Children of the Corn (1984) - Here's a short story by Stephen King that spawned an entire franchise, so it has to be good, right? Well, not entirely. It's average at best, but I've grown to like it.

Peter Horton and Linda Hamilton drive through the seemingly abandoned town of Gatlin, Nebraska, a recurring setting throughout the franchise, looking for anything. It's the old stranded/lost/need-directions... Continue »

What a genre, huh? It can be Santa, or some guy who dresses as Santa and goes on a killing spree.

Obviously, we've got Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984), in which nice guy Billy's parents were murdered by a guy dressed as Santas, so he's pushed to his limit and goes on a killing spree. A great 80s exploitation flick that was notorious among angry parents. Then, we had a sequel that mostly rehashed the same footage, and did no justice to the killer santa genre. Bill Moseley plays the ki... Continue »

I've got a 40 inch tv that's about 10 years old at this point. The color isn't as sharp as it used to be, and I haven't had the surround sound or dvd/blu player hooked up in ages. That means okay picture quality and mediocre sound.

I really fell off it for a while there, but I'll be getting an upgrade soon, to a 50 inch 4k smart tv with a 3D sound bar. I'm pretty excited about that.

My damn computer is about a decade old, too. I Haven't even tried using this thing for games in a long time,... Continue »

Revisited Korean horror epic The Wailing (2016) the other night. Directed by Hong-jin Na, of The Chaser (2008) which I enjoyed and The Yellow Sea (2010), which I've not yet seen but probably should before too long. The Wailing begins as something of an infected horror. A small rural village is plagued with inexplicable rashes followed by violent mania, perhaps related to a mysterious Japanese gentleman who has taken up residence in a nearby forest. But the plot thickens instead of devolving into... Continue »

I usually post the movies I watch in the yearly film companion threads on the Horror board, but IMDb can suck my fat dick. I'm just gonna post them here this year to avoid any bullshit. Anyone who wants to join in, be my guest.

Unless anyone has better ideas. I don’t. If you do, please post them here.

1) Still use IMDb ratings.

1.0 = 6 points.
1.1-1.9 = 5 points.
2.0-2.9 = 4 points.
3.0-3.9 = 3 points.
4.0-4.4 = 2 points.
4.5-4.9 = 1 point.


2) First time view = 1 point.

3) Horror at least 33% of total. removed

4) Trifectas. Yes. Director and series. For director you can bunch siblings and parent / children or grandparent / grandchildren.

At least one movie in each trifecta must be ... Continue »

Those of you from the IMDB Horror Board probably know about the Horror Challenge Spreadsheet I was doing. Finally got this year's done. Here is the link to the Dropbox location.
Feel free to open it up from the link provided or download and use/tweak as you see fit.

People really like found footage movies these days, huh? I don't get the fascination, to be honest. Never have. Although there's something to be said for the never ending popularity of The Blair Witch Project, which originally made Horror fans fall in love with the sub genre. I didn't like The Blair Witch Project, and not one Found Footage films after that even so much as piqued my interest. That is, until 2011. That year, a movie called Mega... Continue »

This movie... is actually pretty good.

Easily my favorite werewolf movie with Corey Haim riding around in a wheelchair.

I'm off today, so I figured I'd make it worthwhile and see a movie. I definitely wasn't going to see Justice League, so I picked this movie, knowing nothing about it really, except that it has a great cast. Frances McDormand is always wonderful, and this is a ballsy role for her.

It's an aftermath movie, in which she plays a mother, whose daughter was raped and murdered nearly a year ago, and she gets fed up when the police haven't done anything about it. It's almost like a Coen brothers movi... Continue »

Shark Fights
Undead Conquistadors
Excellent Special Effects
Fantastic Score
Blending of Romero Zombies and Traditional Voodoo Zombies

What more do you want?

One of the turkeys I watched recently was Sometimes They Come Back... Again (1996), a "sequel" to the Stephen King story Sometimes They Come Back (1991). However, none of the characters return, so it's mostly a thematic sequel, and Stephen King seems to have nothing to do with it. Shameless cash grab, perhaps? Perhaps not?

The movie itself is okay. To be honest, I don't really remember much from the first one, except that Tim Matheson was haunted by some trauma with some bullies... Continue »

I just got a contact email from someone trying to spread the word of a Dagon short-film project. The message is pretty straight-forward, so I figure I'll post it, if anyone is interested.

Hello, TrashEpics!

We're currently producing a 30 minute film adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's short cosmic horror story 'Dagon'. Our aim is to write a new little chapter into the Lovecraft mythos with the ultimate goal of taking the film to play at Horror festivals worldwide!

To complete the proj

So I was updating the Horror Challenge Spreadsheet (which I hope to have done before the end of the month), and I noticed there are a lot of different horror movies with the exact same title.
For example, there are 4 films title "Crawlspace" (72, 86, 12, 13), 7 titled "Dracula" (31, 31, 66, 79, 92, 02, 07), "Out of the Dark" has 3 (88, 95, 14). Those are some examples from what I have on the spreadsheet.
Dracula would probably be the king (or Prince, as the case may be).
What other ones can y... Continue »

I've been wanting to write about this one for a long time. But the more I love a movie, and the more fascinating I find it to be, the more of a perfectionist I become. And nothing I've ever come up with before never seemed to do this film justice. Blood Freak is a bad movie. But it's not just any bad movie. Unlike many countless others made before a... Continue »

Looks pretty good. My hopes are a bit lower than usual, since Marvel/Netflix's last 3 shows have been lackluster, but this is a chance to get back on track, and be as violent as possible about it.

Nightkill (Blu-ray)
A Stranger is Watching

November 16th, 39 days before Christmas, and the Christmas music at work has started. 39 more days. I don't know if I'm going to make it this year. If I disappear soon, it's probably because I killed myself.

To some it's a challenge. To others, a competition. But to some of us, the October Challenge is a journey. A journey through the good, the bad, the old and the new of the Horror genre. This was my seventh one, and it shows, as I was very hard up for quality FTVs, especially since I was completely unprepared. But I won't make the same mistake next year.

So, a big thank you to everyone who supported the in... Continue »

I last watched two horror classics, both of which are unique and interesting takes on the genre

Vampyr (1932) - 10/10

Could be considered a fairly inaccessible film for the modern viewer, but if you sit down and give this movie it's due then it's very haunting and creepy.

Night of The Demon (1957) - 10/10

I love that demon in Night of The Demon, but it's very true that the movie's strength lies on the power of suggestion, belief and superstition. And seeing the demon ap... Continue »
