The Howling
We continue Werewolf Month with the Joe Dante classic, The Howling. Chock full of stars, this one is credited with re-inventing the werewolf genre for...
An American Werewolf In London
Our first film is John Landis’ classic horror-comedy about two backpackers in the English countryside who get attacked by a werewolf. Hilarity ensues as the dead one comes revisits his friend to warn him that he is the last living werewolf in this line of werewolves and really ought to kill himself to save humanity. This film is most notorious for having perhaps the best werewolf transformation sequence in the history of filmmaking by special effects artist Rick Baker.
Night Swim
How far can you go with the concept of possessed water? We take a deep dive into this Blumhouse / James Wan production to find out!
From Beyond
Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton star in this Stewart Gordon directed special makeup effects extravaganza! This 80s horror flick is simple yet highly entertaining – with a smorgasbord of slimy body horror practical effects that kept our mouths agape. A young Barbara Crampton in bondage gear didn’t hurt either…
Maximum Overdrive
You guys chose Stephen King’s sole directorial effort, Maximum Overdrive, for us to pick apart. From noisy, smoke-belching cars to laugh-out-loud dialogue and hilariously improbable situations, there’s a lot to marvel at and yuk it up over. Classic rock band AC/DC adds to the fun of this wildly over-the-top cult classic.
Evil Dead Rise
With the new rules and lore established in this movie – now there are THREE books of the dead? – we can plan to see a lot more of this franchise, just as Bruce Campbell has promised. And if they’re all as fun, intense, and even genuinely heart-wrenching as this one, we’re in for one wild Deadite ride, folks.
