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

Pub Crawling Aliens vs. Zombie Apocalypse War :: Saturday Horror Movies

lyriquediscorde

Saturday Horror Movies :: The World’s End and World War Z This week’s theme, of sorts, was current invasion movies. One, the end of a trilogy, a lighter side of alien invasion brought to us by Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The final chapter of the “Cornetto trilogy” was full of all the things that made the first two films so enjoyable, and memorable – small town characters, local pub life, laughs, scares and one hell of a soundtrack. On a more serious side, and at the start of a rumored trilogy, was yet another story of zombie invasion. This is … Continue reading Pub Crawling Aliens vs. Zombie Apocalypse War :: Saturday Horror Movies

Short Order Detective for the Dead in Love vs. Stranded in Space With Bad Science :: Saturday Horror Movies

lyriquediscorde

Saturday Horror Movies :: Odd Thomas and Stranded This week’s movie choices both were from this year’s array of horror releases, though one is still in the “yet to be released” limbo, at least here in the United States. Odd Thomas has been stuck in legal purgatory to the point that most report that it will never see the light of day. It has been released Internationally, though, and I am ever up for a challenge to find movies to watch and review – happy to say it was worth the effort. The other title, perhaps should have found its way to being … Continue reading Short Order Detective for the Dead in Love vs. Stranded in Space With Bad Science :: Saturday Horror Movies

There’s something in the water vs. there’s something in those dead doll eyes :: Saturday horror movies

lyriquediscorde

Saturday Horror Movies :: Ghost Shark and Dead Silence This week’s selection sampled from the SyFy Networks plethora of bad creature features and from my current horror obsession, James Wan films. The girls joined in again in the watching, interjecting their sarcastic commentaries and collective reactions along the way. I am contemplating a separate piece on James Wan films at a later date, but I still need to re-watch one more before I do, or possibly all of them, as I try to take in the similarities, differences, and the homages within each of other gems from the horror genre. … Continue reading There’s something in the water vs. there’s something in those dead doll eyes :: Saturday horror movies
