It’s day six of our 31 Days of Classic Horror feature and we’ve reached John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness (1987). In Prince of Darkness, a group of graduate students research an unusual cylinder hidden away in the basement of an abandoned church. That’s over-simplifying things a little but, trust me, if you haven’t seen it, you’ll appreciate […]

Dracula: Prince of Darkness is the sequel to Hammer Horror’s Dracula, which took place ten years before the opening of this film.

31 Days of Horror: The Thing from Another World (1951)
CATEGORY: aliens, classic movies, couch potato, film and tv, films, Hammer Horror, horror, movie, scary movies, sci fi
Okay, before we get around to why The Thing from Another World deserves to make this list, I have to mention that it’s one of the hardest ones to watch because of how badly dated it is. It’s very 1950’s aw-shucks-well-we’re-just-good-ole-boys and, of course, in black and white. You really have to have a love […]

Zombies are wildly popular right now, thanks to shows like The Walking Dead. Today’s movie is a zombie movie that isn’t quite a zombie movie. (Confused?

31 Days of Horror: Dracula (1931)
CATEGORY: classic movies, couch potato, dracula, film and tv, films, horror, movie, scary movies, vampires
There’s only one movie that can begin our 31 Days of Horror marathon and that movie is Dracula. I’m not saying that because I’m obsessed with vampires. (I am, of course, but that’s beside the point.) Universal’s Dracula is the horror movie. Let’s talk to Jay about why it made Castle Vanian’s 31 Days of […]
