Horror Weekly

We’ve got an eclectic collection of weirdness for you this week: The much-improved sequel to last year’s “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” is out, as is a very nice caveman horror film, “Out of Darkness” from last year. “Wolf Creek 2” (2013) continues our fun with Mick from Down Under, and “The Wicker Tree” (2011) shows us how the folks on that crazy island are doing forty years later. We’ll then watch “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” (1988).Then, instead of a single short film, we’ll watch FIVE of them!Announcement: Changes!Our MagazineWe’ve dropped “Bulletin” and are now just “Horror Monthly.” This is in tune with our new Internet domain, HorrorMonthly.com.

A. Milne* Stars Scott Chambers, Tallulah Evans, Ryan Oliva* Run Time: 1 Hour, 33 Minutes* Trailer: Spoiler-Free Judgment ZoneThere’s a bigger budget this time around, with better special effects and more of a background story. There’s a little too much time spent seeing Christopher struggle with his problems. But it has excellent gore kills and a good payoff once things get going.Spoilery SynopsisWe’re reminded of the old story about “The Boy and the Bear,” and we’re told about the Hundred-Acre Massacre, and things haven’t gone so well for Pooh or our heroes. We see an animated intro with Christopher Robin being loaded into an ambulance. Few believed his story, and he became a pariah. The locals searched for Pooh and his friends, searching and burning the woods and driving the animals to new places. Pooh reunited with some of his old friends. We cut to an RV with a woman trying a seance for the “Spirits of the Hundred-Acre wood.” Mia, Jamie, and Alice try using a Ouija board, but they don’t get very far before Pooh gets them. Owl enters the scene, “Who's the abomination now?” Credits roll. Christopher Robin finishes up with his therapist. His girlfriend, Lexy, says it’s like he’s trying to make her leave him. He gets home and finds that the neighbors have vandalized his car. When the police find the three women and the burned RV, the locals go out hunting for “those things.” Owl reports to Pooh and Piglet, “We trusted Christopher.” Owl is tired of hiding; he wants to take the fight to the humans. Something big in a locked room growls ominously…The hunters are still out after dark. They find Piglet and blow his head off. Pooh shows up and makes short work of the three hunters. Chris gets laid off from the hospital; the administration has had complaints. He goes home to visit h

It’s time to catch up on some newer releases. We’ll take a look at 2024’s “Arcadian,” “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” “Cold Blows the Wind,” and “New Life.” For our oldies, we’ll look at 1966’s “Psycho Circus” and 1991’s “Child’s Play 3.” They’re mostly decent, but we had some nits to pick with each of them. Check out all our books with one easy link: https://brianschell.com/collection/horrorguys2024 Arcadian* Directed by Benjamin Brewer* Written by Mike Nilon* Stars Nicolas Cage, Jaeden Martell, Maxwell Jenkins* Run Time: 1 Hour, 32 Minutes* Trailer: Spoiler-Free Judgment ZoneThis was very slow-moving and low on action for the first hour or so, focusing more on survivors and how they were carrying on. We’re gradually filled in on how the world is now, and things pick up in the last half hour with much more action. Not everything is explained, but it tells a good story that we liked.Spoilery SynopsisA man in a backpack runs through the deserted streets. We hear sirens, gunshots, and explosions as credits roll. Paul continues running, past piles of bodies and past hordes of screaming people. He gets out of town as civilization collapses around him. At some point, he picks up a baby. Fifteen years later, Paul and his two sons, Joseph and Thomas, live out in the country, away from the city. When it starts getting dark, they all close up the shutters over the windows and heavily lock the doors. Thomas has been spending a lot of time at the Rose farm. As the boys play chess, the dog starts scratching at the floor, which gets all of them on alert. Suddenly, there’s crazy banging at the door, and they have to help hold the door shut. Whatever it is, they soon go away. In the morning, the outside of the door is covered with scratches. Paul talks about the Earth being past the worst part, and the air and water are getting cleaner. He still has hope for humanity, but Joseph isn’t so sure. Joseph has gotten an old cart running, and they use it to drive to the town for some salvage. Thomas, on the other hand, is obsessed with hanging out at the Rose farm; Mr. and Mrs. Rose are nice, but he’s way more interested in their daughter, Charlotte. Charlotte and Thomas play a game of recap the apocalypse badly in ten seconds. Charlotte says it’s something to do with bugs and a plague and the machines taking revenge. Thomas says everyone turned into wolves and ran into the forest. Or just maybe the kids are making all this up. There’s an accident, and Thomas doesn’t make it home one night. Paul goes looking for him while Joseph stays to lock up and defend the house. Thomas fell into a ravine, and at least one of the creatures is down there. Joseph doesn’t lock the door properly, and one of them gets in– but is promptly caught in a trap. Joseph knew what he was doing. Meanwhile, the creatures are digging into where Paul and Thomas are trying to hide for the night. Paul ignites something that explodes. In the morning, Thomas pulls the unconscious Paul out of the ravine and Joseph picks them up in the car. Thomas wants to see the creature