THIS was probably one of the most randomly picked movies to watch and that says something. Hello, everyone and welcome back to another review post on Shots of Horror. Um, like I said at the top, this was probably the most randomly picked movie to check out on Wednesday cos I was in the mood... Continue Reading →
Invasion Horror
I didn’t know what to write about this week… I will say the benefit of being a constant writer and note taker is that I will write down ANY idea that comes into my head about topics on this blog. I haven’t had time to watch anything new (especially Poltergeist II) but I’m hoping for... Continue Reading →
SoH Reviews: The Fly II (1989)
The day (6/12) started out weird with the wifi going in and out. And since it was being unreliable, I had 2 options: watch dvds or watch my vhs tapes and there were only 2 left in my collection that I had to watch. I chose the latter. The other option was Poltergeist II which... Continue Reading →

Favorites: Special Effects & More
WE ARE BACK BABY! I took last week off and I don’t feel guilty about it. I’m learning when to just take time for myself and not push myself into doing something I don’t feel like doing. Plus, I didn’t really have much to say or post about here and get my head back on... Continue Reading →
SoH Reviews: The Black Cat (1934)
Oh it’s time for another review! I also sang that but you can’t hear that cos this is a Google docs and I am not inserting an audio file but believe me! I’ve been in a watching movie phase this year that was NOT present last year and it seems like each month is about... Continue Reading →
Triple SoH Reviews: Tales from the Crypt (1972), Altered States (1980) and All Hallows’ Eve (2013)
I’ve done these posts in the past before and if you’re interested in reading more than two reviews under one post, I’ll link it here! But I’ve been on a watching kick lately, I’m not sure why or this extra energy came from but I did watch 3 very different films basically one week after... Continue Reading →
The Grit of Horror (in movies)
It’s been a week, I've been waiting to do part two since last week! If you missed it, I did a post about some of the more aesthetically appealing horror movies and we got some pretty decent movies out of that. And I did promise that I wanted to do a “second part” which is... Continue Reading →
The Horror Aesthetics of It All
Another day, another idea that has been sitting on the white board of ideas for weeks. This week, I wanted it to be a little bit easier and simpler. And focus on something that I think we all take note of and that is… aesthetics. We live and operate in a world where we encounter... Continue Reading →
Horror Movies that Shifted the Landscape
This was mildly inspired by a recent Kill Count from Dead Meat on the movie 28 Days Later. It was something that was mentioned about how this movie changed the “undead” or zombie genre, even though it isn’t a zombie film but the antagonists were able to RUN. Zombies, walkers, the undead, they don’t run.... Continue Reading →
