#114 HAUNTED BY CHRISTMAS: A Christmas Carol

My Haunted Head ·

2025/12/21

It's a story that's haunted every Christmas since 1843 — A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. It's one of the most famous books ever published, and one of the most often adapted for film and television. Among the countless versions of Dickens' classic, one stands apart as the darkest and most chilling: the 1984 adaptation starring George C. Scott. It's a version that is sobering, heartbreaking and utterly frightening. My Haunted Head wishes you a haunted Christmas. #christmas #horror

#113 THE CHRISTMAS HORROR OF TALES FROM THE CRYPT

My Haunted Head ·

2025/12/14

Christmas horror is the collision of warmth and menace…it turns tradition upside down, and nothing is safe or sacred. The promise of peace and joy might be interrupted by something dark and malevolent creeping down the chimney. Long before killer Santas became a full-blown subgenre, and long before SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT raised the ire of mothers everywhere, there was one short story that quietly set the template. For episode #113 we're revisiting one of the most enduring, influential holiday

The Death of Classic Rock

My Haunted Head ·

2024/09/21

WHAT IS CLASSIC ROCK? If you had asked back in 1990, bands like Jimi Hendrix, Steppenwolf and The Doors would have come to mind. But as the years have gone by, and so many groups have been around that much longer, it’s a phrase that has come to encompass countless other artists. Metallica may be regarded as a thrash band, and Guns N Roses a hair metal band, but they’ve been around for 38 and 42 years, respectively - they’re classic rock now. Their music has become woven into the fabric of our

Kent Collins: MONSTER KID & SLEEPAWAY CAMPER

My Haunted Head ·

2024/06/25

Kent Collins grew up as a Monster Kid, feeding his haunted head a steady diet of Universal Monsters and DC comics through the late 1970's and early 1980's. And then horror slashed its way into his life in a big way when he saw FRIDAY THE 13th and SLEEPAWAY CAMP. Kent and I kept showing up at the same events this past year or two, so I decided it was time to make a proper introduction from one monster kid to another. For episode #99 we peer into Kent Collins' haunted head for a look at his own

ATTACK OF THE SEA CREATURE FEATURES FROM 1989!

My Haunted Head ·

2024/04/20

It seems like every few years movie fans are treated to a heaping helping of deja vu, when Hollywood releases a series of similarly-themed films. In 1996, there was TWISTER and its doppelganger TORNADO starring Bruce Campbell. In 1997 we got DANTE'S PEAK and VOLCANO. 1998 brought us the extinction-level comet crisis films DEEP IMPACT and the macho cheese of Michael Bay's ARMAGEDDON. So for episode #98 I thought I'd talk about the wave of undersea creature features of 1989 which included DEEPSTAR
