Horror Movies – Page 2 – The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast

Not to be confused with “Funky Town”.

Gas up the 1967 Chevy Impala, because Phantom Town (also known as Spooky Town) is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the VHS box cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell: As far as low budget, “Weird West” children’s films about a suburban family succumbing to the depredations of an unspeakable Lovecraftian eldritch horror go, Phantom Town isn’t bad. Okay, it’s actually pretty bad, but its bizarre premise alone makes it worth watching at least once.

SHOW NOTES:

Here is a link to Erin Finnegan’s Puppet VR Murder Mystery Kickstarter Project. Good luck, Erin!

And here is what the cover of the 2013 DVD released by Moonbeam Entertainment looks like. Too spooky!

Don’t Let it Get Your Goat.

Beware of women, witchcraft, and the wilderness, because The Witch (2015) is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film featuring Zac Bertschy of Anime News Network and Kristina ‘ChibiUFO’ Foster.

Review in a Nutshell: A grim, challenging film of pain-staking period detail and exquisite composition, The Witch (2015) is an atypical, intelligent horror tale with strong feminist themes and disturbing religious subtext.

“Ever work tha pickah?”

Break out the fire hoses, because Graveyard Shift is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Saint Mort of The Saint Mort Show and Horror Movie Night Podcast, both available via Geekscape.net.

Review in a Nutshell: A fun little “creature feature” that completely flies apart in the third act, Graveyard Shift nevertheless has excellent production value, good special effects, and charming performances from a strong cast of character actors.

“Spooooky Wheelchair”

Beware of angry poltergeists, because The Changeling (1980) is the Greatest Movie EVER.

Click on the movie title or the poster above to download our review of the film, featuring “Celebrity Translator” Neil Nadelman.

Review in a Nutshell: The Changeling (1980) is a beautifully shot, gorgeously edited, low-key, suspenseful film that is part ghost story and part detective story. Although the final act stumbles a bit after all of the mysteries are revealed, it’s still interesting as a well-made, atypical horror movie.

ERRATA: I accidentally referred to House on Haunted Hill as 13 Ghosts. Mea culpa.

Stealth Polar Bear is Stealthy.

Strap on your snow shoes, because The Frankenstein Theory is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Katherin the Great.

Review in a Nutshell: A fairly typical found-footage horror film saddled with a particularly improbable premise, The Frankenstein Theory plays more like a tourist advertisement for beautiful Alaskan scenery than a suspenseful melodrama. I enjoyed Kris Lemche as the resident mad scientist, though.

Dead Teenagers. IN SPACE!

Sharpen up your machete, because Jason X is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Thomas Pandich of Skin Crawling Comics.

Review in a Nutshell: It’s Jason. In Space. `Nuff said.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOY!”

Break out the impromptu guitar jam sessions, because Phantasm is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Tom Pandich of Tomics! by Tom!!! and the Alter Ego’s podcast.

Review in a Nutshell: Phantasm is a shining example of that rarest breed of horror film – the horror movie that functions on a symbolic level. Strange, dream-like, and surreal, it’s a movie that constantly challenges the viewers’ expectations.

FINAL THOUGHT:

Owie!

Thing-Moth-Blob-Dog-Peter-O’TOOOOOOOOLE

Get ready to fire all your ammunition at that scary moth,

because Phantoms is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Dave and Joel from Fast Karate for the Gentleman.

Review in a Nutshell: This movie is entirely forgettable. Dean Koontz’s writing causes temporary amnesia. Wait, what were we talking about again? Who are you people? What is this place?

Also, be sure to check out Paul’s work on Skin Crawling Comics. The IndieGoGo campaign can be found HERE.

Puppies, Kittens, and Lovely Spring Rainbows

Hold onto your skin, because Hellraiser is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Max Dunn and Tom Pandich.

Review in a Nutshell: A dark, gruesome film that explores twisted romance and strange, sado-masochistic themes, Hellraiser spawned eight sequels and introduced one of America’s iconic horror figures, Pinhead, the high priest of the Cenobites. This is not the sort of film that is likely to endear you to your significant other, unless your significant other is Clive Barker.

Revenge of the Worm Scene, Part Deux

Get ready to face your fears, because Galaxy of Terror is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Katherin the Great.

Review in a Nutshell: A sometimes trashy, sometimes gruesome science fiction / horror movie with great production design and a well-rounded cast of character actors, Galaxy of Terror is half Alien rip-off and half homage to 1950s films like Forbidden Planet. Watch it if you dare.
