The Conjuring (2013) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (AKA 3C)

Who knew that The Conjuring would start a movie “universe?” Well, it obviously took after this release in 2013 with director James Wan who is an iconic director with such films as Saw [2004], Dead Silence [2007], and Insidious [2010] with writer Chad Hayes (The Turning [2020]). Although, It starts with the cliché “based on…


Strait-Jacket (1964) – By Baron Craze

The ultimate Master of Gimmicks, Director Willam Castle (13 Ghosts [1960]) first paid homage to his idol Alfred Hitchcock with Homicidal [1961] with another marketing ploy that tested the audiences’ courage, however with the Strait Jacket his approach was to make a horror psychological film without his standard flair. While this film didn’t set the…


Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987) – By Baron Craze

The original Prom Night [1980] now has a curious following with two distinct camps those that following Oscar winning star Jamie Lee Curtis and the fanatics of the slasher subgenre that enjoy this slow-burn flick. However, none of that relates to a strange sequel that emerged seven years later sharing only the setting of Hamilton…


Christine (1983) – By Baron Craze

There’re two things to truly understand with this film, aside from a great story it falls squarely in the killer vehicle subgenre and at the time of the release many people especially viewers in United States had a love affair with cars. In fact, many men still give their cars a girl’s name and there’s…


Rosemary’s Baby (1968) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (AKA 3C)

I know it’s been a while since I’ve done a review, but my family had so much going on. I was asked by Baron to do a review on Rosemary’s Baby. I was surprised as it seemed like a religious horror movie (which it is to me) and I don’t delve deep into my reviews,…


Night of the Living Dead (1968) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

This is definitely a different type of movie that I would review. However, both Baron and the owner of the site asked me to help out and write the review so of course I accepted the challenge. I say “challenge” because it’s the first zombie film I’ve ever seen. The iconic George Romero, the godfather…


The Children (2008) – By Baron Craze

The title of only two words instills all the ominous intent and sheer fear that one needs with the child-like writing of the main word for this independent British horror film directed and written by Tom Shankland (The Killing Game [2007]) brews mischievous actions as it takes the trusted formula of ‘killer children movies’ and…


Night of the Demons (1988) – By Baron Craze

I’ve always believed that every horror fan has 13-films that they watch repeatedly throughout the year, and likely anyone who knows me that the number one film is Psycho [1960], and also includes The Exorcist [1973], Young Frankenstein [1974], and The Shining [1980] but shocked that it also has Night of the Demons [1988] there’s…


The Vampire Bat (1933) – By Baron Craze

It didn’t take long for other studios to capitalize on the success of Universal Pictures’ Dracula [1931] and the first was from Larry Darmour Production who also owned Majestic Pictures distribution company, which was known as a Poverty Row studio aka b-movie/ ow-budgeted films that existed from 1920s to 1950s. This particular 90-year-old film, is…


Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) – By Baron Craze

This movie is more of a detective’s tale than a horror film especially by today’s standards. It does layer in plenty of atmosphere and a storytelling that audiences of the 1930s would find appealing and a bit bizarre. Another important element that likely is lost upon the modern audiences is when the film was released,…