in the cage, but it’s terrified of the sunlight. It goes badly, and they end up killing it when it escapes. Thomas takes Paul to the Roses’ place for help, but they refuse to get involved. Thomas stays with them anyway, but Joseph takes Paul back to their house. Mr. Rose catches Charlotte and Thomas kissing and doesn’t like it one bit. Charlotte gives Thomas some medication and runs home, but the men at the farm take exception and kidnap him. The monsters take the opportunity to attack Charlotte’s parents. Everyone dies except for Thomas and Charlotte, who escape back to Paul’s house and meet up with Joseph. The three young people have to defend themselves and Paul from the monsters. They carry in a big chest freezer and a bunch of gasoline and explosives; he’s going to make a trap. The creatures soon get inside the house. Suddenly, Paul wakes up and starts fighting the horde that’s gotten into the house. Paul uses himself as bait as everything explodes. Charlotte, Thomas, and Joseph hide inside the freezer to avoid the carnage. Not all the creatures are dead, so the three run to the car and drive off. The monsters pursue, even while on fire. In the morning, they have a little funeral for… essentially everyone. Maybe some of the other neighboring farms survived, so they’re gonna go look…CommentaryThis one is very slow moving and at about the one-hour mark, I was starting to suspect that it wasn’t going anywhere. Nic Cage is good here, but he’s out of the picture for a large part of the film, leaving the drama in the hands of the two boys. The action does pick up in the final half-hour. We don’t get a really good, close look at the monsters, but what we do see is really something else, like werewolf-alligators. We never really do get an explanation of what happened to the world or what the creatures really are. 2023 New Life* Directed by John Rosman* Written by John Rosman* Stars Sonya Walger, Tony Ame

It’s been three years since we did our last “Shark Week,” and we thought it was high tide to do another. But this time with a twist– they’re all horror comedies. We’ll start off with “Sharktopus,” a terrible, terrible film that was good enough to spawn two sequels, “Sharktopus vs Pteracuda” and “Sharktopus vs Whalewolf,” which actually got better as the series progressed. Then we’ll take a look at “Sharkenstein” and “Sharkula,” which you can probably guess all you need to know from the names alone. Finally, we’ll watch “Shark Side of the Moon,” a silly sci-fi story about a colony of sharks, you guessed it, on the moon. Check out all our books with one easy link: https://brianschell.com/collection/horrorguys2010 Sharktopus* Directed by Declan O’Brien* Written by Mike MacLean, Steven Niver* Stars Eric Roberts, Kerem Bursin, Sara Malakul Lane* Run Time: 1 Hour, 29 Minutes* Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U87zVkIXNI0Spoiler-Free Judgment ZoneYou have to just let yourself go and think of this one as silly entertainment to enjoy it. When just a shark isn’t scary enough, add some tentacles, and you’ve got another level. This is well made for what it is, with some low-level CGI, and we thought it was a pretty fun watch.Spoilery SynopsisWe open on a bright, sunny day at Santa Monica Beach as the credits roll. One girl goes for a swim as her friend remains behind to play on her phone. Soon, a shark fin appears and chases Bree. Just as it’s about to bite her, giant tentacles reach up and kill the shark. The creature looks like half a shark, but it has tentacles too, and has some kind of electronic control device on it. We cut to a control room where Nathan Sands shows Commander Cox footage of the whole incident. Nathan’s daughter, Nicole, explains that S-11 is completely under their control, a new weapon for the US Navy. They recall the S-11, but it’s on an intercept course for another vessel. The Commander wants the S-11 to pursue the little motorboat as a test. The speedboat does something unexpected, and it knocks the control collar off of the S-11. The “Sharktopus” stops responding and is now uncontrollable. This could be… bad. The Sharktopus is heading to Mexico, so they track it to Puerto Vallarta; Nathan and Nicole go as well. Santos recommends that they call in Andy Flynn to help, a guy who Nathan fired for being too greedy. Nathan tells Andy that he needs S-11 captured, not killed. Stacy, an investigative reporter, tracks down Pez about a photo he took of the Sharktopus. Meanwhile, a couple goes bungee jumping over the ocean; it’s like dangling bait over the aquarium as the Sharktopus leaps up and grabs the girl (played by Roger Corman’s daughter, Mary). A pirate radio station reports that the Sharktopus is in the area. He suggests that someone is filming a low budget horror movie. Pez takes Stacy to where he saw the creature and they soon see it again. The creature attacks a bunch of people on the beach and causes a stampede. Stacy reports this on the news, so now everyone knows about it. Pez thinks he can track the creature from the previous movements. Andy confronts Nicole about what she’s hiding. Sharks aren’t serial killers; could they have genetically modified the creature to make it more vicious? We cut to Nathan and Commander Cox talking about just that. Andy and his men dive where they think the creature is, and it fights back, eating everyone but him. Andy gets a big gash on his leg, but Santos patches him up. Nathan tells Nicole that he enhanced its aggressiveness to make it a killer for the military. Andy and Nicole run into Pez and Stacy’s boat. Pez is eaten by the shark before Andy shoots at