This movie is a lot of fun really. I kind of feel like it’s a great example of the modern slasher. That whole genre of films kind of goes in waves and I have to say that in several of the instances that I’ve seen over the last few years, this most recent iteration of that brand of horror is just a really good time. I wouldn’t go so far …

The reality that it’s been a quarter of a century since I saw “Scary Movie” is a little much to digest. I was in between my junior and senior year of high school when this one hit theaters and I’m almost certain I saw it a couple of times during it’s initial run. Some of the love for that movie I think was due to it’s general popularity at the …
It’s official. The Cinemasters have returned just in time for Halloween with the Spooktacular! It’s been a minute but The Rental King and that man from the north are back in our ears with more scary movie reviews. First up on the list is an indie film from 2011 and newcomer at the time, director Ti West, called “The Innkeepers”. Our Cinemasters are going to break this one down and …
Before the 90’s nostalgia police come and get me, I do have to admit that I never sat down and watched this TBS classic from 1993. I think I always intended to when I was a kid. I was the target demographic being 10 when it came out. And having ready access to the Turner Broadcast Service, I don’t really know why I never got around to it. Not just …
I know there’s only a few days left until the end of the month but I’m going to promise this is the last werewolf movie I’m going to watch. I realized that in all my lycanthropy I’ve poured into this spooky season, I’ve never watched this 1981 “classic”. I don’t necessarily say that ironically, but I’m also not entirely sure how iconic this movie is in reality. I’d have to …
It’s Sunday and the Chicago Bears played the Baltimore Ravens today. I know this because I checked on Paramount+ to see what the 1 PM game was in my market. I am a Bears fan, unfortunately. So I was eager to check this out. I don’t have any of the streaming services that mimic cable TV but there are some fringe elements like this feature on Paramount+ that I do …
I’m starting to think that maybe I don’t even need to really stack up a list of movies at the start of each Halloween season anymore. Not that I haven’t used it at all or that it’s not been helpful because it has. At the start of this I did rely relatively heavily on it just to have a heads up so I don’t have to spend a tremendous amount …
So when I found The Wolf of Snow Hollow, that might not have been the only wolf movie I found. These things are like wolf t-shirts. Once you find a good place for one, there’s like 4 others you have to check out. Not that I was unaware of this movie. I knew it was out there. I didn’t know where it was streaming but I have the tools that …
So as I said when I first started this whole thing about 3 weeks ago, I’m always down for a werewolf movie. I wouldn’t say I’ve seen them all. Not that the population is overwhelming or anything. But I just know I’ve not seen them all. In doing a bit of searching since my original list was composed a few months ago, I happened to find a couple of new …
Before you go getting all excited for Silver Shamrocks Halloween masks, that’s not the season of the witch that I’m talking about. This is from 2011 and it’s an action horror movie with the one and only Nicolas Cage. Last year I watched Cage in Arcadian and here he is again. Heck, I’m pretty sure we did Willy’s Wonderland in the last couple of years on the podcast. So Nicolas …
