  This upcoming Wednesday is Halloween. Sounds like a good time to make up my mind about what movies I'l be watching...

Blood On TV: Death Valley

Blood On TV: Death Valley

by Eli Henry

  Death Valley is a mockumentary TV show on MTV about a special department (the Undead Task Force, or UTF) of the Los Angeles Police Department that dispatches the werewolves, vampires, and zombies that mysteriously descended upon Calfornia a year before the show's opening, and are now living in the San Fernando Valley. The show is structured like some kind of COPS from Hell. 

Review: The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Review: Rocky Horror Picture Show

by Eli Henry

  Dammit, Janet! This is going to be a fun review. 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' is the best Frankenstein parody/homage (sorry, 'Young Frankenstein'), and by far the best musical ever created, and I've had the fortune of parents who own the film, and also enjoy it. This is stuff fresh off my mind, I watched RHPS just two nights ago for the second time. Here goes.

O v. R: Halloween

Original v. Remake: HALLOWEEN

by Eli Henry

  1978 saw the release of what would become one of the most influential horror films ever made: John Carpenter's 'Halloween'.  2007 saw the release of what would become one of the worst horror film remakes ever made: Rob Zombie's 'Halloween'. Oh, boy.

O v. R: The Hills Have Eyes

Original v. Remake: The Hills Have Eyes

by Eli Henry

  'The Hills Have Eyes' opens on a family on their way to California, who decide to take a detour through New Mexico, and come face-to-face with cannibalistic monsters.

Pre-Release Hype: Sinister

Pre-Release Hype: Sinister

by Eli Henry

 'Sinister' comes from the writer-director of 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose', Scott Derrickson, and follows a mystery writer (Ethan Hawke) and his family, who move into a new house where the horrific murder of an entire family occurred. 

Review: Fright Night (1985)

Review: Fright Night (1985)

by Eli Henry

  Tom Holland's 80's vampire masterpiece is my second favorite vampire movie (only second to 1987's 'Near Dark'... which I'll hopefully review in the future). Keep that in mind.

  So: Charlie Brewster's new neighbor is a bit strange... he only comes out at night, and the town's citizens have been disappearing. Soon, Charlie's convinced that his new neighbor is a murderous vampire.
