Wow, what a masterpiece! This movie was made by Tod Browning (the brilliant director of the original film version of Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi) and has all the same subtle creepiness that builds into a most satisfying climax that all of his other films seem to possess.        When Freaks was filmed…

   This is another “video nasty” that was banned for years and is making a comeback through revived interest and DVD releases. Cannibal Holocaust is pretty convincing, and although there was a tremendously popular belief that the footage contained in this movie is real, it most certainly is not. Some of the “cannibals” really are…

     This is probably the only movie to ever really scare me. The first time I saw it, I was maybe 12-14 years of age and only after years of assaulting my mind with twisted and bizarre movies am I able to watch it again. It has many frightening sequences, though after viewing films…

    Satanis is a self-made documentary by Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan. You would think that a documentary about Satanism would contain some shocking footage of some kind, but it’s nothing like that at all. It’s actually rather comical as Anton LaVey expresses his belief system while wearing his horned hood…

   The Bad Seed is one of my all-time favorites. This film has a huge cult following due to its constant unintentional hilarity. The story is heartbreaking yet has an unequaled ability to constantly hit the funny bone.        Little Rhoda Penmark is the epitome of class. She is overly ladylike, always impeccably…

    First, there was Night of the Living Dead. Then there was Dawn of the Dead. Now it’s Day of the Dead, the third entry to what was at the time a perfect trilogy. Three separate movies where the events are supposed to be literally only a day or so after the first movie. The…

   This little gem has been almost impossible to find. It was minimally released with Mondo Trasho when first produced, but not included when Mondo Trasho achieved an actual video release, which was John Waters’s first full-length feature film. Thanks to YouTube though, we can now finally get to enjoy it. How it got out…

   During the funeral of her mother, a little girl runs off and stumbles across the family mausoleum, the Nomed Family mausoleum (Nomed/Demon, get it? “Yeah, but did we really want it?”). Upon entering the mausoleum, her eyes glow and she fries a cemetery groundskeeper. She opens the main crypt and releases a demon of…

    Invasion of the Body Snatchers is by far considered a true “cult classic”. It was made in 1956 and much like Night of the Living Dead it had a great idea but no real money to back it up. Also like Night of the Living Dead, it wasn’t expected to be the monstrous success…

    This horrific masterpiece comes from a couple of the greatest masterminds of Italian horror cinema, Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava. Argento has been repeatedly labeled as the Italian George Romero, which is a huge compliment as far as I’m concerned, yet he retains his own unique and prestigious status among Italian horror.     …
