While I acknowledge that The Howling is a werewolf movie classic and has a lot of appeal, I still feel very mixed about it after all of these years. With horror fans, the eternal debate is An American...

An unapologetic, warts and all documentary about an unapologetic, warts and all filmmaker, Degenerate: The Life And Films Of Andy Milligan gave me quite the rundown about a guy whom I'd heard about si...

Not many filmmakers would have the courage to start production on a 19th century-set Gothic horror film in England... but finish on Staten Island. And that's because there was only one Andy Milligan, ...

"I love you." "That is not enough." Evil Dead Burn has entered my physical media library. You know those peel-away labels on off-the-shelf retail medicine bottles, where you suddenly unfold pages and ...

What an utterly gorgeous-looking film, due to the production design and cinematography of Guillermo Navarro elegantly emulating the art, inking, and lurid colors of Mike Mignola and Dave Stewart from ...

We seem to be in the midst of a special kind of golden age in the career of Ethan Hawke. I look at and listen to him in The Weight and I can't get over that this is the same guy that I saw playing Lor...

Watching this film on The Criterion Channel with their excellent 90s commentary track (as I needed to watch something good after my last couple of choices) made me very aware of the visual atmosphere ...

(Note: the cat is neither hurt nor killed. Apparently, the cat was so uncooperative, they just stopped filming its remaining scenes. Smart kitty.) Although far too many filmmakers take horror movies f...

If I told you that this AIP adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror was briefly planned in the 60s to be a Mario Bava film starring Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff, but all three horror ic...

Undoubtedly one of the most famous titles in all of Poverty Row Horror, Bowery At Midnight manages to keep any horror elements of the plot literally hidden away in a sub-basement, where star Bela Lugosi stays completely unaware of what's going on. Despite Lugosi being billed as two characters (who is actually only one), his extreme multi-tasking gives him no time to be complicit or even knowledgeable of the mad science and resurrection from the dead happening literally under his nose.

"You make me see... what man must not see!!!" The Abominable Snowman is *the* Yeti movie, yet to be surpassed. Adapted by Nigel Kneale (the Quatermass series) from his unfortunately lost BBC mini-seri...

In observance of this week's Mexican Independence Day and today's Batman Day, it seemed only appropriate to check out Aztec Batman: Clash Of Empires. Most of the DC Animated "alt history" Batman stori...

A classic example of oneric, slow burn 70s independent horror cinema, Let's Scare Jessica To Death implies lots of Diabolique chicanery with its title, but what it offers is a far stranger strain of G...
