Halloween Horrorama III: Season of the Witch (2006)

This year, when asked “trick or treat,” just look down at your bracelet that reads “WWAAD?”

Indeed, what would Admiral Ackbar do…?
“IT’S A TRICK!”

Brain Dead (1990)

Wow, this movie is a TRIP and a freaking HALF. I’m taking it again!

About a week or so ago, I sat down to watch anything on AMC that sounded remotely horror-y to review. Brains dying sounded awfully scary, so I went with that. Oh boy. Oh boy oh boy. Well….it’s not horrifying, not technically, but I can guarantee you that it embarks you on a journey through insanity and circumlocution itself. Surprisingly, Blind Guardian’s not on the soundtrack.

The quirkiest, yet most lifeless movie you’re likely to find about people living under stairs. Ever!

A South American vampire tale that doesn’t involve a Chupacabra? Can it possibly be any good? Surprisingly, yes. Goths, don your capes.

She's not a vampire, just an emo. A true story!

Apparently based on a true story I picked this up at the video store based on the idea of maybe finally seeing a new cool vampire flick….

"I'm half the man I used to be/ half the man I used to be....." Okay, lame joke, but you try staying witty after seeing this movie!

The Ghouls (2003)

Is your world ready….to EXPLODE? This unbelievably great movie will shock and awe you…into TOTAL orgasm!

That’s as accurate a description of the review as the DVD case for this movie gives me. (Hint: it’s also a baldfaced lie)

I’m only one third through, but considering it’s that time of year this game needed to finally be reviewed. Made by Headfirst Productions it has a sortid development history, after 6 years of work it was almost canned until being picked up by Bethesda Softworks. I was surprised when it was released (the release came out of nowhere) and nabbed it as soon as I could. Unfortunately I didn’t have much time when I got it to play, but now that my plate is empty I’ve picked it up again and begun to dig in, and I’m glad I did…

Pagan burning people festivals, featuring Christopher Lee? I’m in!

Haunted Prison: A SciFi Original (2006)

A SciFi Original!  Did you notice that?  Because SciFi wanted you to!  I don’t know why that is.

To get a more accurate idea of this movie, ignore the halfway cool cybervampire on the box, throw in some Coolio for laughs, and–most importantly–make sure there’s a hallway the cast can run up and down something like a hundred times. Nothing says terror like hallways!

Let me get this straight: it’s a black and white movie, it’s in the made-up language of Esperanto, and it stars William Shatner? And it’s . . . good?
