Thanks once again to TCM (Turner Classic Movies) for a great weekend of late night TV viewing. It was a double shot of fright flix by one of horror's greatest directors, George Romero; Night of the Living Dead, followed by The Crazies. The Crazies was classic Romero. Once again there is the potential for global chaos, but this time instead of zombies, the threat is from military biological

Spider Baby - A Dark, Comical, Disturbing 60s Pic With Lon Chaney Jr. I was flipping channels a couple nights ago and stopped at one of my most watched channels, TCM (Turner Classic Movies), as a movie starring Lon Chaney Jr. called "Spider Baby" was just beginning. I never heard of this film so I decided to give it a shot. This was a bizarre film - especially for a film made in 1964 (released

First off, I never played the video game and was not familiar with the premise at all. In fact, other than seeing the trailer, I really didn't know anything about this movie other than that it looked creatively intriguing. I love seeing movies that way and letting the story unfold; this is why I stay away from critics and ironically stay away from blogs and so forth on films I haven't yet seen

Being a fan of "The Ring" I was looking forward to finally seeing "Dark Water." Overall this movie wasn't bad, just not that special either. I understand how some slow moving situations can add to the tension and general eerie feel to a movie, but the lack of ripples, kept this dark water rather still. Jennifer Connelly, as always, delivered a solid performance. I'm glad I saw this movie, but

I really enjoyed this movie. It has a furious pace loaded with graphic werewolf violence and vampire gore. Kate Beckinsale constinues her role as the perfect sultry, vampire heroine.With the addition of vampire and lycan history, the story continues where it left off building a plot more elaborate and exciting than the original.Personally knowing the Hungarian language, I got a charge out of

I finally received Shaun of the Dead from Netflix yesterday and loved it. This was clearly one of the best non-Romero zombie films ever. The film started with quick, clever comical character development. Not since "Brain Dead" (aka Dead Alive) have I enjoyed a zombie-comedy this much. In comparison it's better than "Return of the Living Dead" and quickly catapults into top rankings with films

Okay, this is stretching to fit in my Horror Movies blog, but since it has fantastical elements, aliens and even carnage, I thought I should make a short post. I used to read and collect Captain America comics in the 70s. I loved revisiting the earlier works as well, particularly King Kirby's masterpieces. Anyway, feeling nostalgic I decided to rent this feature. Though I wasn't blown away by

I've said before on my personal web site, but subscribing to Netflix rules. I am watching so many movies of my choice than ever before. In fact, thanks to Netflix I recently saw the director's cut of Land of the Dead and just last night watched Godzilla Final Wars. Before that some of my choices included Dawn of the Dead (remake), Underworld and The Ring. Cable TV pretty much sucks. I cancelled

Well here I am watching another monster movie, but don't monsters have a home in the horror movies realm? Okay, Godzilla Final Wars (2004) available on DVD, is an all-out, action packed monsterfest that holds true to the vintage `zilla flicks that have graced the celluloid world over the decades. First off, if you don't like cheesy movies where the monsters are guys in rubber suits then stay

While Clive Barker's visionary opus, Hellraiser is a macabre masterpiece, the inevitable evil afterbirth known as the "franchise" has spewed out a series of mediocre movies with the 8th installment, Hellraiser Hellworld following suite. Even though the wonderful presence of legendary actor, Lance Henriksen kept my interest, the overall weak story and minimal usage of Pinhead, once again played

I was digging through my archives of interviews and articles I've written over the years and I came across an interview I did with genre veteran Brian Yuzna on the making of The Dentist. It's been 10 years, so as a 10 year anniversary, I thought I'd share this article with you. So here it is: Brian Yuzna on the Making of The Dentist Interviewed and transcribed by Attila Juhasz The actual

Peter Jackson's King Kong Okay, so it's not a horror movie, but it is a big-budget monster movie made by Peter Jackson. Most of us horror and monster movie fans don't immediately associate Jackson with The Lord of the Rings like the masses do (btw - I loved TLotR trilogy), but rather with classic genre staples like Dead Alive (aka Brain Dead) and Bad Taste. Anyway, the original 1933 classic

George Romero's Land of the Dead I'll start off by saying that I loved this movie on DVD - the unrated Director's cut. I'm tired of hearing from so-called hard-core Romero fans that this movie was just okay. Bullshit. This movie was fantastic. It was stylish, fun, intense and gory. This film had some of the best acting ever in a Romero film. John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper delivered top notch

That's right. The man who founded the original HorrorMovies.com is back in the genre web game. As many of you know, I founded one of the first commercial genre web sites called HorrorMovies.com in the mid-90s; I later sold it and the site eventually died (no pun intended). Fortunately someone else now owns HorrorMovies.com and has rebuilt it into a premiere genre store and is doing a great job
