What does Leslie Nielsen, Jamie Lee Curtis, a wife of Michael Crichton, and child death have in common? That’s right, you guessed it! All of those are in the film Prom Night (1980). Written by William Gray and Robert Guza Jr. and directed by Paul Lynch, Prom Night is exactly what you might figure a horror film would be with that title.

  Plot: Some astronauts decide to check out a strange reading inside Haley’s Comet — turns out to be a big, weird space-ship with some dried up weirdos inside. Thirty days later, the astronauts’ rocket arrives back at earth…. empty and burned up, except for the…

'Aliens' Cast Talk About Their Challenges at the Days of the Dead Convention

On August 26, 2023, I found the time to attend the Days of The Dead convention which was held at the Hilton Hotel outside of LAX airport. The main highlight of the day for me was sitting in on the panel for “Aliens,” James Cameron’s classic film from the year 1986 which remains as exciting now as it was when first released. This brought many of the talent who worked in front of and behind the…

31 Days of Horror: Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

What a horrible way to spend two hours. Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) is the worst film in the franchise. Filled with stereotypical teenagers, horrible effects, a cheap Jason death, unexplainable logic, and much more than I care to explain. Basically, Jason gets awakened by electricity and rises from the depths of Crystal Lake. He kills two teenagers doing it on a…
