HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON 🤩

The premise of HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON is inherently silly – a 68-year-old “teenage” vampire is kicked out of her parent’s home because of unwillingness to prey on humans. The film plays out a bit like a dramatic version of WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS or a comedic version of TWILIGHT. HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON (Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant) takes place in French Canada and follows parallel stories of reluctant vampire Sasha (Sara Montpetit)…

THE FOG 😊

I love a lot of John Carpenter movies. HALLLOWEEN, ASSAULT ON PRECINT 13, THE THING, THEY LIVE. Before watching it to review it, I wasn’t sure I had ever seen THE FOG. Now that I have, it’s unfortunately not one of my faves.  I might draw some flack for this review. I know THE FOG has become a cult favorite among horror fans. I don’t think it deserves that status. It’s not engrossing enough or scary enough to reach the…

GET OUT 🤩

There are two things that horror movies tend to iconize. The obvious ones are horror characters. Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, and Leatherface are what I like to call the big four. Venerable horror figures with franchises that can last the test of time. Horror characters that multiple actors can play without anybody getting upset about it. I’m a man of a certain age, and the Halloween costumes of all four characters are just as relevant now as they were in…

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS 🤩

Every theatre arts teacher has one or two plays or musicals they always wanted to produce and direct on stage. LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS was one of mine. There never seemed to be the right time, and timing is everything when creating an okay season for my community. It is a regret. Ever since I first heard the opening number of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, I was smitten with plant fever and a huge crush on Seymour, played by Rick…

DEATH BECOMES HER 😊

DEATH BECOMES HER is my kind of horror flick -not super scary, but bizarre, hair-raising, and borderline chilling. Spooky movies need an absurd plot, music that pumps your heart along with a lightning storm in the middle of the night, a kick-ass cast, and humorous moments. Robert Zemeckis created a most intriguing comedy, fantasy, and horror film in 1992, which won an Oscar for Special and Visual Effects.  Looking younger than your actual age is still a thing in Hollywood. The…

FROM… SO FAR 😊

If FROM were any other network than the little-used streaming service MGM+, this would be a bonafide hit. As is, it’s a little-seen horror series that deserves audiences’ attention this Halloween. I loved the journey of the TV show LOST but hated the destination. I was skeptical when I heard that LOST producers Jack Bender and Jeff Pinkner were reuniting for a horror thriller with former castaway Michael (Harold Perrineau). Yet, I’ve binged and am up to date on the…

CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954) 🤩

When I was a little girl, I distinctly remember watching CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON in 3D on WPIX, a then-independent station out of New York City. I didn’t recall the year or much about the movie except that we had to go to Burger King to pick up the red & blue 3D glasses and that after I saw the film, I was terrified to bathe for a couple of days. Recently I saw that in honor of the…
