We often judge horror movies based on how scary they are, which admittedly is extremely subjective. But do we ever rate them based on how “unsettling” they were? Scary is of course, the kind of fright that we feel in the moment, on the edge of our seats while watching. And unsettling is the type of dread that we feel long after watching. One such … Continue reading What Makes “Creep” So Unsettling
For fans of Shudder’s The Last Drive In with Joe Bob Briggs, it’s going to be another long wait until next season. But in the meantime, we can still reminisce and re-watch old episodes from Season 2.

When it comes to undead, flesh-eating zombies, “yummy” probably isn’t a word that comes to mind, unless you have a very dark sense of humor. This is pretty common among horror fans, and Shudder’s newest zombie original, aptly titled Yummy captures just that. It’s not the over the top humor that last week’s Scare Package relied on. Rather it’s much more subtle and witty (no … Continue reading “Yummy” – Movie Review
We sadly lost the godfather of zombies three years ago, but George A. Romero’s legacy remains intact. While many fondly remember his “Dead” trilogy which spanned from 1968 to 1985, many overlook the later films he made in that franchise, including Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, and Survival of the Dead. Since today marks the 15th anniversary of Land of the Dead, … Continue reading 15 Fun Facts About “Land of the Dead”
When it comes to meta slashers, films like Scream, Cabin in the Woods, and Behind the Mask are often the first to come it mind. And while all of these satirically poke fun at horror tropes, none go quite so far into deconstructing slashers than the often overlooked The Final Girls. Released in 2015, it literally takes its characters into a horror movie that they … Continue reading “The Final Girls” An Awesome, Lesser Known Gem
Let’s not forget that Father’s Day is also a time to celebrate stepfathers and all that they do. For the most part, they’re very kind and loving, and treat their stepchildren as their own. But in the very rare case, they’re actually murderers who go form family to family searching for the perfect one. So in the spirit of that, we thought it would be … Continue reading “The Stepfather” 1987 vs. 2009
There’s no denying that Jaws is one of the most iconic movies ever made. Its effects on the history of cinema are still felt today. And while some don’t consider it a horror movie, it follows many of the same tropes of a monster movie, and even has many plot similarities to Creature from the Black Lagoon. So in honor of this classic’s 45th anniversary … Continue reading 45 Fun Facts About “Jaws”
This worldwide pandemic has certainly disrupted so many aspects of everyday life, along with the cancellation of many events. This included the annual Etheria Film Night, an annual festival based on LA featuring genre films (mostly horror and sci-fi) directed by women. Since they were unable to have the event in person this year, Shudder decided to feature a virtual version, thus allowing for many … Continue reading 2020 Etheria Film Night Shorts – Review
Between Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, Scream, Cabin in the Woods, Behind the Mask, and many more, one could say that meta horror has become a subgenre in its own right. Shudder’s latest original, Scare Package, tows this line between meta and downright parody, all while presenting itself in an anthology style that horror is so well known for. The result is an out of control … Continue reading “Scare Package” – Movie Review
The 80s was filled with slasher movies, awesome music, cool gadgets, video stores, and of course, tiny little critters capable of unimaginable destruction. Gremlins was a runaway hit in 1984, and remains the 4th highest grossing movie of that year. So its 1990 sequel was pretty much inevitable. However, the sequel we got was an incredibly different movie in terms of tone and style. So, … Continue reading 30 Fun Facts About “Gremlins 2”
