Rosemary’s Baby
Rosemary’s Baby is going to mess with your head, freak you out, scare you, and keep you up at night. An absolutely amazing piece of psychological horror! The book or the movie, it doesn’t matter. They’re both amazing…
Vincent Price – The Merchant of Menace
That voice, that face, those menacing expressions! Of all the great horror actors, my heart belongs to Vincent Price. He was one of the best and most versatile actors. Sophisticated, elegant, well-spoken, and deliciously menacing…
The Changeling
There’s nothing like turning off the lights, getting under a blanket, and watching a good creepy movie. The Changeling (1980) is definitely one of those movies. This one of my favorite haunted house movies. It’s got everything a proper ghost story should have: a grieving man, unexplained noises, a seance, and a hidden room…
Horror Movies – The Beginning
Have you ever seen the first horror movies? Grainy, black and white, by today’s standard not even the tiniest scare to be found!

Norman Bates – Psycho or Victim?

William Castle – The King of the Gimmick
“We all have a common interest: bigger and more horrible monsters–and I’m just the monster to bring them to you.” – William Castle…
Bang Bang Baby
“What the hell am I watching and why do I like it?” I repeated to myself several times when I watched Bang Bang Baby for the first time. But good or bad, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sometimes you just need something that doesn’t take itself too seriously…
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Ask any horror fan or read any list of the scariest movies, and chances are that Texas Chainsaw Massacre is at the top of just about all of them. It really shook me when I first saw it! It was released in 1974 and was masterfully directed by the late Tobe Hooper…
Tom Savini – The Godfather of Gore
The world of horror movies owes a debt of gratitude to Tom Savini. He’s been called the “Godfather of Gore” and the “Sultan of Splatter”. Either way, whatever you call him, a lot of the movies we all know and love wouldn’t be the same without him.
