Ghostbusters II – Halloween Horror Month Movie Spectacular 2013 Day 31
I end the month the way I started it; with some ghost-busting. Specifically, Ghostbusters II. The first time I saw it was when my parents rented it on VHS for my birthday one year. I was hugely into the Real … Continue reading

Hellraiser – Halloween Horror Month Movie Spectacular 2013 Day 30
To me Hellraiser is the quintessential horror movie. Not, I hasten to add, my favourite. But if I were to suggest a type specimen for the species “horror movies,” Hellraiser would be among the first I thought of. Pinhead is … Continue reading

In the Mouth of Madness – Halloween Horror Month Movie Spectacular 2013 Day 29
In the Mouth of Madness is one of my favourite movies. It’s also the best Lovecraftian horror movie made thus far, despite (or perhaps due to) not being based directly on any of Lovecraft’s work. The tone, however, is very … Continue reading

My Name Is Bruce – Halloween Horror Month Movie Spectacular 2013 Day 28
My Name Is Bruce is a movie aimed at fans of Bruce Campbell, or at least people who are aware of who he is. I think it would work fine for someone who didn’t, but some background knowledge makes it … Continue reading
Constantine – Halloween Horror Month Movie Spectacular 2013 Day 27
Constantine is based on the long-running (and now sadly cancelled) horror comic Hellblazer. A blonde chain-smoking trenchcoat-wearing English magician turned into a dark-haired chain-smoking American psychic exorcist? I was sceptical. Hell, I still am sceptical. I am a big fan … Continue reading

Masters of Horror: Homecoming – Halloween Horror Month Movie Spectacular 2013 Day 26
I tried to like Homecoming, I really did. It’s another Masters of Horror episode, and I’ve enjoyed all the others I’ve seen. But this one… It starts out with heavy handed political commentary which isn’t much fun to watch even … Continue reading
Masters of Horror: The Washingtonians – Halloween Horror Month Movie Spectacular 2013 Day 25
The Washingtonians is an episode of the Masters of Horror TV series. It takes the question “what if George Washington was a cannibal” and does terrible things with it. Terrible in a good way. The first half is far creepier … Continue reading

Apollo 18 – Halloween Horror Month Movie Spectacular 2013 Day 24
I happened across Apollo 18 on Netflix and was intrigued enough to give it a try even if I wasn’t sure if it was quite my thing. A found footage (that’s where my hesitation kicks in) movie about the “real” … Continue reading

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night – Halloween Horror Month Movie Spectacular 2013 Day 23
Dylan Dog is an Italian comic series starring the eponymous paranormal investigator and his assistant Groucho. Since I don’t know Italian I’ve had to make do with the sadly short run that was published in Swedish, and the Dark Horse … Continue reading

Tremors – Halloween Horror Month Movie Spectacular 2013 Day 22
My first introduction to Tremors was a friend’s older brother using the worms as monsters in a campaign for the role playing game Mutant. I didn’t actually watch the movie until years later. I’d quite like to see a movie … Continue reading
