SSS: "The Wicker Man" And Hebridean Cuisine

Horror Movie Franchises ·

2019/08/03

The week we review 1973's "The Wicker Man". It is regarded by many as one of the BEST British horror films of all time. Christopher Lee also considers this his best acting role. Too bad we can't say the same about the 2006 remake starring Nicholas Cage. It is famous for another reason. It's considered one of WORST horror remakes. And in honor of the Scottish Hebrideans (where the fictional island of Summerisle is located) we have some dishes specific to the region. Check them out here

The "Sleepaway Camp" Franchise And Tin Foil "Hobo"...

2019/07/20

This week we review the "Sleepaway Camp" franchise. There are 4 1/2 movies in the franchise (since the last one was never completed). This franchise is interesting because it has two different continuities (similar to "Night Of The Living Dead"). One follows Felissa Rosa as Angela and the other follows Pamela Springsteen as Angela. The series is definitely under rated. The first "Sleepaway Camp" has one of the most shocking finales in horror film history. It should come as no surprise that I went

2019/07/05

This week we begin a new segment entitled "Single Serving Size" (SSS). Unlike the biggest franchises, these are stand alone films that dont have sequels, remakes or reimaginings. They're perfect just the way they are. First up is "A Girl Who Walks Home Alone At Night". It is touted as the first Iranian vampire western. You'd think all those elements would not work well together, but they somehow do. "A Girl" is a refreshing twist on vampire lore. And since we're focusing on Iran, this week we bring

Horror Movie Franchises ·

2019/07/01

This week we cover Wes Craven's meta horror series "Scream". There are four movies and a TV series (with a new season coming soon) in the franchise. "Scream" is great because the characters have watched the same horror movies we have. It's also famous for giving us the rules of surviving horror movies-- as well as one of the best final girls out there. And in honor of the 90's I've included a few foods made popular then. Think lots and lots of snacks. Check them out here Photo Credit: here

2019/05/12

This week we cover the "Cloverfield" universe. What makes this series so interesting is the EXTENSIVE viral marketing campaigns that accompany it.
