    Slaughter High (1985)

    It’s April Fool’s day at Slaughter High (1986) and Carol (the 35-year-old, but still lovely, student, Caroline Munro) leads poor Marty (Simon Scuddamore) into the locker room for a cruel prank that turns bad. Later that day in the science lab, Chekov’s beaker full of nitric acid wobbles on a shelf and Marty uses a…

    I went to Collinwood to see Dr. Hoffman today, but after Elizabeth let me in, it was Maggie who greeted me. Boy, did she let me have a piece of her mind! When I told her I was leaving town, she said she didn’t understand me. I told her that very few people do. She…

  • The Classic Horrors Club Podcast EP 109: The Brain Eaters

    Sounds like a zombie movie, huh? Or a alien/mutant brain movie. Well, it surprised at least one of us who learned it’s more of a body snatcher movie. But why nitpick? Perhaps it’s because we can’t think what to write about it and should let our mouths do the talking. Join us for… The Brain…

    As I promised Dr. Hoffman, I went to Windcliff first thing this morning. There was a brilliant morning sun in the sky, and all was serene; however, while waiting for Nurse Prichett to bring Amy, I heard the weather report: clear, cold… and full moon. Please, not again. My thoughts were interrupted as I saw…

    Night School (1981)

    Only vaguely aware of Night School (1981), I don’t remember ever watching it during the Slasher Age or video store days. However, if you’d asked me, I could have told you it was Rachel Ward’s first movie. Her star shined brightly for almost a decade, then, although she kept working since then, I don’t notice…

    Earlier this evening, I arrived in Collinsport but wasn’t prepared for the greeting I received from Joe. “No… no… you’re dead. Stay away from me. You’re dead! I saw you!” He had obviously mistaken me for Tom. I told him I wasn’t Tom, but Chris. I asked him if he realized the mistake he’d made…

    Prom Night (1980)

    We’ve made horror film smoothies before; let’s do it again… Throw Halloween (1978) into a blender with Carrie (1976.) Sprinkle a little Saturday Night Fever (1977) on top and press “Chop” for one minute. Wait! I said, “Chop,” not “Puree.” Now we have pure liquid with no real substance. Such is Prom Night (1980), the…

    It was at dusk, during an unseasonable storm, when Nicholas Blair removed the stake from my chest. He commanded, “You will rise, Tom Jennings, you will rise!” I lunged toward him, but he stopped me. “I am your master. I have saved you. You will do what I say.” He also threatened that if he…

  • Massacre at Central High (1976)

    Drama? Thriller? Horror? Let’s try fantasy… This movie takes place in the land of adult actors playing high school students while at the same time the story is totally absent of any adult characters. There are no teachers at the high school and there are no adults in town. That is, until the very end…

    On my way to the Old House, I found a disoriented Elizabeth Collins Stoddard wandering through the graveyard. When she saw me, she asked if I was the caretaker. I said nothing and she asked why I wouldn’t answer her… why wouldn’t I say anything. I raised my arms and bared my fangs as she…
