The Ghost Breakers (1940) – By Baron Craze

*NOTE:  Cinematic lovers and fans of The Horror Times, this review deals a few disgusting habits of the late 30s and early 40s mainly regarding race; however, the film is a horror-comedy spoof, that in life avoidance is never good sometimes you need to face disrespectful attitudes head on and note the era in which…


Abigail (2024) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

I thought I’d review this film before the new Scream movie comes out next month and the Ready or Not sequel due in March since the directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett made Scream [2022], Scream VI [2023], and Ready or Not [2019]. Of course, Abigail’s story doesn’t have anything to do with Scream, however…


Husk (2011) – By Baron Craze

Whenever one drives past the vast landscape of hundreds of rows of towering cornfields regardless if it’s fresh green or wilted brown stalks the same thoughts often occur what a place for a horror scene. Director Brett Simmons (Animal [2014]) thought the same thing, first with his short film Husk (2005) and later the full…


The Task (2011) – By Baron Craze

The short-lived television series MTV Fear [2000-2002] which would have about five contestants set at an allegedly haunted location with the participants complete dares. Hence fast forward to 2011, and this British flick (primarily filmed in Bulgaria) directed by Alex Orwell, written by Kenny Yakkel (Dead Air [2009]), which was produced by Christopher Milburn (An American…


Chosen Survivors (1974) – By Baron Craze

The 1970s was an incredible decade for the genres of horror and sci-fi with thrillers being incorporated into both and plenty of crossovers, there were so many avenues to explore, as society was changing as did the norms in the movies. One of the key elements was apocalyptic concerns that extended to doomsday scenarios and…


Once Bitten (1985) – By Baron Craze

Many cinema fans look to the IMDb website to discover who directed or wrote a script for a film, however often the real backstory is often an uncharted path for a flick to be conquered. Therefore, let’s sink some fangs into this unbelievable mess, first the original story was entitled ‘Nightlife,’ which led to writing…


Bats [1999] – By Baron Craze

When it comes to the subgenre of animal attack films there are plenty to examine and a few which are highly enjoyable, some of them have the ferocious beasts and others are so tiny they own the creepy ‘it’ factor to give one the heebie-jeebies. Every decade since the 60s has at least one and…


The Invitation (2022) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

I was asked to review two vampire movies for the month of October to celebrate Halloween, I’ve chosen this film as one of them. I first saw The Invitation with my husband when it came to theaters in August 2022 and now again on HBOMax. This film was directed by Jessica M. Thompson and screenplay…


Vampire Killers (2009) – By Baron Craze

Most screenwriters develop a story first and build from that starting with the title is a working one not the first, they don’t often attempt to make it define the plot. However, writers Stewart Williams and Paul Hupfield did that and the absurd commercial title that could have been so much more with a callback to the…


Cut (2000) – By Staff of The Horror Times

***Note to readers: When Baron had encountered medical issues, I the owner of this site thought why not have Baron dictate a review into a voice recorder and we’d type it up – easy. BIG MISTAKE! We will never ever do that again; cause Baron gave us all a huge headache and a constant nightmare….