it, running it off. Sharktopus then attacks Bob and Ed, a couple of jet skiers, before heading for another beach. Stacy figures out that Blue Water is behind the creature, a shady genetic engineering firm with government contracts. The creature then eats the pirate radio guy even as he makes fun of it on the radio. After a few more random attacks, Commander Cox wants to bring in a team to kill the Sharktopus, but Nathan wants it captured alive. The creature then attacks the main resort in Puerto Vallarta, and that’s crazy. Andy shoots at it, but it appears to be bulletproof. Nathan shows his true colors as he confronts Andy, but Nicole takes Andy’s side. Suddenly, the Sharktopus attacks all of them, and Nathan’s goons are all killed. When it grabs Nicole, Nathan jumps in, and it kills him instead. The Sharktopus arrives at another resort and starts eating people and jumping for people riding on the zip lines. Nicole tells Andy that the creature’s “kill switch” might still be working, but they have to get close to it. Meanwhile, Stacy and her cameraman meet an unfortunate end. Andy tranquilizes the monster and keeps it busy as Nicole tries to hack the kill switch on her computer. It’s all very tense until she guesses the password, and the shark’s brain explodes. We’re not going to see the Sharktopus

Wait Until Dark, The Entity, Space Amoeba, Dark Places, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and The Torture Chamber of Dr. SadismWeekly Horror Bulletin Issue #289We’ve got a mixed bag this week, some really good films and some awful stinkers. That’s OK; we watch them, so you don’t have to. We’ll start off with the classic “Wait Until Dark” from 1967. then move on to the scary “The Entity” from 1982. We’ll take a fun break with “Space Amoeba” from 1970 and watch a short film as well. We’ll then move on to 1978’s “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes,” which really is as bad as you’ve heard. We’ll then watch a pair of old Christopher Lee films, “Dark Places” from 1973 and “The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism” from 1967. Check out all our books with one easy link: https://brianschell.com/collection/horrorguysThe Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism (1967) * AKA “Blood Demon” and “The Snakepit and the Pendulum”* Directed by Harald Reinl* Written by Manfred R. Kohler, Edgar Allan Poe* Stars Lex Barker, Karin Dor, Christopher Lee* Run Time: 1 Hour, 24 Minutes* Watch it: Spoiler-Free Judgment ZoneThis is loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe’s work, but it’s kind of a mishmash of The Pit and The Pendulum with living dead and weird science and dark magic. The music was somewhat mismatched for the seriousness sometimes and it was a little draggy at times, but overall, it was pretty good.Spoilery SynopsisA jailer, judge, and executioner walk into a cell where Count Regula has been found guilty of torturing and murdering people. He’s killed 12 people and is sentenced to be quartered. The count swears to destroy the judge, Roger Von Marienberg, and his entire family in retaliation. They put a mask of spikes on the count and lead him on the long walk outside as credits roll. Out in the village square, they tie his arms and legs to four horses and then whip the horses. 35 years later, people are still talking about the execution of the old count. Roger Mont Elise is a lawyer, and an old man gives him a letter from Count Frederic Regula, offering to tell him about his past. A woman related to the old baroness gets a letter as well. Roger arrives in town and asks about Castle Andomai. People run away when he even says the name. He watches a religious procession to “drive out the man-eating monster in the valley.” That’s where Count Regula killed the twelve virgins and was quartered. Another old man warns him not to go, as Count Regula died 35 years ago. Roger tells the old priest in the carriage that he doesn’t know who his parents were or where he was born. He’s going to the castle to find out some answers. Roger’s carriage interrupts a bunch of highwaymen about to kidnap Lilian von Brabant and her servant Babette. They just happen to be going to the same place and they all share a carriage. She has a similar letter about her mother’s estate. They arrive at the castle, but it’s a burned-down ruin. There’s an old man camping there. As they drive away, what’s left of the castle collapses completely. The coachman insists on returning to town, at least until the priest pulls a pistol. They pass mannequins in trees; there are arms and legs everywhere. Night falls, and they’re all lost in “The Forbidden Forest,” much to the driver’s dismay. There are bodies hanging from nooses on the trees, and the carriage runs over a few on the road. The driver has a heart attack and dies. Roger and the priest, Father Fabian, get out to check on all the corpses, and a strange man takes the carriage and the women. Roger and Fabian find the ruins of Castle Andomai and Regula’s tombstone. They find an underground passage that leads to a whole complex of rooms. The strange man who took the carriage comes to greet them; he’s Anatol. The women are there, and Lilian plays the piano. She doesn’t seem to recognize either Roger or the priest. Anatol says he gave her a drug to calm her, but that doesn’t seem right to Roger. Babette is there as well, and she seems normal enough. Father Fabian admits that he’s just a robber, not really a priest. Lilian comes out of her delusion and is terrified. They find a painting on the wall of both Lilian and Roger. Fabian comes in yelling that Babette is being tortured. She’s tied to a big contraption that is going to slowly lower her onto spikes. Roger and Fabian are on the other side of a locked door. They break in the door and save her just in time. She says it was Anatol who put her in the trap. Anatol chases Babette some more, and Fabian shoots him. “I’ve been dead for years; they hanged me. I am invulnerable.” Anatol laughs maniacally. He shows them to Count Regula’s body, encased in glass. “His spirit is still intact. He shall live again.” Fabian gets locked in a room with no doors as Anatol works a ritual to revive the dead count. The count, still in his mask of spikes, wakes up. He’s pale and scarred, but looks much better than expected. Anatol reports that Lilian and Roger are the daughter and son of the count’s enemies. The count d

