Scary Movies: Alien
It’s that time of year when things turn scary, and we have a real classic this time! Last Saturday, my son and I watched Alien together. I know it was scary because when a scene is too tense, he likes to go hide on… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: Alien”
Scary Movies: Lady Frankenstein
I’ll have a lot more scary movie reviews in October, but I couldn’t wait that long to test out a movie from a new DVD I received for my birthday with a dozen or so public domain horror films on it. I started with… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: Lady Frankenstein”

Scary Movies: Dawn of the Dead
The sequel to Night of the Living Dead and no, I didn’t show this one to my son. Maybe when he’s older. Like 22. I have seen it as recently as last Halloween. One of the best horror movies ever made, and possibly my… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: Dawn of the Dead”
Scary Movies: Man-Thing
MAN-THING (2005)Here’s a movie that counts as both a horror film and a comic book movie. I’ll do it as a comic movie in a later post. I’m a big fan of the Man-Thing, especially his first comic series from the mid-1970s. It’s set… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: Man-Thing”
