Wishmaster (1997) is the first and the best in the four movie franchise, probably because Wes Craven made this one, but not the others. There’s some great cameos and supporting roles by actors from other horror movies, which was fun to see them in different roles, though it’s always strange to see Robert Englund in any role but Freddy Krueger….
I never realized until watching it again recently that The Fly (1958) was in color, for whatever reason my memory of it is in black and white. Either way, it has to be one of the strangest movies ever made. Patricia Owens’s portrayal of Hélène Delambre is hysterical to mysterious to psychotic. She’s killed her…
When I first saw Rosemary’s Baby (1968), I hated it. So now, I’m giving it another shot, thinking that maybe I missed something. Nope. I still find it dreadfully bland and anticlimactic. There are aspects of it that I enjoyed, so I’ll talk about those. The set is beautiful. The apartments and the decorations within…
Don’t you hate it when you watch a movie and it reminds you of another movie, but you can’t put your finger on which one? House of Long Shadows (1983) is like that for me, and I still can’t figure out what it reminds me of. It’s listed as a parody-horror, I’m not sure what…

Harry Potter and his family, yes, you read that right, Harry Potter, move into an apartment building where a Troll lurks, then disguises himself as Harry, Jr’s little sister, Wendy. It’s like the forgotten Magical Creatures prequel, filled with…
Universal Monsters have always had an impact on me, I’ve seen most of the movies, but not all are as intriguing to me as The Wolf Man (1941). This movie isn’t the first werewolf movie, but the most memorable. In fact, I don’t think I saw Werewolf of London (1935), maybe, I’ll put it on…
I cannot tell you how many years it’s been since I’ve seen The Invisible Man (1932), and I’d forgotten how wonderful this adaptation is. The effects are ingenious. When he takes the bandages from his head, it’s breathtaking. If they were to do it today, it’d be all CGI and gross. I love Una O’Connor,…
