Hey, so I hope y’all had a good Halloweekend. Once again acknowledging what time of year it is, I’m going to go ahead and get into the spirit of things. This week, in the spirit of horror, I will put aside references to Predator 2 and talk about movies that scared the ever-loving bejeepers out…
It’s been said before that a good horror movie is contingent upon having a group of idiots making idiotic decisions repeatedly, ultimately resulting in their demise. If we consider The Shrine, a 2010 film centered around an over-ambitious journalist, it should be noted that in some cases, only one of the characters needs to be…

The hideous, ghostly Phantom (Lon Chaney) haunts a Parisian opera house and seeks love with a beautiful singer named Christine (Mary Philbin). Ugly shut-away woos attractive woman.

Baddie – Genetically Engineered Vipers Lesson – Snakes aren’t that scary. Work on it. I realize that some people strongly dislike snakes. I also realize that some people strongly dislike Tara Reid. Unfortunately, “Vipers” has both of those things. Worse still, Tara Reid out performs the snakes. To compensate, Corbin Bernsen is in this movie.…
While you were eating breakfast this morning, or maybe dinner last night, Rooster Illusion was in a cave in the Himalayas cracking his knuckles (even though his Mom told him not to) and getting down to business. Note: His Mom told him that when he was younger. Rooster Illusion does not live with his parents.…
