HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH
The nuttiest of the HALLOWEEN sequels, a Michael Myers-less something-or-other involving computers, Stonehenge, androids and deadly masks.
HALLOWEEN
One of the most iconic horror films of all time, and the most famous ever made by John Carpenter.
DRACULA by Bram Stoker
DRACULA may well be the most famous horror novel of all time. I’m almost chagrined to admit I’m never been entirely thrilled with it.
DEATH’S APPRENTICE
Ambitious and indisputably well written, as you’d expect given that thhe co-author is K.W. Jeter, but only puddle deep.
Christmas & Horror: Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together!
Christmas is a perfect time for some horror movies…some very special horror movies!
CUJO
CUJO carries Stephen King’s well-known penchant for bloat to hellacious extremes. It includes just about every extraneous detail you can think of.
CONSUMED
CONSUMED is the better-late-than-never debut novel 71-year-old David Cronenberg. It has a thoroughly unique and individual voice that falls somewhere between those of William Gibson and Don DeLillo in its concentration on technological minutiae and elegant perversity. It’s also fully in keeping with the obsessions and subject matter of Cronenberg’s films.
BALAOO
The altogether outrageous account of a pithecanthrope, or ape-man.
BAD RONALD
A “hider in the house” tale in the mold of the 1989 film of the same name and THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, but it actually predated them by several decades.
ALRAUNE (Book)
ALRAUNE is probably the late, great German author Hanns Heinz Ewers’ masterpiece.
