Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

This movie adaptation takes the imagery from the book’s nightmarish illustrations, and the urban legend tales that spooked us out so much as kids, and combines them into a “kids’ horror film” that manages to be the dark, twisted, no-holds-barred kids’ horror film that we have often lamented from our childhoods. A pleasant surprise and a fun film to talk about.

A small creature with large eyes and wrinkled skin sits on a bed, surrounded by clothes and toys, with a vibrant red rotary phone in front. The setting is dimly lit, reminiscent of a scene from a horror movie review podcast, with a wooden closet door lurking in the background. 0

Making Contact

We really wanted to fall in love with Making Contact (originally titled Joey), but it just didn’t make any damn sense. Still, the fantastic visuals, cinematography and ambition previews good things to come later.

The Witches

It turned out to be much scarier than we remembered, making it a perfect selection to continue our month of family-friendly horror films. And the remake is on the way, so we’ll see how it measures up to the original.

The Watcher In The Woods

What starts out as a simple ghost story takes a sharp and somewhat baffling turn. But what we can say about The Watcher In The Woods is that it’s definitely unique and controversial – and Bettie Davis’ role as Mrs. Aylwood is iconic.

A large, dark, reptilian creature with sharp teeth and small horns is roaring in a dimly lit room with a triangular window above it, setting a spine-chilling scene straight out of a horror movie. Perfect for discussion on your favorite horror movie review podcast. 0

The Gate

A bunch of kids are humanity’s last hope to close the gates of hell, which they have inadvertently opened, thanks to an unlikely string of coincidences. Have a listen to see if it lives up to Craig’s memories!
