Death Spa (1989) – Supernatural Horror Film – Amazon Prime Streaming Rental/Purchase
By Melissa Antoinette Garza For years, I skipped this 80s cult hit because I thought it was another name for Killer Workout / Aerobicide. It wasn’t until I heard that Hilarious actor/comic Paul Scheer was going to be skewering it for his podcast, How Did This Get Made, that I realized […]
Paganini Horror (1989) – Italian Hard to Find Horror
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I had never heard of this film, but my brother Geno saw a trailer and secured a copy. It’s an Italian horror which is very similar in certain ways to a Dario Argento film. The colors, setting and atmosphere all made me think of both Suspiria […]
Pledge Night (AKA DEATH NIGHT -1990) – Demonic Slasher Film

Carrie – New Trailer and New News – “You Will Know Her Name”
By Melissa Garza I wonder how many other women over the age of 30 still enjoy watching a good teenage horror flick. Admittedly, I’m a fan of everything from Sleepaway Camp (1983) to Nightmare on Elm Street (1984); from The House on Sorority Row (1983) to Killer Party (1986). Even […]
Killer Party (1986) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee “You raised a demon.” – Phoebe (Elaine Wilkes) The 1980’s came out with a lot of slasher films…they were the thing, and it was a god damn good thing. It is much better than this torture shit that we see nowadays. I would much rather see a […]
London After Midnight (1927) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Lon Chaney is one of the greatest actors of all time and LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT (1927) could be the best silent movie ever produced. Sadly, in 1967, there was a fire within the vault which held this and many other films. The last known copy of this […]