We’ll start out this week watching the recent “I Saw the TV Glow” from 2024. We liked it but admit that we probably didn’t fully understand all of it. Then we’ll get caught up by watching the most recent three movies in the “Saw” series: “Jigsaw” (2017), “Spiral” (2021), and “Saw X” from 2023. Then we’ll watch some old classics, “Black Sunday” from 1960 and “The Invisible Ghost” from way back in 1941. This is one of those rare weeks where we liked everything!Check out all our books with one easy link: https://brianschell.com/collection/horrorguysI Saw the TV Glow (2024) * Directed by Jane Schoenbrun* Written by Jane Schoenbrun* Stars Justice Smith, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Ian Foreman* Run Time: 1 Hour, 40 Minutes* Trailer: Spoiler-Free Judgment ZoneThis is a beautiful, well-made movie with bright colors and angst and allegories galore. It’s a slow-moving piece, and we can’t say we quite understood it, but it kept us watching with fascination. It’s just a television show that Owen is watching, so how could it be impacting reality? Well, it certainly seems to be. We’d recommend it for a watch with the caveat that you’ll probably love it, hate it, or be baffled.Spoilery SynopsisYoung Owen watches a trailer for a horror movie on TV. Credits roll. It’s 1996, and Owen is in school, waiting for his mother to vote. He sees a girl reading a book about that show, “Pink Opaque.” He talks to Maddy, who’s two years ahead of him in school. He wants to watch the show, but it’s on in the evening past his bedtime. He asks his mom if he can stay over at a friend’s house, and she makes it all as awkward as possible. Then he goes to Maddy’s house instead, where he can stay up to watch the show. We watch some of the show, and it’s full of lame teenage dialogue and a killer ice cream cone. Afterward, Maddy explains the show to him; the ice cream man is just the monster of the week, Mr. Melancholy is the “Big Bad.” Isabel and Tara are the main characters, and they are the Pink Opaque. He doesn’t really understand most of it. He goes to sleep on the floor at her house. In the morning, Owen walks home, thinking about the show. Two years later, Owen’s mother has cancer. She says he always seems like he’s somewhere else lately. He still has a 10:15 bedtime, and he’s not allowed to watch the show. His father is a jerk, so he’s still not allowed to watch it. He tells Maddy this, and she starts taping it for him. She also writes him a lot of notes about the show. He watches them over and over again. We watch part of the pilot episode with him, where the two girls meet. Owen wants to stay at Maddy’s house overnight and watch the show live, but she warns him that she’s into girls, not him. Owen doesn’t much care for boys or girls, he just likes TV shows. He thinks maybe there’s something wrong with him. They stay up late (for him) and watch the show, and Maddy cries during the episode. Maddy tells Owen that she’s going to be leaving town soon, as her parents are just terrible. She draws the symbol that the TV show characters have on their backs, on his. That night, he dreams about the glow of the TV. Maddy tells Owen to make plans for next week, so they can run away together. He doesn’t really want to go, and Maddy disappears without a trace; all they found was her TV set burning in the backyard. “The Pink Opaque” got canceled that same month. Eight years later, Owen works at a theater. He’s still very shy around people, and his coworkers laugh at him. One night, on the drive home from work, he sees strange lights in the road- a fallen power cable. He finds a page from one of the Pink Opaque books. Owen’s mother has died years before, and his father is still awful. Owen goes to the grocery store and sees someone acting strangely. It’s Maddy. We cut to a band singing a song as Owen and Maddy talk in the back. Everyone thought she was dead, but all she wants to talk about is the show. “Do you remember it as just a TV show? Do you ever get confused? Like the memory isn’t quite right?” We flash back to her making him wear dresses during the show. Were they actually in the show? She says she has been inside the show for all these years. She can’t stay here much longer, she’s going back soon. She wants him to meet her tomorrow night at midnight. Owen goes home and watches the tape of the show’s final episode. It absolutely doesn’t feel like a kids’ show anymore. Both the main characters die and are buried alive. Then the show just ends. Owen’s father goes into the basement and finds Owen trying to crawl inside the picture tube of the TV. The father carries him up to the bathroom, where he vomits TV sparks. Owen goes to see Maddy, who explains that she ran away to Phoenix and got a job. She bought a coffin and paid some guy to bury her alive. She talks about watching herself start to die and then clawing her way out of the coffin. She goes on and on about her exploits and drama. She says all his memories were put there to distract him from the Mid

