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…

Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965) – By Baron Craze
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. These were popular in the early-60s to mid-70s until 2010 and onward where it became more standardized for filmmakers joining together…
Alligator (1980) – By Baron Craze
The horror film genre prides itself with taking folklore and urban legends and morphing them into scary movies or just solid tales to entertain audiences, well screenwriter John Sayles (Piranha [1978]) did that with Frank Ray Perilli’s (Laserblast [1978]) story. Its concerns the story of how pet gators are flushed down a toilet and…

Jaws (1975) – By Baron Craze
Unbelievable to many this is not a horror movie, rather adventure thriller, the primary reason very obviously, if one called it a horror film then likely would have been glanced over by critics, and not receive any awards, that’s how harsh the word ‘horror’ is to many. Therefore, knowing and learning the lessons of…
13 Ghosts (1960) – By Baron Craze
William Castle, the name alone is recognized by horror fans and filmmakers, he was the ultimate in theater gimmicks and marketing guru, in fact if alive today the social media platforms likely couldn’t handle his craftiness; there’s even movies that pay homage to his wackiness such as Popcorn (1991) and Matinee (1993). However, by 1960,…
Lifeforce (1985) – By Baron Craze
Before one can begin to discuss Lifeforce, there’s clear understanding this is a horror and sci-fi b-movie, that starts fine and quickly builds in a strange direction and likely has one asking themselves and anyone in the room what on earth is going on quite quickly. Well ignore all the questions save them for a…
