Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1972)
I’ve reviewed a few films from that no-frills purveyor of splashy horror American-International Pictures, or AIP. The studio known for putting old studio stars in sometimes sexy, always ridiculous splatterfests enters … Continue Reading Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1972)
Dracula’s Daughter (1936)

Demon Seed (1977)

The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
I always try to include a more contemporary horror master in my 31 Days of Horror. Last year I reviewed Tobe Hooper’s borderline offensive cult classic The Funhouse (1981). This … Continue Reading The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
Trilogy of Terror (1975)

The Cat and the Canary (1927)
Audiences today complain about Hollywood’s dearth of creativity, with endless remakes peppering your local multiplex. But it’s ironic to hear this when many classic movies were made by this process … Continue Reading The Cat and the Canary (1927)

What can be written about The Shining at this point? It’s a masterpiece directed by the legendary Stanley Kubrick that tells a horror story both in the mind and outside … Continue Reading The Shining (1980)
Gaslight (1944)
On first blush, George Cukor’s Gaslight isn’t a horror film. But it is if you’re a woman. The term commonly pops up today but most don’t know the movie it’s … Continue Reading Gaslight (1944)
