http://horror-movie-a-day.blogspot.com/ - I watch a horror movie every day. One I haven't seen. Then I write random comments about it. Ideally, dear reader, you'll do the same. For 90% of all horror movies, talking about them afterwards is more entertaining than watching it.

DECEMBER 3, 2009 GENRE: ITALIAN , SLASHER SOURCE: DVD (ONLINE RENTAL) One of my first trips to the New Beverly was for a screening of Anthropophagus (actually I think it was the B-movie to a Fulci film; I really need to look through their records and solve this mystery once and for all), which ...

DECEMBER 2, 2009 GENRE: GHOST SOURCE: DVD (OWN COLLECTION) LAST SEEN: 2000 (DVD) The summer of 1999 was rare in that for once I wasn’t one of the few people attending a Bruce Willis movie (I’ve seen more of his films in theaters than any other actor ever). As big of a star as he is, you’d ...

DECEMBER 2, 2009 GENRE: MAD SCIENTIST , MONSTER SOURCE: NETFLIX (STREAMING) As a young man, I had no qualms about seeing a remake before I saw the original (if I was even aware of such things when I was 7 goddamn years old), but that’s no excuse for it taking me this long to finally see the ...

DECEMBER 1, 2009 GENRE: VAMPIRE , WEREWOLF SOURCE: NETFLIX (STREAM) Oddly, I almost watched Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror (Spanish: La Marca Del Hombre-Lobo , or The Mark Of The Wolf-Man ) on Sunday night, but fearing that it was in Spanish with subtitles, I opted for Summer School , which I ...

NOVEMBER 30, 2009 GENRE: CANNIBAL SOURCE: DVD (STORE RENTAL) I have liked each Jack Ketchum film I’ve seen a bit more than the one before, so I was hoping Offspring would continue the trend. And since it involved cannibalistic children, I figured it was a shoein for one of my favorite movies of ...

NOVEMBER 28, 2009 GENRE: GHOST SOURCE: DVD (OWN COLLECTION) After trying and again failing to be scared by The Haunting , I thought I’d try an experiment of sorts: seeing if a film that DID scare me as a youth would have the same effect on me now (or at least, remind me exactly what scared me ...

NOVEMBER 25, 2009 GENRE: COMEDIC , MONSTER SOURCE: DVD (STORE RENTAL) We all have that friend who hates every movie he sees. Why we even speak to this person, I have no idea - mine even dislikes American Werewolf In London for Christ’s sake. But even he had praise for Infestation , and ...

NOVEMBER 29, 2009 GENRE: INDEPENDENT , PSYCHOLOGICAL SOURCE: NETFLIX (INSTANT VIEW) I've largely sworn off watching these no-budget indies that clog the horror section of Netflix's instant viewing selection (which itself is an act I only resort to when I have no physical rentals to watch - ...

NOVEMBER 27, 2009 GENRE: MAD SCIENTIST SOURCE: CABLE (ON DEMAND) You gotta love On Demand sometimes. While I hate that most of the free movie offerings are pan & scan, impossible to fast forward through (at least for me, only 2x speed is allowed and when you hit play it keeps going for ...

NOVEMBER 26, 2009 GENRE: HAMMER , VAMPIRE SOURCE: DVD (ONLINE RENTAL) Now THIS is a Dracula movie! After so many ho-hum films that I have trouble discerning from one another, Dracula A.D. 1972 finally puts its own stamp on the legacy, by transporting Dracula to the then-modern times of 1970s ...

A few weeks back, I was asked to be one of the judges for DVXuser’s Monsterfest short film competition. Time is short nowadays, however I was not only honored, but I also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to check out a bunch of short films (especially when I was asked by none other than Jack ...

NOVEMBER 24, 2009 GENRE: CLASSIC , HAUNTED HOUSE SOURCE: CABLE (TURNER CLASSIC) Routinely making appearances on any “all time scariest movies” list is Robert Wise’s The Haunting , which is what prompted me to watch it sometime I think in 1996 or 97 (before the 1999 remake at any rate). And I ...

NOVEMBER 23, 2009 GENRE: ASIAN , CANNIBAL SOURCE: DVD (OWN COLLECTION) While it’s not too uncommon to see short films expanded into features, it is pretty rare that I see the short film first. It’s also rare to see them back to back, as is the case with Dumplings (aka Gaau Ji ), which was one ...

NOVEMBER 22, 2009 GENRE: PSYCHOLOGICAL SOURCE: BLU-RAY (ONLINE RENTAL) Horror or not, I really should watch more of Roman Polanski’s films. I haven’t outright loved any of them, but they’re all interesting, and like Kubrick, he doesn’t seem to be interested in making the same type of movie over ...

NOVEMBER 22, 2009 GENRE: ANIMATED , ASIAN , VAMPIRE SOURCE: BLU-RAY (OWN COLLECTION) Had I known Blood: The Last Vampire was not a feature length anime , I wouldn’t have agreed to review it for Anchor Bay, because HMAD is all about the features baby! Also it meant having to review Ghost In The ...

NOVEMBER 21, 2009 GENRE: ANTHOLOGY , ASIAN SOURCE: DVD (OWN COLLECTION) I cannot recall when I purchased Three... Extremes (aka Sam Gang Yi ), but I would guess that it was the result of a “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” deal at Blockbuster in which I had two I really wanted and then spent a while looking ...

NOVEMBER 20, 2009 GENRE: TEEN , VAMPIRE , WEREWOLF SOURCE: THEATRICAL (REGULAR SCREENING) Has it really been a year since I saw Twilight and wondered what all the fuss was about (prompting me to get Twi -curious and read the book - which I finally finished last night)? Time sure flies when ...

NOVEMBER 19, 2009 GENRE: SLASHER SOURCE: DVD (OWN COLLECTION) I liked Basement Jack . It didn’t really do anything new, and like any movie, had some problems, but it just WORKED. It’s a straight up slasher movie, with all of the genre’s expected pitfalls (focusing on a character whose safety is ...

NOVEMBER 18, 2009 GENRE: SUPERNATURAL SOURCE: DVD (BUDGET PACK 3!!!) As I am sick of writing “I haven’t read the source material” when it comes to reviewing Lovecraft adaptations, I went and read both “Dreams In The Witch-House” and “The Music Of Erich Zann” after I watched The Shunned House ...
