In 1989 the horror world was introduced to the grim and ultra-dark film, Pet Sematary. Based upon a book of the same name by author Stephen King, director Mary Lambert crafted a terrifying new feature film that had audiences thinking twice about the mortality of not only their pets but themselves as well. King’s original novel was so scary that he himself actually refused to have it published for the longest time on the belief that audiences just might not be able to handle the dark subject matter. A surefire cult classic and midnight movie special in it’s own right… Read more »

In 1977, Italian director, horror film master, and all around mad-cinema genius Dario Argento terrified international audiences with his hauntingly brutal film, Suspiria. The film was dark, oddly psychedelic, and purportedly based on some rather loose but nonetheless true events that a relative of Argento’s mysteriously experienced in Europe. Told through the eye of an American dance student, the chilling film introduced audiences to the Italian brand of horror known as Giallo. Suspiria: Dario Argento’s 1977 Horror Masterpiece Rough in its definition, Giallo is an Italian sub-genre that incorporates horror, detective fiction, gore, supernatural elements, and psychological exploitation so as… Read more »

For such an overnight success, the spotlight was beginning to shine on King, who previously worked as an English teacher at a Maine high school and sometimes moonlighted at a local laundry.  Little did he know, a short-lived move to Boulder, Colorado would bring a new setting for many of his stories to come.

Nicolas Cage and Selma Blair are anything but good ol’ “Mom And Dad” in this blood-splattered flick.

Mom and Dad Movie Plot Cage and Blaire play the overworked and communication-starved Brent and Kendall Ryan, who are reluctant parents to… Read more »
