Italian Horror
ITALIAN HORRORS covers Italian horror films released between 1979 and 1994. Why those years? Well, primarily for convenience. They mark the release dates of Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE, the film that instigated the last great wave of Italian horror, and Michele Soavi's DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE, the last great Italian horror film. After the release of Soavi's film, relatively few new Italian horror movies were made; the trend had run its course, and such films were no longer seen as commercially…

Film noir, a classic film style of the ‘40s and ‘50s, is noted for its dark themes, stark camera angles and high-contrast lighting.

I Saw What You Did
(1999)
"The telephone was the star of my next film," writes William Castle in his autobiography Step Right Up! I'm Gonna Scare the Pants Off America as he describes I Saw What You Did, a lightweight thriller about two schoolgirls and a prank phone call that backfires with a vengeance. When the girls whisper "I saw what you did, and I know who you are" to a perfect stranger, little do they know he has just murdered his wife and is now out to silence any witnesses. An aging John…

Swan River is a compelling and nostalgic family memoir that explores themes of love, loss, and discovery. As a child, David Reynolds developed a fascination with the story of his grandfather, who had mysteriously disappeared from London decades earlier.

They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They…

Midnight Thirsts: Erotic Tales: Erotic Tales of the Vampire
I really enjoyed this book and was tempted to read some of it again."The Vampire Stone" by Timothy Ridge is by far the best written. It's filled with great details about the locations and characters. So descript, you actually feel like you're right there in this sleepy Hudson River village. Articulate and exciting, the Vampire Stone's character Roceres, is devilish and sometimes frightening to the point of feeling real chills. The wooden box's contents keep you reading…
The Manipulator
The first few chapters of the story are great, but then the book takes a disastrous turn and it just continues to go downhill from there. You see the title creature is supposedly some kind of evil entity that can take control of creatures to have it do its bidding. Focusing on one creature, great idea, but having different ones (including a swarm of flies and a witch) in different places just doesn't work. Its like the author had a few different ideas for a monster story and decided to just…

Based on the journals of serial killer William Allen Grone, The Great American Snuff Film depicts a series of events involving the kidnapping, torture, and eventual snuff film murders of two young women in 1995.

This movie is one hour and twenty-two minutes long and was released on May 11, 1955. This is the second installment of the three Creature films. It is just as good as the first one.
