I’m a huge fan of anything Frankenstein-related. Whether it’s the old Universal films, the not-quite-as-old (but still pretty old) Hammer movies, or newer reimaginings like The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster, I’m always down to watch a film inspired by Mary Shelley’s classic novel. So naturally, when I first heard about Lisa Frankenstein, the…

I have to be honest. When I first heard there was a movie called The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster, I scoffed at it. I thought the title sounded pretty silly, so I didn’t think the film would be any good. Then something unexpected happened. I sat down to watch it, and I was…

If there’s one horror trope I can’t get enough of, it’s a The Wicker Man-esque story about a person traveling to a remote village and slowly discovering that the locals there harbor a deadly secret. I’m not entirely sure why, but that concept just fascinates me to no end, so when I first heard about…

We horror fans have a bit of a love/hate relationship with werewolf movies. On the one hand, werewolves are one of the most recognizable monster species in the genre, and they’ve been a horror staple ever since the heyday of the Universal monsters. But despite that pedigree, even the most hardcore fanatics would be hard-pressed…

Welcome to 2024. It’s bleak and cold, about as February as February gets, and the year is already equipped to unsettle us with election primaries right around the corner. To fight the inundation of pundit soundbites and attack ads, I had been diving into the deep end of festive films during my holiday break. I…

I love vampires. Other than kaiju, they’re my favorite movie monsters of all time, and whenever I hear about a new vampire film, I always need to check it out. I particularly enjoy novel twists on vampire mythology and unique stories we haven’t seen before, so naturally, Alice and the Vampire Queen caught my attention…

Blacula isn’t a scary movie. I just thought it’d be best to get that out in the open before I go any further. Blacula won’t have you hiding behind any sofa cushions, nor will it have you jumping out of your skin in fright, unless you’re about 12 years old. Blacula might be classed as…

Recently I had the pleasure to sit down with Horror Archives staff members Bronson West, Sean Parker, Brendan Jesus, Robert Chipman and Justin Drabek to discuss the Friday the 13th franchise. This was a really fun, in-depth conversation where we talked about the best and worst films from the series, kills, how it compares to…

2023 was kind of a weird year for movies. If you only go out to see the big blockbusters, you might’ve been disappointed with 2023’s slate. Sure, there were some real winners last year, but a seemingly disproportionate number of highly anticipated titles failed to win audiences over. It was a pretty big bummer, but…

I went into The Seeding almost completely blind. All I knew was that the film had a folk horror vibe, and that was enough for me. Something about folk horror fascinates me, and whenever I hear about a new movie in this subgenre, I have to check it out. Naturally, when I first heard about…
