Have you ever noticed how when a blockbuster movie is released and raved, several B movies start popping up that mimic the blockbuster? The 70’s is a prime example of this. Especially since this was a time when B movies were still so popular and at the height of their popularity.
Throughout the 70’s record setting [...]
Have you ever noticed how horror movies have a certain “code of conduct” that is repeated in practically every movie you see? From as early as Psycho and before, to the movies of today, the vein of protocol has been constant. I feel pretty confident that somewhere in Hollywood is a secret director’s guide that [...]
A fellow fan of the horror film, Ryne over at The Moon is a Dead World, posted an article today that actually made me laugh out loud (well, the article he wrote didn’t make me laugh, the subject matter he wrote about made me laugh.) It’s his take on an upcoming new release entitled [...]
Some of my favorite B movies are those that involve critters, both small and large. My husband teases me regularly about my fetish for this type of film, which lately I only seem to find via NetFlix or the SCI-FI Channel. Most days the sci-fi channel is banned in my house but on days when [...]

Still love them with their antiquated graphics and their awful actors…… its just that now they are tied to a much higher price tag. $25 mil I think on this one.
….are my favorite kind (sadly Tremors is on my list of favs). My husband cringes whenever he sees me flip to Fearnet or the SciFi channel. My flavor for giant bug type movies make him wonder why he ever married me. I have tried to explain that the fact these movies exist and continue to [...]
