Witchboard: The Possession
Even during the “anything goes” days of the late-1980s VHS craze, the unremarkable horror franchise Witchboard never quite caught on with audiences in the same way as dozens of other low budget, video-store bound chillers. Perhaps that’s because while similar…

Queen Of Outer Space
It’s not all black & white “noir” and Criterion Collection classics over at TCM. The channel also airs weird, obscure (or not) “underground” films and B-movies that are often (mis)categorized as “cult” flicks. Tonight (and into this morning) TCM is…
End Of The World

It’s been three decades since the Steven Spielberg-produced Gremlins first hit theaters and both delighted and frightened an entire generation of kids. In celebration of the film’s 30th anniversary and its first time being released as a digital download, the…

Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971)
One of the most politically incorrect films of all time, Pretty Maids All In a Row is easily Roger Vadim’s most audacious film. Scripted by Gene Roddenberry it focuses on the strange happenings taking place at a California high school….
15 Hilarious Indie Horror Films Every Fan Should See
I love horror comedies. I like em gorey, I like em cheesy and yeah I also like em with some great 80′s production values. That said I wanted to share films that are funny, gorey and abso-friggin-lutely hilarious. Admittedly all…
