#SummerOfSlash 2017: The Final Weekend

July 28, 2017

No, “The Final Weekend” is not the name of a slasher movie (that I’m aware of, but maybe it should be). It’s here, folks. We made it (almost). The last weekend of Summer of Slash 2017. I’m proud of you. Take a deep breath, chug the last of your whiskey, and get ready for one … More #SummerOfSlash 2017: The Final Weekend

#SummerOfSlash 2017: Silent Rage

July 27, 2017

Thanks to Rob G. of Shock Waves, this gem of a Chuck Norris film was brought to my attention. Silent Rage is about a genetically altered psychopath who, thanks to science, can’t be killed. Norris plays Dan Stevens, the sheriff of the town (with Stephen Furst as his deputy, Charlie). Together with Sheriff Dan’s lover, Alison … More #SummerOfSlash 2017: Silent Rage

#SummerOfSlash 2017: The Driller Killer

July 26, 2017

We’re dipping into the video nasties once again for an Abel Ferrara classic: The Driller Killer. This movie was first brought to my attention when we talked about the Arrow Video Blu-ray release (which you can buy below). It was the first time I’d ever heard of Abel Ferrara. And to be honest, we mocked it … More #SummerOfSlash 2017: The Driller Killer

#SummerOfSlash 2017: The Prowler

July 25, 2017

Again, we have a new discovery for me. I’m excited to watch this one tonight if not for the killer’s attire alone. I love a creepy-costumed killer (i.e. Harry Warden from My Bloody Valentine), and WWII fatigues will get the job done. Fun fact: The Prowler was shot on location in the oceanside town of Cape … More #SummerOfSlash 2017: The Prowler

#SummerOfSlash 2017: I Know What You Did Last Summer

July 24, 2017

Most of us know that this 90s teen scream is an adaptation from the 1973 Lois Duncan novel of the same name. But did you know there was an urban legend long before this lovely YA novel? It’s first known publication was in the advice column “Dear Abby:” Dear Abby: If you are interested in … More #SummerOfSlash 2017: I Know What You Did Last Summer

#SummerOfSlash 2017: Tourist Trap

July 23, 2017

Fair warning, if you have some sort of weird mannequin phobia then you probably haven’t watched one of my all time favorite movies, Mannequin. You probably haven’t watched today’s SoS installment either: Tourist Trap. Just to torture you more, here are a bunch of creepy mannequins I found on the internet.

#SummerOfSlash 2017: Evil Eye

July 22, 2017

aka The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Mario Bava’s Evil Eye is considered the first giallo film. It’s entertaining. And it stars two of the most beautiful people in the world:John Saxon and Leticia Roman. The whole time I was watching this I kept thinking: My God. If these two fornicated, they would have the … More #SummerOfSlash 2017: Evil Eye

#SummerOfSlash 2017: Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers

July 21, 2017

Let me be completely honest with you all: I’ve never seen this. But I will, on this, the final day of sequels week of SoS 2017. I do, though, know this song. Here are the lyrics if you care to sing along. Oh, I’m a Happy Camper, I love the summer sun, I love the … More #SummerOfSlash 2017: Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers

#SummerOfSlash 2017: Friday the 13th Part 2

July 20, 2017

Review are plenty nowadays on the countless sites (such as the one you’re currently reading) that do such a thing. Back in the day, though, you had to wait for the Sunday paper for critique of the latest film to grace your local cinema. Leonard Maltin, Gene Siskel, Joel Siegel, Andrew Sarris, etc. and, yes, … More #SummerOfSlash 2017: Friday the 13th Part 2

#SummerOfSlash 2017: Psycho II

July 19, 2017

Let me start by saying if you haven’t seen the sequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece, Psycho, please rectify that immediately. It barely missed being in my 10/35. Anthony Perkins delivers one of the most believable portraits of a psychopath I’ve ever seen. It’s fun. It’s sweaty. It belongs in sequels week of SoS 2017. The … More #SummerOfSlash 2017: Psycho II