It’s Road Kill Week here with the Horror Guys. The rubber hits the road with “Mad Max” from 1979, “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior” from 1981, and “Max Max: Beyond Thunderdome” from 1985. We wait about thirty years for the next installment, “Mad Max: Fury Road” from 2015. Then we’ll go back and see the movie that influenced the whole thing, “Duel” from 1971. Just for laughs, we’ll also take a look at “Rubber” from 2010. Check out all our books with one easy link: https://brianschell.com/collection/horrorguysMad Max (1979)* Directed by George Miller* Written by James McCausland, George Miller, Byron Kennedy* Stars Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley* Run Time: 1 Hour, 28 Minutes* Trailer: Spoiler-Free Judgment ZoneThis was a heavily action thriller movie, but it’s grim enough to be horror adjacent. It’s set somewhat in the future from the 70s, or in a vaguely alternate timeline, without really being futuristic or seeming too science fiction. We thought it holds up pretty well, and it’s one that you should check out as where the ongoing Mad Max movies began.Spoilery SynopsisAfter the most 70s credit ever, we are told it’s “a few years from now…” A couple of young cops get a call about a cop killer on the highway. Before they go, they argue over who gets to drive. They’re chasing “terminal psychotics,” and we see the police leader, Max, getting into his car. They pick up more cops and some tow trucks as the chase continues. We cut to a couple arguing, an RV driver who can’t drive, and a baby walking in the road. This goes badly for all involved, except the maniac, who calls himself The Night Rider, gets away with his girl sidekick. Charlie, one of the cops, gets hurt pretty badly. Max finally starts his car and awaits the Night Rider, who says on the radio that he works for Toecutter. Night Rider and Max play chicken on the road, and then it’s another chase. Night Rider’s car explodes in a big fireball. That night, back at home, Max watches his wife, Jessie, play the saxophone. They have a really nice house out on the Australian coast. Max goes to work, and we see the police aren’t what they used to be, but they do have some really souped-up cars. Max hears from the captain that the Night Rider’s friends are out to get him now, but Max doesn’t seem concerned. A whole bunch of bikers come to town, led by Toecutter. They’ve come to pick up Night Rider’s body. The gang is rowdy in town, picking on the locals. They chase one guy and his girlfriend’s car, and they soon run him off the road. They destroy the guy’s fancy car and terrorize the couple inside. Max and Goose get a call about the bikers, and they respond. They find the girl in shock, and Johnny the Boy, one of the bikers, high out of his mind. Toecutter sends one of his guys to get him out. No one in town presses charges, and they have to release Johnny. This enrages Goose, who takes it all very personally. Later, Toecutter shows Johnny how much he is displeased. Later, while the cops are all at a dance club, someone sabotages Goose’s motorcycle. In the morning, Goose rides off and Johnny smiles from a distance. Naturally, his bike waits until he’s going at a very high speed before it all falls apart. He’s not hurt, but the bikers ambush him in his borrowed truck on the way back. With Goose trapped upside down and gas leaking, Toecutter goads Johnny into setting him on fire, and they watch him burn. Max rushes to the hospital, where all the other cops are waiting. Goose is badly burned and on a ventilator. What Max sees is bad enough to give him nightmares that night. The next morning, Max tries to resign, but the captain, Fifi, offers him a few weeks off instead. We get a montage of Max and Jessie enjoying their time off together. They go on a picnic, get a flat tire, and take it to the mechanic to get the tire fixed. Jessie and the baby go to town for some ice cream and run into the bikers. Jessie knees Toecutter in the groin and drives off with the whole gang in pursuit, but they do get away. We do see that the bikers aren’t very far behind. Later, Jessie goes to the beach, and the bikers chase her through the woods. She gets away, but the baby suddenly goes missing. She’s confronted by the gang, steals the baby, and runs away down the road, where she’s run down by the gang. The baby is killed, and Jessie is severely injured just before Max catches up. Max freaks out and goes to get the souped-up police “Pursuit Special.” He starts tracking down the Toecutter gang. He finds a group of them and runs several off the road. The survivors call Toecutter to join them. Max gets shot in the knee, and his arm gets run over. That just makes him mad. He shotguns Toecutter’s last remaining gang member. Max gets back in the car and chases Toecutter into running head-first into a semi-truck. Later, he finds Johnny at the site of another accident that he probably caused. Max cuffs Johnny’s ankle to the wreckage, sets up a lighter next to a leaking p

This week, we’ve got a neat mix of things, starting with “They/Them” from last year and “Immaculate” from last month. We’ll check in on a young werewolf in “My Animal” from 2023 and then run to the country for 2021’s “The Retreat.” We’ll meet an unusual pet in “Good Boy” and then watch Freddy die again in “Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare” from back in 1991.

