Scary Movies: Cat’s Eye
We’re back with the annual horror movie festival at my house, and the theme this year is cats! We started off with Cat’s Eye, a 1985 horror anthology that I remember well because it was filmed on location in my hometown: Wilmington, NC. In… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: Cat’s Eye”
Scary Movies: Tremors
My son was really interested in watching this scary movie, billed on Starz as being an action-comedy-horror, so I agreed to watch it with him. I think it’s indicative of the quality of the movie that I realized about ten minutes into it that… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: Tremors”

Scary Movies: The Lost Boys
