWORK ORANGE opens as Alex narrates the violent escapades of him and his friends Georgie (James Marcus), Pete […]
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza If ever a horror film could tear your heart out, it is WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE (1962). Two of the strongest most idolized women in Hollywood history, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, own every moment as the shining stars of this picture. Sometimes […]