It’s a slasher at an isolated camp, which has certainly been done before, but it’s different enough to be interesting. We give it a weak thumbs up.Spoilery SynopsisA woman drives down the country road at night and gets a flat tire. She looks in the road and sees tire spikes back there; that wasn’t an accident. She gets scared by a deer, but we see a masked killer out there as well. She gets the chop while we see that “Whistler Camp” is just over the hill. In the morning, a bunch of kids get off the bus at the camp as credits roll. Owen comes out to talk to the kids. “Gay people are A-OK with me. I can’t make you straight. You start hearing the words ‘gay conversion camp’ and you get the wrong idea.” He does, in fact, make it all sound very relaxing and not traumatic at all. He introduces Cora, Molly, Zane, Sarah, and Balthazar, the staff of the camp. He takes their cellphones, cigarettes, and medications. He sends the boys to the boys’ cabin and the girls to the girls’ cabin. Jordan wonders which cabin they should use, as they are nonbinary. Owen is completely reasonable about it, which impresses everyone, suggesting they go to the boys cabin for now. We soon meet Toby, who’s a theater nerd. Veronica hates herself for being bisexual. Kim doesn’t want to pretend anymore. Some of them are just there because their parents made them. Jordan’s family made them come. Balthazar the handyman creeps out watching the girl campers, and Veronica tells him off that they’re the wrong team. Alexandra gets caught showering alone early in the morning, and she hasn’t been quite honest about who she physically is below the waist. We don’t see it, but one of the staff does, and she’s sent to the boys cabin. She wants her hormone pills, and Molly gives them to her.Then we have a camp activity montage, and it looks like everyone is having a good time. In the middle of the night, Zane wakes them all up and leads them out into the woods, handcuffed in pairs. Owen is there, and this is all some kind of self-reliance exercise. He wants them to wander around in the woods and find their way back to camp by morning, handcuffed to their partners. Jordan tells Alexandra that they think something is wrong with the camp; there’s not enough Bible-thumping and queer bashing. They both get a glimpse of the masked killer in the woods, but he’s gone when they look again. Back at camp, Cora and Sarah go through everyone’s stuff. In the morning, everyone is back at camp. Jordan gets to talk to Dr. Cora about his life and psychological issues. She’s… not encouraging to Jordan, and they get upset. All the campers then break out in song as Owen watches from outside. There is supposed to be a killer in this, isn’t there?That night, Jordan sneaks into the park office and finds pictures of beaten, scarred, and abused people. Former campers that have been coming there for decades, Owen’s ancestors started the place. Molly comes in, and he shows her the photos; she didn’t know. She warns Jordan that things could get a lot worse. We see Balthazar watching closed-circuit cameras of the girls’ shower. The killer comes up behind him and lets him have it. In the morning, the girls all work together to make pies while the guys shoot guns. Molly goes out to a shed and finds a locked room there, at least until Cora finds her and makes her leave. Jordan is an excellent shot, and Zane seems to take offense to that. They have a little contest, and Jordan easily wins. Owen wants Toby to shoot his sickly old dog. It’s all very stressful until Jordan shoots the dog first. Back in the kitchen, Sarah hits on Kim; she’s not supposed to be doing that, and Kim is weirded out. Later, she tells Veronica about it, and they talk about their problems, which escalates into something naughty they aren’t supposed to do in a gay conversion camp. Stu and Gabriel do the same thing in the tool shed. Jordan, Alexandra, and Toby make plans to steal the bus and leave in the morning. Stuart finds himself in a trap set by Owen and Zane. Gabriel

This week, we’ll start with three brand-new films, all of which we liked. 2024 has brought us “The Moor,” “Arena Wars,” and “Realm of Shadows.” Next we’ll watch a couple of fun films we missed in 2018, “The Perfection” and “The Devil’s Path.” Finally, we’ll head back to Japan with 1968’s “Destroy All Monsters.”Check out all our books with one easy link: https://brianschell.com/collection/horrorguys2024 The Moor* Directed by Chris Cronin* Written by Paul Thomas* Stars Sophia La Porta, David Edward-Robertson, Elizabeth Dormer-Phillips, Bernard Hill* Run Time: 1 Hour, 58 Minutes* Trailer: Spoiler-Free Judgment ZoneThis was grim and moody and quite slow moving. It pulls you along though, and we didn’t think it ever got dull. Much of it takes place on an endless flat and foggy landscape which makes it all the more chilling when something strange pops