Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) – By Baron Craze

May 31, 2021
Articles

An important item to understand about this movie is the filmmakers didn’t concern themselves with continuity too much, they wanted the plot and storyline quickly done and a simple scenario, a group of folks in middle of nowhere are stalked, slashed, stabbed, and slaughtered. They weren’t attempting to make a lot of scenes, rather speed…

Long before the comics, television shows, games, merchandise of The Walking Dead series, existed another film of the same name, and likely either forgotten or thoroughly unknown except by Boris Karloff’s aficionados and fans in general it dates all the way back to the early days of horror in the mid-1930s.

Werewolf movies are an interesting subgenre in the horror realm, most fans can point to the first creation The Wolf Man [1941], but if one accelerates through the decades and makes a hard stop in the 80s, easily everyone decided it was time to howl at the moon. In 1981, the cycle of the werewolf…

Within the horror genre, there are plenty of unique films for multiple reasons, a classic design, cool characters, phenomenal locations, exquisite storyline, and then there’s those movies with those special twist endings commonly found in Scream [1996] and thereafter such as the recent No Escape [2020].

I thoroughly enjoy anniversary article-reviews, allowing the time to dive deeper into a certain film, and this was one I had circled a long time ago; it serves as an interesting time in cinema, so much occurring in life at that time.

  The vampire subgenre of horror is vastly complex, there’s the ultra-classic Universal style of Dracula [1931] to that of Dracula: Prince of Darkness [1966] the Hammer Studios creation, then the lead bloodsucker still wore his tuxedo in the late seventies and eighties, but the entire species started changing encouraging new bloodlines of vampiric lore….

I suppose it is no surprise that I include Alfred Hitchcock as a Horror Icon and will try and limit myself in writing volumes on his masterful artistic career. The first thing most will retort with is – wait, he didn’t do a lot of horror movies, and you are semi-right, it’s in fine details…

Horror anthologies always have a special place in the genre, and especially with the fans, sometimes they share a theme or otherwise a series of short stories anchored with main tale flowing through it.

Re-Animator (1985) – By Baron Craze

Articles

I love when a horror movie pushes the so-called acceptable limits, and rather rips up the envelope of decent standards, horror is a harsh word, it doesn’t do well with niceties, rather horror fans and viewers shall encourage and applaud those who are faithful by delivering the goods, just like with The Evil Dead [1981]…
