Travel back in time with me to 1892 to discuss DEL TENNEY's fiendishly catty proto-slasher CURSE OF THE LIVING CORPSE. Following the death of their abusive sadistic father, a gaggle of his horrid offspring descend upon the creepy old family mansion to collect their inheritance only to be murdered one by one in the most deliciously gruesome ways.

Our WOMEN IN HORROR MONTH Celebration continues with a look at IRIS K. SHIM's film UMMA. In UMMA, a Korean-American woman living on an isolated farm with her teenage daughter has her world turned upside down when the ashes of her abusive mother are delivered for her to bury. The longer she resists giving her Umma her final respects, the angrier Umma's spirit becomes. At first glance, UMMA is a straightforward ghost/possession story that plays with the universal fear of becoming one's parents. ...

Thirteen years ago, I began the tradition of the FRIDAY THE 13th SPECTACULAR where I set out to discuss the FRIDAY THE 13th series in a way I hadn't heard before. Now, I'm thirteen years older. I'm thirteen years wiser. It's time to go back to where it all started. I'm going back to Camp Crystal Lake. But this time...I'm not going alone. I've enlisted the help of two fabulous out, gay horror filmmakers, BART MASTRONARDI ("Vindication", "Tales of Poe") and MICHAEL VARRATI ("Tales of Poe", "...

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays...unless you live in the house a recently escaped killer used to reside in. Following the tradition of the past few years, I let you, the listeners, decide what holiday horror movie I covered in December. You spoke. I obey. The winner by a landslide was BLACK XMAS (2006). A houseful of sorority sisters are about to wish they went home for Christmas break, because serial killer Billy Lenz just escaped from the mental hospital, and he doesn't ca...

Three young Evangelical movie users find a strange unmarked roll of film in the theater's basement. Thinking it might be porn, they screen the movie and accidentally unleash a bloodthirsty succubus. But in order to survive, they must not only conquer the demon they released but also the demons they hide within themselves. Despite the provocative title, PORNO (2019) isn't really about explicit nudity, sex and exploitation. At its core, it's a surprisingly thoughtful morality play about faith and ...

Halloween may be over, but the horrific hijinx continue with the delightful vampire comedy I HAD A BLOODY GOOD TIME AT HOUSE HARKER (2016). The bumbling descendants of Jonothan and Mina Harker must raise $50,000 to save their ancestral home, and their elaborate scheme to cash in on their vampire-slaying history accidentally kicks off an actualvampire apocalypse.
