Sci-Fi Horror is always a great combination for me, and when Roger Corman directs it for American International Pictures, I’m pleased as punch. The Beast With 1,000,000 Eyes (1955) is one of those films that by the end of it I was wondering what the fuck I just watched. It has Dick Sargent (the second…
For the 14th day of 30 Days of Terror, I picked a film starring one of my all-time favorite actors, actually two. If you’ve only seen the remake of House of Wax, I strongly suggest you search out the original. House of Wax (1953) is special because it has Vincent Price and Carolyn Jones. She…
Thick cheese has always been a valuable resource in the horror genre. For day 8 of 30 Days of Terror, I pondered which film had a strong cheese influence, and The Blob came to mind. Beware of The Blob, it creeps And leaps and glides and slides Across the floor Right through the door And…

I loved it from the first sequence, how is it possible not…
Vincent Price is my favorite actor, and to honor his birthday, I’ve decided to tell you about a few of his movies that I find exceptional. The simplicity of The Bat (1959) makes it strong. Even the one effect is stupendous; really, I’m not making fun of it. I wonder if they tried to get a…
Yes, I know The Greatest Show On Earth (1952) is not a horror movie. While it does have thrills and suspense and drama, no it is not horror. The reason I’m talking about this movie today is because February 10, 2019 marks the seventh anniversary of Circus Tarot, and The Greatest Show On Earth is…
