Tribesmen (2012)
I’ve been obsessed with funky horror flicks for most of my life. Sneaking them on tv while my parents were oblivious, renting them whenever i could and watching them in the theater. About 8 years ago I discovered the Video Nasties list. It’s a list of 74 films banned by the British Film Board in [...]
Thou Shalt Not Kill…Except (1985)
Like many horror fans, I cut my teeth on the Evil Dead Trilogy. I was obsessed with the films and showed them to anyone I could. There’s something special about those flicks. Charismatic Bruce Campbell, the unique storyline, the mix of humor and gore, humor and horror. They’re just the perfect gateway into cult horror. [...]
Centipede Horror (1984)
In high school dvd was big and Circuit City and Best Buy had huge selections. They even carried cheap ass kung fu flicks that were at best grey market, at worst total bootlegs. I quickly learned that Gordon Liu was awesome and almost anything Shaw Brothers put out was gold. My appetite for kung fu [...]
Colony (1995)
Back here again with some more DIY horror. You’d think after The Basement release I would have gotten my fill, but no. I can’t seem to get enough of homegrown horror, and Colony certainly fits that bill. Seemingly shot in the late 80s/early 90s I have no idea of its true production date as there [...]
Necro Files (2011)
Any semi-regular reader of this site has heard me profess my love for Comet Press numerous times and look out cuz i’m gonna do it again. This time I’ve got a copy of their new anthology Necro Files: 20 Years of Extreme Horror. And extreme it is indeed. Being no stranger to extreme fiction, having [...]
The Return of the Living Dead Part II (1988)
I discovered The Return of the Living Dead via cable tv as kid if my memory serves me. I instantly loved it and still do to this day. It’s one of my favorite horror flicks and I watch it every year. I also distinctly remember renting Part II as a kid and being sorely dissappointed. [...]
Waxwork (1988)
As my favorite time of the year approached for this first time, I didn’t really feel like watching any horror. Lately I’ve just been burnt out and more interested in watching old action flicks. Blasphemy right? Well, yesterday was the first day in my favorite month and suddenly I got the itch to watch Waxwork. [...]
Necronos: Tower of Doom (2011)
I am a man that loves his gore and his DIY, as any normal reader of this site will attest to. When it comes to German gore flicks however, it always seems to be a mixed bag. Really over the top gore but usually not enough, matched with abysmal scripts and worse acting. Of course [...]
Things (1989)
Any regular reader of Toxic Graveyard will know how much we love DIY horror here. There’s something empowering and inspiring about seeing a group of people get together and make a film even if they don’t have the money or technical knowhow to do it. From Redneck Zombies, to The Basement, to Killing Spree, there’s [...]
Beyond the Dunwich Horror (2008)/Pretty DEAD Things (2006)
I was super excited to get this indie horror double set, especially after viewing the awesomely fun The Basement Collection, also put out by Camp Motion Pictures. The artwork promised gore and nudity and in my book, if you’ve got enough of both you can overcome any budgetary shortcomings. First up is Beyond the Dunwich [...]
