The Valley of Gwangi (1969) Movie Review [Lazarus’ Lair]
Baby boomers and Gen Xers are all familiar with the sensational films of stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen. In those pre-CGI days, animating moving creatures was done the hard way, capturing one frame at a time and minutely moving armatured miniatures for the next split second frame. It was a painstaking process that could take months of work to create a few seconds of film. While the techniques were developed by his mentor Willis O’Brien who created the original King Kong, Harryhausen would further develop and elevate those techniques to mesmerize audiences decades later.

Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (1971) Movie Review [Jiggy’s Horror Corner]
Though I’ve seen this cult classic before, it’s been quite some time, and truth be told, I didn’t recollect too much of it before going in. Let’s Scare Jessica to Death isn’t an easy movie to describe, and I’m not even sure if it’s fair to say I enjoy it, but I do think it’s a special little movie that may well be worth seeing.

An Experiment in Tribal Filmmaking [Modern Horrors]
You open your mailbox and begin rifling through your daily mail; bills, bank statements, credit card companies, but stuck in between the crap you find a postcard. It’s from a friend, one of the wild ones. You haven’t heard from him since he made off with his Burning Man crew and decided to actually “live the dream”, off the grid, unplugged.

Ranking the Halloween Franchise Opening Credits [Nightmare Nostalgia]
One of the greatest memories of my childhood was the multitude of horror movies that were introduced to me through my Dad and Grandfather (Pop-we called him). Pop was a passionate fan of ALL Universal Horror Monsters films, and on top of watching them endlessly by his side on the nights the grandparents would babysit, I would often admire his complete Universal Monsters VHS Collection and the artwork embodied within it. However, my Dad, albeit a super Frankenstein himself, was more on the Slasher spectrum. And, by the way, is the biggest John Carpenter’s Halloween fan I know. It sounds biased, but being inside the horror community for fifteen years, I stand by that statement- and you could read more about that here.

The Most Unique Phantasm Tattoos Of All Time [Phantasm]
For many, tattoos are a deeply personal form of self-expression, a means to immortalize something meaningful on their skin. Whether it's a symbol of personal growth, a tribute to a loved one, or simply an appreciation for art, every tattoo tells a story. Among the vast expanse of tattoo themes, one finds a niche yet passionate group: those who get inked with designs inspired by cult cinema.
