To All a Goodnight (1980)
David Hess was no stranger to the world of celluloid horror when he stepped behind the camera for his directorial debut (and swan song as of this printing). As an actor he made us cringe as Krug, the scariest of … Continue reading
Proto-Slashers #11 – Alice, Sweet Alice (1976)
Looking at the flicks that paved the way for Halloween and the heyday of slasher movies. ALICE, SWEET ALICE (1976) Proto-Slashers frequently contain more plot and depth of character than later straight up classic slashers. A case in point is … Continue reading
Home, Sweet Home (1981)
Once upon a time there was this bodybuilding guru named Jake. Jake Steinfeld actually, but he went by Body by Jake and built an empire as trainer to the stars. He was rumored to be the only man to make … Continue reading
The Year of SOV: Blood Lake (1987)
I don’t know why when horror fanatics hear the word “obscure” they think they have to see that movie! I mean, maybe it’s obscure for a reason! It’s kind of a sickness we have, to hunt down the rarest of horror, … Continue reading

SOV Summer: Boardinghouse (1982) Review
*Note: I wrote this review before Code Red’s release of this incredible film. For those of you unaware of who exactly to blame for the shot-on-video sub-genre, look no further than director David Wintergate who made the first SOV flick, … Continue reading
Schizoid (1980) Review
“Schizoid” feels like a violent slasher made for the Lifetime network. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing though. That automatically separates it from the pack and creates the illusion you are watching something new, when in fact it is just … Continue reading
The Mutilator (1985) Review
Sometimes slasher films fail to live up to their titles – The Toolbox Murders, The Driller Killer, Nail Gun Massacre and countless others were nothing more than yawn-inducing drivel.
