Student Bodies (1981)

The three of us enjoyed chatting about this “Goonies for horror fans,” delivered like a time capsule from the 1980’s. We kinda wonder why it isn’t more popular today.

Tales of Halloween

They just don’t make ’em like this anymore. We thought Tales of Halloween was a solid horror anthology that was perfect for the season.

Elvira Mistress of the Dark

It didn’t make a big splash, but it did make a huge impression on both of us – and, we suspect, many likeminded souls of our generation. This movie celebrates all that is goofy and fun about this iconic character, and we had a blast revisiting the camp and the cheese this holiday season.
