AMC MonsterFest 1999 (The Phantom Eye) – Episode 6
Happy Halloween! This month we’ve been paying tribute to Roger Corman and remembering all the great films and inspiration he’s given us. Today, I chose something that might seem off the beaten path, but is actually special in many ways. It’s the perfect choice to bring Halloween, horror-marathons and Roger Corman all together, and it’s […]
Piranha (1978) – Episode 5
After the success of Jaws in 1975, many other films tried to cash in, long before the sharksploitation genre really went into overdrive in the 2000s. Roger Corman was quick to hop on the bandwagon, but instead of going with a BIG SHARK, he went the opposite, with a small type of killer fish: Piranhas!
Roger Corman’s Poe series – Episode 4
When it comes to Roger Corman horror films, nothing stands out more than his Poe series! Also known as Corman’s Poe cycle, Roger Corman directed eight films between 1960 and 1964 based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe (nine if you count The Terror). All of these movies hold a special place in my […]
Carnosaur (1993) – Episode 3
Roger Corman’s low-budget answer to Jurassic Park! Directed by Adam Simon of 1990s Brain Dead fame and with special effects and dinosaur animatronics by the legendary John Carl Buechler, Carnosaur would go down as a mockbuster cult classic. I’d never seen it until today, and now I see what I’ve been missing!
It Conquered the World (1956) – Episode 2
Roger Corman did lots of different kinds of movies over the span of his long career, but in the 1950s he directed many low-budget monster movies. This month wouldn’t feel right without featuring at least one of those movies, so today I’m talking about It Conquered the World!
A Bucket of Blood (1959) – Episode 1

Spirit Halloween The Movie (2022) Review – Episode 7
I just love those Spirit Halloween stores, there was nothing like this when I was a kid. Now, every season, they pop up, just kind of appear out of nowhere… like a spirit. Well what if all of the costumes and animatronics inside it came to life? What if you were locked in a Spirit […]
Werewolf by Night (2022) Review – Episode 6
Marvel recently put out a surprise Halloween special Werewolf by Night on Disney Plus. Based off of the classic horror comics, it’s presented in black and white and has the cozy feeling of an old Universal Monster monster movie. I liked it, but was taken aback a little because it wasn’t exactly what I was […]

Halloween (1978) The Movies Within the Movie – Episode 2
Every October, it’s a tradition to watch the original John Carpenter’s Halloween, but what about the horror movies the characters are watching in Halloween? It’s a familiar trope, the movie within the movie, something to compliment what’s actually happening in the film. It could be a tribute to the movies the director grew up, but […]
