It’s no Shocker that I completely blacked out Wes Craven’s Shocker

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Daniel

Being a huge fan of A Nightmare on Elm Street from the moment it hit VHS, I was most definitely a Freddy fan rather than a Wes Craven devotee. I never worshipped any movies just because they were made by … Continue reading →

There are monsters in my TV!!!!

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Daniel

And they’re both on one Blu-Ray disc! 80s classics The Video Dead and Terror Vision have finally made it back to the home “video” market after a long hiatus (aka: the VHS days). So while everyone else was watching the … Continue reading →

The Gingerdead Man needs a little Christmas spirit

Posted on January 18, 2013 by Daniel

In a last ditch effort to keep Christmas alive, I decided my next movie venture should be The Gingerdead Man trilogy. Needless to say, my biggest disappointment is that it doesn’t even revolve around the Christmas holiday! I know. Little … Continue reading →

Posted on December 23, 2012 by Daniel

Forget the story, suspense, or scares of survival horror. Lollipop Chainsaw is a straight up hack n’ slash arcade style video game that is loads of zombie slaughtering fun. It’s just you, a chainsaw, a hot dumb cheerleader sucking on … Continue reading →

What would Gremlins look like if they came from hell?

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Daniel

Gremlins created a monster—and I don’t mean the green Gremlins that formed if they ate after midnight. I’m talking about Troll, Critters, the classic 80s film Munchies starring Harvey Korman, and Ghoulies. How this particular film spawned 3 sequels is … Continue reading →

What comes from the 80s…and comes up from the sewers?

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Daniel

Do I have to spell it out? Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. C.H.U.D. 1984’s C.H.U.D. is one of those movies that all Gen-Xers will have fond memories of watching on cable. Upon a rewatch, it definitely made me nostalgic. It has … Continue reading →

Would you rather be slashed at Night School or a Killer Party?

Posted on September 4, 2012 by Daniel

Had an awesome forgotten 80s slashers marathon this weekend. Having worked in a video store in the late 80s, I’d thought I’d seen them all …until now. Night School First I watched 1981’s Night School starring Rachel Ward, who would … Continue reading →

The time Pinky Tuscadero was in a 1980 slasher? Happy Days indeed.

Posted on August 15, 2012 by Daniel

Why even bother writing any further? The headline says it all. That’s all that matters. It’s all you need to know about 1980’s New Year’s Evil. Okay. It isn’t. Pinky plays the host of a televised punk and new wave … Continue reading →

On the prowl for a forgotten 80s slasher?

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Daniel

1981’s The Prowler is almost a perfect lost slasher. It has a distinctly “My Bloody Valentine” vibe to it. It has a lead chick with a distinctly Amy Steel vibe to her—she even hides under a bed and has a … Continue reading →

There’s a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills on my 80s Tuff Turf…

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Daniel

1985, the year that brought us the epic masterpiece The Last Dragon, was also the year I first adored Demi Moore as the husky-voiced 80s bitch with the flowing locks in the movie St. Elmo’s Fire. But 6 months before … Continue reading →
