I can sum this movie up in two words: vampire clowns. Ok, it's more than that, but ultimately, it's vampire clowns. Do you hate vampires that act a lot like zombies? Do you hate clowns? If you said 'Yes' to either of those questions, you probably won't like this movie. For the rest of us...do … Continue reading The Night Watchmen (2017)
Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first day of the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, so I thought I'd celebrate by talking about a very particular horror movie filmed guerrilla style around the festival.

A young man who desperately wants to become a journalist gets the story as a … Continue reading Monster in the Closet (1986)
Hey, two college horror movies back to back. Now how do you like that? It's weird how themes come up sometimes. They're also both terrible, which doesn't really make things any better. I can tell you right now, the title of this movie pretty much tells you what to expect, first in that the premise … Continue reading Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College (1991)
