My mother’s listened to Agnes Moorehead’s original radio production – a role she tackled till the 1960s – and I’m interested in comparing these two. On its own film, Sorry, … Continue Reading Sorry, Wrong Number (1948)
Psycho (1960)

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)
You might call this cheating, but this review ran already. It originally ran as part of my Halloween films, so if you missed it the first time here it is. … Continue Reading The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)
The TCM Top Twelve for November
With the mad rush of Halloween I’m behind on putting out my TCM Top Twelve for November. Thankfully, I only had to drop one movie that’s already run. The twelve … Continue Reading The TCM Top Twelve for November
Trick ‘r Treat (2007)
It was beyond ambitious of me to review 31 films in 31 days but I persevered and only dropped two films from the rotation, and this review was only two days behind … Continue Reading Trick ‘r Treat (2007)
Fiend Without a Face (1958)
Fiend Without a Face is cheese at its finest. The plot is meandering and ridiculous but boy is the final minutes of it hilarious! If anything I recommend watching the … Continue Reading Fiend Without a Face (1958)
Angel Heart (1987)
For some reason I appear to be out of sync with the films I’ve picked for Halloween and it always pains me when I simply say “eh it was okay” … Continue Reading Angel Heart (1987)
The House of the Devil (2009)

Suspiria (1977)

I Walked With a Zombie (1943)

Cat People (1942)
I really need to stop scheduling in advance, things never go right! I know I mentioned moving I Walked with a Zombie to today but I always forget that … Continue Reading Cat People (1942)
Village of the Damned (1960)
I’m a fan of “creepy kid” films, i.e. movies where children are possessed, murderous, aliens, what have you! Oddly enough, the British seem to have a hold of this genre … Continue Reading Village of the Damned (1960)
The TCM Top Twelve for October
