Ghosthouse (1988) – By Baron Craze

There’s an interesting backstory to this movie, as it marketed itself and used a deceitful ploy to the audiences, per a friend, Achille Manzotti of the uncredited producer Joe d’Amato, to change the movie La Casa 3 instead of Ghosthouse; the reasoning was that La Casa 1 and 2 were the titles to Evil Dead…

The Burning (1981) – By Baron Craze

Any true horror fan especially those that enjoy the beloved slasher subgenre, can name quite a few films that fall into this grouping, however one of the notorious few that didn’t become a franchise or even box office one-time hit is Tony Maylam’s The Burning, that’s even before its production garnished much attention in the…


The Boonies (2021) – By Baron Craze

Often filmmakers will pay homage to the films that inspirated them to venture into filmmaking, or to give a nod to another artist, but it’s truly a fine and delicate line between the realms between this and blatantly ripping films in general, and sadly this falls flatly into the latter grouping.

In 1981, before the filming actually started, over 10-movies on…

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

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…

Michael Okum delivers in all areas, with his horror movie, Expressway to Your Skull, and truly grips hold of the viewer and pulls them into the storyline, with a slow and patient build-up to achieve a full-length thrill ride, which excels the audience in to purchasing the movie to see all of the uniqueness in…
