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.

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 […]

Dr. Giggles (1992) – Horror Film Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I hadn’t watched this film since it was released to VHS back in the day. This is another movie I watched with my cousin Traci. I was about 13 years old and I remember we believed her house was haunted. Fourteen was much younger than it […]
PINOCCHIO’S REVENGE (1996) – Demon/Psychological Horror Movie Review
By Chris Summerfield When it comes to horror I have always been a huge fan of Chucky, Puppet Masters and any other type doll movie, as they are obscure and in many ways different from the mainstream, so obviously I had to own this one… The movie begins in, Tampa […]
My Soaps Have Returned: Welcome Back: All My Children & One Life to Live
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love Hulu for so many reasons. I can watch Community whenever I want. It has old shows like Crime Story and Family Ties. I’ve watched excellent documentaries like Jesus Camp and Capturing the Friedmans. It really has everything, but NOW it has so much […]
