As we get closer and closer to the day of celebration. Well, for some anyway. And I’m still watching these Christmas movies. So here is the next eight. A Christmas Horror Story I don’t mind bad movies. They are fun to riff on, so there is enjoyment to be had. And good movies are the…

Tis The Season Collection Part 2 – “It’s Time For Some Seasons Beatings.”
Here is the Second Collection of Christmas Reviews for the month. The first four cover a few shorts and TV episodes followed by some season classics new and old. Enjoy. Bedtime For Sniffles When I think of Warner Bros., my mind goes to the iconic cartoon shorts they poured into the pop culture zeitgeist since…

Tis The Season Collection Part 1.
Hello there, peoples. Here is the first collection of my mini reviews for Christmas movies. Like what I did with Halloween, I’m watching one Christmas themes movie every day and writing a small review. Something bite-size that hopefully may inspire you to watch some of this oddball flicks.

“Wait. Who am I Here?” – Last Of Spooky Season Reviews of 2022.
And here, ghouls, is the final compilation of the Spooky Season reviews. They may be short, but its how I use them that counts. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) Okay, I know what you’re thinking. But this is one of the first successful horror comedies. And in my opinion, a damn fine movie. It…

I haven’t posted all that much in blog form recently. My apologises. I decided, on a whim, on the 1st of the month, to write a short review of no more that 350 words on a different horror film every day this October. And I’ve been posting them to my Facebook and Instagram pages. But…

“They’re Coming to Get You, Barbara.” A few Thoughts on Night of the Living Dead.
Yeah, I know. More talented and thought-provoking writers, critics and academics have talked about and analysed this film. This George A Romero film was a game changing classic of the horror genre, of course people would at least bring it up in conversation, if they’re fans. I think any one of the books and documentaries…

“Look a Prehistoric Bird” – House 2: The Second Story.
“It’s getting weirder.” Yeah, no shit. When you make a sequel to a successful film, it’s a given that the sequel will not be as good from the audience standpoint or from the critics’, compared to the original anyway. Its kind of like the law of diminishing returns of the film industry. Musicians are victims…

The American Zatoichi is Dutch.
We all have those artists, illustrators, musicians, actors, screenwriters, authors, directors and so many others, that we all love and admire. It might not be the person themselves, but their output strikes a chord and you wait with baited breath for their next creative endeavour to be released. As you already know, either from reading…
