The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966) – By Baron Craze

A film like this might seem very strange to be reviewed on a horror website, however there’s an important trope that is used countless times in our beloved genre; that the Old Dark House, a fearful place embodied with checkered past, almost everyone’s hometown has a house with this reputation. Therefore, this film is a…


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…


Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) – By Baron Craze

Every Friday the 13th fan and Jason Voorhees fanatic knows of this film’s reputation, and the film itself, with countless reviews, therefore I am not going to dwell too long on the story as there’s some other points much more interesting to discover. There’s a bit of a backstory needed to understand how we got…


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,…

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) – By Baron Craze

Horror and Comedy have an unique marriage in the horror genre and has a laugh is the direct opposite of a scream, but for many viewers when we watch a film we know the direct intention of the filmmakers to make us have fears or to generate sheer amusement, the well the latter exists in…
