Welcome to our first side dish – a quick talk about a great public domain horror movie. In fact, this one is the first recognized horror movie – House of the Devil from Georges Méliès. While it’s short – 3 minutes – its fascinating to see this put together and be a horror movie (loosely defined).
You can check it out and watch this classic:

The Long Walk – Appetizer review
Another Stephen King adaptation, and this one is good. shows his ability to take a fairly static situation and get you completely focused on the characters. And its done well. No, it’s not a supernatural scare fest – it’s a study of the human character, which is what all of his stuff is. If you…

28 Years Later – Appetizer review
This is a great series, and the final one is still high quality. And best, the movies aren’t rehash of each other. Each one is different and shows the apocalypse not only from different viewpoints but different times. makes each movie unique while biluding on the previous. And Bone Temple is supposed to be this…

Side Dish 11 – Night of the Demon
Overview Classic black and white with a kaiju like demon. One of those with different versions for American and British audience, because we can’t handle it I guess. You might be surprised at how good this movie looks and that it hasn’t been remade. We were surprised by that also. It is a great one…

S06E06 – Amer
Overview What the hell is wrong with us! The very first episode of this podcast (well, the first movie we watched) was a movie so screwed up, we questioned our own humanity. And then there’s this gem – Amer. I vote it to be the weirdest one we’ve watched yet. Do you agree? Check it…

Out of the Dark – Appetizer Review
Based on local stories of true happenings but adding a modern twist to them. Kind of a folk horror feel to it, a little mystery. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2872724 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_the_Dark_(2014_film) Amazon – https://amzn.to/4d9nxt1

Easter Bunny Kill Kill – Appetizer
Starting to run out of Christmas horror, so let’s try some Easter horror. I have a couple to choose from, but this had the best reviews. They use a mentally disabled boy to believe in the Easter Bunny, but it doesn’t come off well, it’s not consistent and the acting is all over. The extreme…

The Town that Dreaded Sundown
this is an interesting 2 movie series. The first was made in the early 70’s but set in the mid-’40’s. It’s partly a documentary because it was based on true events. They way it was filmed reminded me of the Legend of Boggy Creek. the 2nd movie is more modern and is a continuation of…

Rumplestiltskin (2025) – Appetizer review
Kinda slow, took forever to build up. They changed the story a bit, but too much unbelieving in people’s reactions. And the ending isn’t a cliffhanger, it just kinda wasn’t great. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35451787 https://amzn.to/4tf2ZWo

The Lurking Fear – Appetizer review
Some creatures haunting a town for 20 years. And tonight they’re gonna do something about it. The story is a bit of a mess all over. just didn’t coalesce for me. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110410 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurking_Fear_(film) Amazon – https://amzn.to/4usaaei
