I wanted to start this off with a fun fact: I keep a monster locked in my basement. It mewls and growls, and I appease it by bringing it roadkill or whatever dead animals I can find. I don’t do this out of a desire to keep it prisoner, but rather to show I love […]

Horror Castle (1963)
Horror Castle AKA: Das Schloss Des Gralens AKA: La vergine di Norimberga AKA: The Virgin of Nuremberg I decided I wanted to watch something a little different, so I turned to TCM, because while the mention of that station may bring forth mental images of Casablanca, truth be told, they play all sorts of shit.

I didn’t go to my Senior Prom. School dances were never really my thing, despite having been to several, and I didn’t see much difference between a Homecoming versus a Prom.

Read moreKnock Off (1998) — Movie Reviews by a Mook
I love action movies with completely nonsensical, ridiculous plots that exist purely to put some completely miscast action star directly in the path of danger, possibly alongside an equally miscast comedian in a sidekick role. Lo and behold, here’s exactly what I want in a film: Knock Off. Jean-Claude Van Damme is a member of […] […]

If there is one thing horror movies have taught me (and there are many, many things horror movies have taught me), it’s to never be the last person inside anywhere. It’s not necessarily about being the first person out, but definitely do enough cardio and be willing to trip folks so you’re not the last. […]
