If you had a red haired daughter, what Stephen King parody would you film? Carrie gets a going over from Canes Venatici, but not too roughly, because that telekinetic young lady scares me! Anyways, this is the fourth of our summer film series, but not the last. hang in there for more in the coming weeks. You seem to like them, and we love doing them.
Above is one of the family activities we’ve taken up since the children have come to live with us this summer. They love the makeup and getting to be on camera. ThatCostumeGirl loves making the kids look disgusting, and I…well, I just think my kids look disgusting anyways. The aim here is to make at least four, if not more, of these little shorts before the kids have to go home for school. Hopefully this will all work out, but here we present out first short: “Do You Know Where Your Children Are”. We hope you have as much fun watching it as we did making it.
We're all in for a most frightening night!
And now, for my favorite horror film of all time, Fright Night! I love this film, and probably for personal reasons more than the quality of the film itself. I think it says something about a person that they can tell you a favorite horror film and its A) over twenty years old, and B) not gory. But, I’ll say as I’ve always said…trust in Hitchcock. Why would I say that about this movie? Read on, but if you’re here reading this, then you probably already know. (more…)
Michael realizes he's been hit with the deadly "Stinkpalm".
Sure, it begins right after Halloween ends, but did Halloween 2 have to take place almost entirely in a hospital? Sure, why not? There’s plenty of people to kill in a hospital, right…especially if one of them was your intended target in the first movie! (more…)
Michael prepares to have a discussion with Laurie in regards to wire hangers.
John Carpenter’s Halloween is one of my favorite films, screw the genre! It’s dark, it’s scary, and it’s entertaining without having to go light on the terror. It just goes to show you what you can do with a little ingenuity and a spray painted William Shatner mask. (more…)
It's good to be the Count.
I get what Francis Ford Coppola was trying to do with Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I really do. I bet he wishes it’d worked better. Or, at least he’d gotten some actors that knew how to fake a decent English accent. Clearly, he was trying to use a wide variety of camera shots and special effects across the spectrum of film history. I liken it to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that has too much of one of the elements. It looks good, it should taste good, and yet, the imbalance throws off the entire proceedings. (more…)
I told them I wouldn't stick around for pillow talk. Worst...Threeway...Ever!
As I pointed out in the beginning of the month with my review of The Blair Witch Project, environment is everything when watching a film. Being one of the better reviewed films of the year, as well as being touted as “the scariest movie ever”, I decided, against my better judgement, to give Paranormal Activity a watch. It accomplishes something that The Blair Witch just couldn’t. I have a feeling that this one will remain a bit frightening out of the theater as well as in it. (more…)
David Naughton keeps his pimp hand strong.
Werewolves. They sure kick ass! At least when they’re big hulking ravenous monsters that leave little of their victims left but cold entrails. Unfortunately for David Naughton in An American Werewolf in London, killing people doesn’t mean they’re out of your life forever. (more…)
Candyman tries out for Westside Story.
The best iteration on the “Bloody Mary” urban legend is of course, Candyman. I’m uncertain, but I think it might be the best meditation on the mirror generated villain. (Take THAT Boogeyman et. al., Mirrors, etc…) Now, when I make a top ten horror film list(I’m sure you’ve all done this, yeah?) Candyman always makes it. For one, I found it original, genuinely frightening, gory, and spellbinding. For a look on how the generation of an urban legend can be batshit crazy, read on. (more…)
