The Horror Time Capsule - 2000: Scream 3

WEAK Scream 3 - Weak Like any good trilogy, there is always one of the films that fails; most of the time at least. "The Godfather Trilogy" had Part 3, "Back to the Future" had Part 3, so I guess it goes to show you that most Part 3's are pretty bad or just...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1999: House on Haunted Hill

MISUNDERSTOOD House on Haunted Hill - Misunderstood I'm not sure why there are certain films that take hold of me, especially universally panned films, that have such a lasting impression on me. I guess I'm the inverted horror movie hipster. While people will...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1998: Dee Snider's Strangeland

PROTO Dee Snider's Strangeland - Proto The mid to late 90's brought us a lot of trends; goth wear, Jnco jeans, rave gear, industrial music, so many trends to name, but there was also the rise of the tattoo and piercing sub-culture. It really wasn't until the...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1997: Mimic

GOOEY Mimic - Gooey I loved 1997, I was a weird, awkward middle-schooler obsessed with movies, horror, and for some weird reason, Mira Sorvino. I don't know what it was about her, but I'm sure we all remember our movies crushes, and this was probably one of...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1995: Tales from the Hood

UNSUNG Tales from the Hood - Unsung You might be thinking two things right now; One, what took so long for another reviews, and two, what happened to an entry for 1994. Well, to be honest with you, 1994 was a super shitty year for horror, it was downright...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1991: The Pit and the Pendulum

PREACHY The Pit and the Pendulum -Preachy There is no doubt that outside of Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe has been one of the most influential authors for filmmakers to rely upon. Okay, I'll include H.P. Lovecraft in that conversation as well. And, you know...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1992: Candyman

ICONIC Candyman - Iconic One thing that has always been a constant is the need for horror icons, especially in the slasher genre. Mainly, it all equals money for studios. Between "Friday the 13th" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street" the 80s were the times of franchising...

Simplistic TV: American Horror Story: Hotel

HOMAGE American Horror Story: Hotel - Homage Here's my history with "American Horror Story;" I like maybe half the season and I just kind of "check out." I don't know what it is about the series, but unlike other people, it's never dug it's nails into me...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1990: Stephen King's Graveyard Shift

EARWORM Stephen King's Graveyard Shift - Earworm I've done my fair share of reading Stephen King, but most of his longform work can be just that....work. I've mainly enjoyed his short stories in "Night Shift" and "Skeleton Crew," but that's mainly because...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1989: Friday the 13th Pt. 8: Jason Takes Manhattan

CHEESE Friday the 13th Pt. 8 - Cheese There is good cheese, and bad cheese; "Friday the 13th Pt. 8" is equals part both, mainly because it is so God damned 80s. It reeks of everything the 1980s was and will always be remembered by. In fact, this film is the...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1988: Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers

WASTE Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers - Waste I'll give the first "Sleepaway Camp" credit....it had balls, in fact it had cock and balls. Spoiler alert, the killer was a guy all along. Of course, "Camp" wasn't breaking new ground, check out "Dressed to...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1987: Near Dark

DECENT Near Dark - Decent It was only a matter of time before I'd sneak a vampire review in here, and I tried to think of one of the most obscure ones I could. This brings me to "Near Dark" and if you pay close enough attention, or use your imagination you...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1986: The Fly

MELTY The Fly - Melty At it's core, "The Fly" is a love story that just happens to end tragically. In the vein of "Frankenstein" and any other mad scientist film you can think of, not only is "The Fly" memorable for it's strong acting and storytelling, it's...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1985: Return of the Living Dead

WHIMSICAL Return of the Living Dead: Whimsical Moving along to 1985 I'm picking one of my horror guilty pleasures. While I'm a little "zombified" by zombies and the undead in general, one film really holds a special place in my heart, and while I do love the...

The Horror Time Capsule - 1984: Gremlins

GOOPY Gremlins - Goopy To kick off The Horror Time Capsule, I thought I would go with something that I remember seeing as a kid a lot, but not so much as an adult. It's funny how so many films in the 80s that were geared towards kids had so many non-kid friendly...
