Carnival of Souls, (1962) is one of those B movies everyone makes fun of, but can’t help watching. If you decide to watch this film, just imagine you are seeing an extended episode of the “The Twilight Zone.” I remember when I was a little girl seeing this movie, it haunted me for days. Although the movie was done on a shoestring, it is scary, and director,  Herk Harvey does a fine job with it. The movie opens up with a group...

The second horror movie I recommend you see is the silent horror movie, “Nosferatu.” Although it was done back in 1922, it is still gripping. Out of all the vampire movies I’ve  seen, I find this one to be the scariest. The movie takes place in an eerie and sleepy town in Germany. The story is based on Bram Stoker’s novel, “Dracula.” There were some copyright issues and so a lot of the names of...

Halloween is coming and I’d like to feature one or two movies per week this month of must see horror classics. I have a lot I love, but certain ones stand out in the crowd, and in my opinion you must see them. Today’s horror flicks are full of awful violence, f-bombs, and sex, but no substance whatsoever.

A beautiful Italian woman Lisa, played by Sohia Loren, marries an American man, Robert (Anthony Perkins) and they live in France. The American Lisa has married is not the prince in shining armor as she thought. He is however, a domineering and insanely jealous man, a recipe...

Two aging former actresses live in a decaying “mansion” in Hollywood.  One is paralyzed and the other is demented and thinks she is the child star she once was, “Baby Jane Hudson.” Jane Hudson, played terrifically by Bette Davis, takes care of her sister Blanche played by Joan Crawford. Just the fact that these two nemeses worked together in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)  is amazing. How director Robert...

The Honeymoon killers, (1970) a film done in docudrama form is chilling, disturbing, unique, and unforgettable. I wanted to say funny, but I really can’t because the story is true. But you can’t help finding dark comedy in this horrible story. The story is of a couple who were serial killers back in the 40’s known as the “The Lonely Heart Killers.” Martha Beck (Shirley Stoler) an obese nurse from Alabama and a Spanish immigrant,...
