It's hard to think about your favorite movies, let alone horror and THEN rank them in some kind of order.

The Hype of Re-Animator: Is it valid?
A few weeks ago, Comet TV was showing a film with a familiar face: Jeffrey Combs. Granted, I recognized the other two actors alongside him (Ken Foree, Barbara Crampton) and it was the film From Beyond. It then reminded me, fuck, I had never seen Re-Animator. Yes, I am one of those people who take... Continue Reading →

SoH Reviews: Blood Rage aka Slasher
"It’s not cranberry sauce." Hold the cranberry sauce, what this movie is, is actually kinda fun. I had a good time watching this. I was also slightly confused but that takes a backseat to the fun. I’m talking about 1987’s Blood Rage (directed by John Grissmer) as it was titled on Prime but when the movie... Continue Reading →
SoH Reviews: All the Creatures Were Stirring
Directed by David Ian McKendry and Rebekah McKendry, a film released in 2018 is showcasing multiple stories around a popular holiday. Sadly, this is a Christmas anthology film that needs an execution punch. I go into these films with an open mind so I don’t have big or low expectations, I just wanna see what... Continue Reading →

Title: New Nightmare Year: 1994 Dir.: Wes Craven Producer(s): Marianna Maddalena Writer(s): Wes Craven Company: New Line Cinema Starring: Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund, John Saxon and Miko Hughes.