up. And it caps off with a satisfying ending. We’d give it a thumbs up.Spoilery SynopsisWe open up on two children arguing about robbing the candy store. The little boy distracts the shopkeeper while his friend loads her bag with snacks and runs out. Her friend doesn’t come out, so she goes back inside looking for him; the shopkeeper says his dad came in and took him. We see “missing” posters of the boy as credits roll. Many missing posters, followed by headlines telling us that a man was sentenced to 25 years for the crimes. Twenty-five years later, Claire has grown up and talks to Bill, the boy’s father, about the killer’s sentence ending. They never found Danny’s body, so they couldn’t lock the man up forever; Bill wants to go up to the moors and search for Danny’s body. He complains about how the vultures from the news have hounded him for years. Claire agrees to go with him and Liz to search the peat moss moors. They have a map and they’re systematically searching the whole thing, which is going to take many days. We cut to an old interview with people originally involved with the investigation 25 years ago. People talk about the moors, where the bodies were supposedly hidden. Claire talks to Mr. Thornley, an old friend who was in charge of the original search, and mentions that Bill still goes up there to search. He knows all about the moors and shows that the moors are much, much larger than Claire realized. “How could anything be found in this?” Thornley is confused why Bill is searching in that particular area. Claire goes to see Bill, who has a psychic (dowser) there pointing to areas on a map. Bill, Claire, and Liz go back out for more searching, and Liz reiterates how dangerous it is here. It’s all very scenic in a really bleak way. Claire wears a GoPro and records the whole thing. It’s miles and miles of bleak, foggy, grassy, swamp terrain. Claire falls into a ravine and hears the others calling for her. She finds a child’s shoe down there, and the others soon catch up to her. Bill looks validated. On the way back, Liz leads them past some kind of neolithic stone monument. Claire starts to panic about being lost, but Liz says they aren’t lost, and soon come to the road where they parked. Back in town, the police aren’t much interested in the shoe, saying it doesn’t indicate anything. Back to the interview shows, they talk about the man who was arrested for the crimes. They wouldn’t show the man’s face on the news, which made him even more scary to the public. He only got one life sentence, which is 25 years, but he must have killed many children. On the next trip out to the moor, Claire has a vision, seeing Danny– No, just a dream. Bill invites Alex, his dowsing friend, over, and they argue about someone else who’s involved– Eleanor, Alex’s daughter. Bill explains to Claire that Eleanor tried to help them before, but there were… issues. Alex has never asked for any money, so he’s not a crook. He really believes. Eleanor wants to try something different. She uses the dowsing pointer to go over the map and gets nothing. Then she touches the shoe that they found, and the pointer gets really obvious about a location. It’s a long walk from the road, most of the day just to get there. Eleanor wants to go help, but Alex is not supportive of the idea. Liz packs a whole lot of safety equipment just to be sure. Alex tells Claire that this sort of thing always has a cost for Eleanor. Soon, Eleanor picks up the spirit of a little girl on the moor. Something scares her, and she runs off– right over a cliff into a ravine. She’s obviously hurt, and Alex and Claire tend to her, but Bill starts digging where she fell and finds a body. Four weeks later, Claire complains about nightly nightmares about the little girl’s face in the mud. They didn’t find Danny, but the body was enough evidence to keep the killer in jail for a long time; the little girl died three years before Danny, so the killer was at it for a while. Bill, however, is still looking for Danny. Eleanor doesn’t want to go back up there, but she talks about Thomas, who is her spiritual guardian and the one wh

Note: We’re trying something new this week; we’re including the audio podcast embedded in the newsletter as a convenience for you. If you like it, hate it, or it causes technical issues, or if it just doesn’t work, let me know: [email protected] week, we’ll start with three brand-new films, all of which we liked. 2024 has brought us “Sting,” “The First Omen,” and “Insane Like Me.” Then we’ll talk about a really weird one, “Titane” from 2024. For our bonus movies, we’ll look at “Cthulhu” (2008) and “Jesus Shows You The Way to the Highway” (2019). Check out all our books with one easy link: https://brianschell.com/collection/horrorguysPsst: for the next five days, you can get the June 2024 “Horror Bulletin Monthly” issue from Amazon for FREE.

