THE LOST BOYS
An almost-good movie that suffers from an excess of eighties trendiness
FATAL ATTRACTION
It seems hard to believe that this very silly movie was taken as seriously as it was back in the late 1980s
FANGORIA’S WEEKEND OF HORRORS
This video, the only commercially released documentary on Fangoria’s “Weekend of Horrors” phenomenon, is now a bonafide historical document
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
A most unlikely Hollywood musical from the eighties
LIFEFORCE
A product of the notorious Cannon Group directed by the late Tobe Hooper, and quite possibly the most sheerly ridiculous of all Hooper’s films
LETTERS FROM A DEAD MAN
From pre-Glasnost Russia, a profoundly grim and depressing look at the aftermath of a nuclear war that’s also a supremely lyrical, poetic piece of filmmaking
THE LAUGHING DEAD
The filmmaking debut of novelist S.P. Somtow, and further proof, after Stephen King’s MAXIMUM OVEDRIVE, that horror novelists are better off behind the typewriter
L’ANGE
A stunningly visualized, wordless exercise in dreamlike strangeness that’s an altogether remarkable example of impressionistic razzle-dazzle
THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM
Goofy eighties horror-comedy from Ken Russell, whose finest work this definitely isn’t
LADY TERMINATOR
A bad movie classic that starts out as a fairly typical Eastern sorcery n’ magic yarn somehow mutates into a scene for scene rip-off of THE TERMINATOR
