The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Co-screenwriters Edward Lowe (House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, several installments in the Charlie Chan series), Perley Sheehan, and Lon Chaney himself (who suggested the story and primary cast), took Victor Hugo’s famed romance and cast it as a horror tale....
The Howling Reborn
In 1981 director Joe Dante two years after directing the cult hit Piranha would go on to direct one of the most successful werewolf films that would also spawn another cult hit. The Howling, is one of those werewolf films that took a back seat to the likes of An...
How to Make a Monster
Herbert Strock’s How to make a Monster is one of the gems of 1950’s B-horror in that it readily stands beside Roger Corman’s better works during the period. Not only does he present an intriguing plot involving movie making, decades before postmodern reflectivity...
House on Haunted Hill
Director William Castle and writer Robb White were known primarily for one thing, which is creating gimmicks for many of their otherwise B-productions in order to build the reputation of their films and generate an audience. House on Haunted Hill was no exception,...
House of Wax
Ok so summer is coming and the first horror film to hit the theaters this May is Dark Castle's "House of Wax", yes it's another remake of the 1953 version of "House of Wax" starring Vincent Price, however the story is different than the original, and in a ode to the...
House of Wax
Like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, Jaume Collet-Serra’s House of Wax shares the name of André De Toth’s 1953 film though it houses few plot similarities, while the latter is a literal remake of a 1933 film by Michael Curtiz, Mystery of the Wax Museum, despite the...
The House of Usher
The House of Usher is among the many remakes of the 1960's Roger Corman film of the same name. The original was written by Richard Matheson and stared Vincent Price as Roderick Usher. This film does not have the name talent or star power that the original did, but...
House of Usher
House of Usher was a series of firsts: It marks the first time that B-movie director Roger Corman was issued a serious budget for a film. It is the first movie shot in color for American International Pictures. Lastly, it is the first production in the AIP Corman/Poe...
House of the Devil
Under the reliable production hand of Larry Fessenden, Ti West made an impressive horror debut with 2005’s atmospheric zombie-bat retro chiller THE ROOST. Fessenden lurks behind the scenes of his latest movie (as do returning composer Jeff Grace and actor Tom Noonan),...
House of the Devil
2009 has not been the best year when it comes to horror films. So far, it appears that I will not even have a top ten list this year, so I was looking forward to seeing The House of the Devil. To a person, friends and colleagues who had seen it before I did gave it...
House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim
I have only two good things to say about this film, first and foremost Sid Haig is in it, but his part is not that big at all. Second, it's probably a little bit better than Uwe Boll's first film. Other than that I really don't know what to say. I think the main...
House of the Dead
Well first off "House of the Dead" was better than I expected it to be, but I have more negative things to say about it than good things unfortunately. First off what I did like about the film was the setting and the story, the zombie action and shoot up gore fest....
House of the Dead
Welcome Brethren. Please stand for our opening prayer. God--a.k.a. Edward D. Wood, Junior--for the joy of this occasion, we thank Thee. For the significance of this atrocious movie, we thank Thee. For this important moment in ever-putrid cinema, we thank Thee. For...
House of 9
So, I popped this DVD into the DVD and began to watch it. Within the first few minutes I figured out that "House of 9" is kind of like "Battle Royale" "Saw" and "Cube" in one. The film is about a group of random people, most of them are somewhat famous for something,...
House of Frankenstein
House of Frankenstein promises an aggregation of cinema’s worst villains running around the screen like drunken midgets on acid. However, what director Erle Kenton delivers is a film which counterbalances itself: For every unforgivable, no-brainer misstep, he posits a...
