Child’s Play 2 and The ABC’s of Death Part 1 :: October Movie Scarefest

lyriquediscorde

Child’s Play 2 (1990) and The ABC’s of Death (2012)  It’s October and round these parts we are celebrating in a big, spooky way all month long. As part of that celebration, we have upped the ante to a horror double-feature each weekend, as well as featuring other “spooky” themed posts during the week. For our first October Movie Scarefest weekend we include the second of our newest “horror franchise”, where we see the return of the killer possessed doll, and his “best friend forever” Andy, as well as some familiar faces from Logan’s Run, Twin Peaks and Beverly Hills 90210. Our other film is … Continue reading Child’s Play 2 and The ABC’s of Death Part 1 :: October Movie Scarefest

John Carpenter’s The Ward and Child’s Play :: Saturday Horror Movie Double-Feature

lyriquediscorde

John Carpenter’s The Ward and Child’s Play :: Saturday Horror Movie Double-Feature Our latest installment of the Saturday Horror Movie Double Feature includes a new film from a classic horror movie director set in a psychiatric hospital in the sixties, as well as the start of another horror franchise, this time instead of killer flying balls we have a killer living dolls in this series. The Ward is a rather brilliantly told story that has a twist that on one hand could have been taken as contrived, but is actually well executed, enough so to make it a surprise ending, something … Continue reading John Carpenter’s The Ward and Child’s Play :: Saturday Horror Movie Double-Feature

The deafening silence of experiment experience and what looked a lot like an ending for Mike, Reggie and that persistent Tall Man :: Saturday Horror Movie Double-Featu

lyriquediscorde

The Quiet Ones and Phantasm IV: Oblivion :: Saturday Horror Movie Double-Feature As we near the end of August and head into the spookiest season of all (just wait until October, we may overdose you readers on horror double-features), we ended our Phantasm franchise-a-thon (well, until the fifth and final installment is released) and took a visit a cinematic trip back to the 1970’s via Hammer pictures to bear witness to a “based on a true story” college experiment gone wrong for this installment of our Saturday Horror Movie Double-Feature. The Phantasm series quasi-ended (they thought it was the end when the … Continue reading The deafening silence of experiment experience and what looked a lot like an ending for Mike, Reggie and that persistent Tall Man :: Saturday Horror Movie Double-Featu

Captain Tight Pants takes on the Invasion of the Gunn-worms and The Real Mike Returns to the hunt for the Tall Man :: Saturday Horror Movies

Captain Tight Pants takes on the Invasion of the Gunn-worms and The Real Mike Returns to the hunt for the Tall Man :: Saturday Horror Movies Its that time again, time to grab your favorite snack and your favorite hand to hold when you get frightened, as we share another Saturday Night Horror Double Feature. This time around we decided on an early film from Guardians of the Galaxy‘s James Gunn, a film my husband actually did background work in as one of the many bodies/hands within Michael Rooker’s wormified creature. The whole family had recently enjoyed the hell out … Continue reading Captain Tight Pants takes on the Invasion of the Gunn-worms and The Real Mike Returns to the hunt for the Tall Man :: Saturday Horror Movies

The man from Morningside takes it on the road and antique store artifacts that turn Jesus into a vampire :: Saturday Horror Movies

lyriquediscorde

Saturday Night Horror Movies :: Phantasm II (1988) and Cronos (1993) Back to the Horror Saturday Double Features, we gathered together to watch a sequel to one of the films we watched last time around, and an early film from a favorite filmmaker of mine that has some interesting ties to his new television series, The Strain. My husband is on a quest to take us through the Phantasm-franchise building up to the release of the fifth and final feature, so we started the night with number two of said movie-quest. I went with an early Guillermo Del Toro film … Continue reading The man from Morningside takes it on the road and antique store artifacts that turn Jesus into a vampire :: Saturday Horror Movies

A house full of childhood fears realized and a mysterious man from Morningside :: Saturday Horror Movies

lyriquediscorde

Saturday Night Horror Movies :: Poltergeist (1982) and Phantasm (1979) We took a bit of a Saturday Night Horror Double Feature break, but we came back just like the first inhabitants of Cuesta Verde, though we did leave the kitchen furniture alone. For our return engagement we decided to each pick a film from our childhood/adolescence, choosing a film that stuck with us and at one time terrified us to see if they still lived up to our memories. I chose a film that preyed on all those childhood fears we all keep with us, a film that was one of … Continue reading A house full of childhood fears realized and a mysterious man from Morningside :: Saturday Horror Movies

A day (or a few) in the haunting of the Lambert family vs. the never-ending :: Saturday Horror Movies

lyriquediscorde

Saturday Night Horror Movies :: Insidious Chapter 2 (2013) and The Monkey’s Paw (2013) Well, it’s been awhile readers, since we held a Saturday Night Horror Movie Double Feature evening, so to kick the year off with what we hope to have as a twice monthly night and next day review, we chose two rather recent movies: one a sequel from a favorite horror writer/director of mine, and the other,  a “made for cable” re-telling of the short story/parable touting the proverbial “be careful what you wish for” warning. Our first film choice was a rollicking, jump-scare filled fun follow-up (ending?) … Continue reading A day (or a few) in the haunting of the Lambert family vs. the never-ending :: Saturday Horror Movies

Groundhog Day for Ghost Girls vs. What Crawled Out of Your Butt to Kill :: Saturday Horror Movies

lyriquediscorde

Saturday Horror Movies :: Haunter (2013) and Bad Milo! (2013) The only real “theme” or “connection” between this week’s selections would be the year of release, both films released this year. Beyond that, though, these films could not be more different. Both films I knew very little about before viewing, and only ended up streaming their trailers right before we watched. The first film, a startling, sad story of a girl who seems stuck repeating the same day in the early eighties, the day before her sixteenth birthday. Abigail Breslin, who is best known as plucky Olive in Little Miss … Continue reading Groundhog Day for Ghost Girls vs. What Crawled Out of Your Butt to Kill :: Saturday Horror Movies

A Resurrected Killer Doll vs. A Reconstructed Slasher Killer :: Saturday Horror Movies

lyriquediscorde

Saturday Horror Movies :: Curse of Chucky (2013) and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) The original theme for this Saturday Double Feature was going to be new chapters to horror franchises, but one of the films we chose to watch had a audio glitch so we switched out one for a movie that is somewhat meta in its take on the slasher killer trope, where all famous cinematic killers are real, and a new one is attempting to be born. In some ways, I suppose it fits into our original theme, after all. Our first film … Continue reading A Resurrected Killer Doll vs. A Reconstructed Slasher Killer :: Saturday Horror Movies

A Bates Motel Movie Without a Motel versus A Retold For Profit Haunted Sleepover :: Saturday Horror Movies

lyriquediscorde

Saturday Horror Movies :: The Bates Haunting (2012) and House On Haunted Hill (1999) No theme to be seen for miles this week, and in some ways I suppose it showed. Neither film really blew me away, though there was definitely one that was all those miles better than the other. Our first film came from the Red Box machine at the local grocery store. I had a few credits to use and admittedly I was drawn to both the reference to Psycho/Bates Motel and the mention of it being a theme park based horror film, so into the Saturday … Continue reading A Bates Motel Movie Without a Motel versus A Retold For Profit Haunted Sleepover :: Saturday Horror Movies