Spiders from space! In addition to the creep factor, this has a lot of dark humor and offbeat characters. The story is a little basic, but they dress it up nicely into an entertaining film.Spoilery SynopsisWe hear that an asteroid passed near to Earth yesterday, and today it’s unusually cold outside– it’s a very rare ice storm. We watch an old woman knitting– until she hears something upstairs running around. She pulls out an [antique] phonebook to call an exterminator. We see from the notes on the wall that it looks like she has Alzheimer’s. Frank the exterminator comes by but the “Bug Brothers” are parked right outside. Frank warns the confused Helga about the green snot coming out of her vents. He hears the noise right away and goes in to check it out. He finds a blood trail in the back bedroom and a “Bug Brothers” hardhat before he starts screaming. Something drags him back into the room and closes the door. Old Helga forgets all this and goes back to her knitting. She hears banging noises and calls an exterminator… Four days earlier, we see a meteor crash down into Helga’s apartment building, and a big spider hatches out of it as Credits Roll. A kid breaks in through the ventilation shaft and finds the spider; she puts the spider in a matchbox and Gunter, a mean-looking old woman, comes in. As she crawls through the ducts, we see the other people who live in the building. We see that the girl is Charlotte, and she’s Ethan the apartment manager’s stepdaughter. Gunter is her grandmother who owns the building. Her mother is Heather. Charlotte names her spider “Sting” and feeds it other bugs. Charlotte’s other grandmother is the addled Helga, who watches horror movies and knits all day. Charlotte wrote a comic book, and Ethan drew it, and it’s become quite popular. They are working on the next issue. Sometime during the night, the spider gets into the vents. Not long after, something eats Gunter’s parrot in a really gnarly way– it’s partly melted and half-eaten. Ethan calls Frank the exterminator. He’s sure it’s not rats and that whatever it was, it came through the ducts. We soon see that Charlotte’s spider is back in the jar and that it really hates mothballs. Frank and Charlotte talk about pets; he says spiders only know “Eat” and “Kill,” they can’t love. Charlotte continues feeding Sting, and Sting is getting bigger. Maria is doing things in her apartment, and we see there’s a spider in there. It jumps at her, and she loses track of it. She’s been bitten, and soon falls down, paralyzed but not dead. The spider crawls down her throat then out her abdomen. Ethan finds Maria’s dog in the ventilation shaft. He takes the dog back and finds what’s left of Maria. Charlotte goes to see Erik upstairs to buy one of his aquariums for Sting. She’s taught it to whistle, and Erik is a little creeped out. Erik is a weird biology student, and he wants the spider. Erik calls Ethan about the spider and it’s dangerous– and quite large. Ethan confronts Charlotte about the spider, and she doesn’t take it well. They fight about her real father. Erik says he’s going to turn into the spider to the Department of Health, but he actually keeps it and feeds it bigger things from his specimens. It’s soon big enough to break out of the glass aquarium. Gunter fires Ethan, her own son-in-law. Gunter says he’s weak and a quitter. That night, Gunter hears her cat in the hallway, but when she drunkenly crawls into the event, the spider gets her. The spider jumps down and bites both Heather and Ethan. Charlotte’s got earphones on and misses all of it. It drags them away before she takes the headphones off. She does notice, however, when it steals her baby brother. She quickly makes a solution of mothballs in water bottles and loads pesticide into a squirt gun. Gunter and Ethan wake up webbed and unable to speak. Charlotte checks on Helga, who is fine. Helga saw the spider, but it ran away from her– because she smells like mothballs. Charl

This week, we’ll start with three brand-new films, all of which we liked. 2024 has brought us “Abigail,” “Pandemonium,” and “Infested.” Then we’ll talk about a fairly obscure oldie, “The Deathhead Virgin” from 1974.

Episode 276 It must be Spring– there’s no new horror this week. Instead, we’ll take a look at some more oldies. We’ll start with the seventh Saw movie, “Saw 3D: The Final Chapter.” It wasn’t in 3D for us, and it wasn’t the final chapter, but that’s the way things go sometimes. We’ll stop in on Johnny Depp and Tim Burton with 2012’s “Dark Shadows” spoof. Then we’ll watch a contender for Worst Movie of All Time with “Dead Sea.” As a palette cleanser, we’ll watch the stalker movie “Cold Creek Manor.” The weekly newsletter this time around has two more oldies. Neither of these films are horror, but both star Peter Lorre, the subject of this week’s free biography: “The Man Who Knew Too Much” (1932 ) Hitchcock! “The Maltese Falcon” (1941) Bogart!
