Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 15 – Demonic (2016)
I already reviewed Satanic; might as well go ahead and review Demonic while I’m at it. The movie is fairly ambitious in that it wants to try to blend together […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 14 – Venom
While not fully a horror film, I’m still counting this as an entry for the years Horrortoberfest. There’s a weird monster that possesses someone and it eats people so, you […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 13 – Satanic (2016)
I had been lamenting the lack of truly awful horror so far in this year’s Horrortoberfest. Then, lo and behold, along comes a recommendation that truly embodies everything that is […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 12 – Tusk (2014)
Tusk has such a weird origin for a horror movie in that the concept for it originally came out of the SModcast, Kevin Smith’s comedy podcast. They had found an […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 11 – Train to Busan (2016)
This Korean made zombie movie has had a ton of hype and good press behind it. So much so that it’s getting a sequel and an American remake. Thankfully, even […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 10 – The Ice Cream Truck (2017)
I was pretty certain I had a winner on my hands when I saw that there was a modern horror movie about an ice cream truck that I had never […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 9 – Bedeviled (2016)
Just like yesterday, this is another movie that has been sitting in my Netflix queue for ages just waiting for me to finally watch it. Since the Horrortoberfest this year […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 8 – The Babysitter (2017)
This one has been sitting in my Netflix queue for about a year at this point. I had been putting it off until now just so I could do it […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 7 – Invaders from Mars (1986)
The last entry of the 80s horror movie week is brought to us by the one and only Tobe Hooper, the director behind such classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 6 – The Strangeness (1985)
Any movie that takes place in a cave/mine, such as this one does, always runs the risk of being mostly just shots of incredibly badly lit people against a backdrop […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 5 – Uninvited (1988)
After a brief podcast hiatus, we are back to the low budget 80s goodness for the week. I had actually heard about The Uninvited before this as being noteworthy in […]
Movie Mastery/Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 4 – The Unborn (2009)
Taking a quick detour from the 80s horror week so that Jef can, once again, miss out on good movies and watch some crap that can’t even be saved by […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 3 – The Stepfather (1987)
Time for yet more low budget horror films from the 80s. I have to say, I almost feel like I was cheating with this one since it’s an actually decent […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 2 – Galaxy of Terror (1981)
Today’s movie ended up having a connection to yesterday’s. There was actually a poster for this movie hanging in the background of Chopping Mall. Who knows, maybe I’ll just do […]
Horrortoberfest ’18 Day 1 – Chopping Mall (1986)
The grand return of Horrortoberfest starts with a classic shitty 80’s horror film that I had, up until this point, managed to somehow not see. The basic premise is that […]
SMUG Engine – By Erika Chappell
Holy crap, a fan listening to our SMUG Engine intro from Afterthought 51 made a game out of it! It’s based on a game we’ve discussed before and greatly enjoyed, […]
Horrortoberfest Day 31 – Halloween (2007)
As it seems only appropriate to do so, I have finally gotten around to seeing Rob Zombie’s remake of the classic Carpenter film. I don’t hold the same hatred that […]
Horrortoberfest Day 30 – Mine Games (2012)
Sometimes a horror movie has ambition beyond just setting up scares and wants to give a puzzle for the viewer to unravel so they can have that “ah ha” moment. […]
Horrortoberfest Day 29 -Ava’s Possessions (2015)
Even though I grew up Christian, none of the religious horror movies ever really scared me that much. I think Rosemary’s Baby is pretty much the most boring, unintentionally goofy […]
