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:

Ghost Story – Appetizer Review
Based on a book by Peter Straub, the movie has some great stars – including Fred Astaire and Douglas Fairbanks. Didn’t enjoy the book overly and the movie did nothing to make it better. Just didn’t draw me in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Story_(1981_film) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082449 Amazon – https://amzn.to/4oURtP4

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy – Appetizer Review
Not connected to any of the other Mummy movies. It’s a good movie with an interesting plot. I felt it was more like one of the Evil Dead movies. Worth seeing. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32612507 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Cronin%27s_The_Mummy Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/4f8a5HS

Weapons – Appetizer Review
Interesting movie. I might classify it more as a thriller told with horror elements. A mystery where we get the story doled out in vignettes from different characters perspectives and they keep adding, layering and meshing. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26581740 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_(2025_film) Amazon – https://amzn.to/4vaJEaf

Side Dish 12 – Faust
Overview Classic story and classic movie. This story has been redone multiple times – I mean, who doesn’t like movies with the devil – but this definitely the one to watch. It has fantastic effects for a silent film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0016847 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faust https://facebook.com/HorrorLasagna https://www.youtube.com/@horrorlasagna https://tiktok.com/@horrorlasagna Trailer Watch It YouTube Transcript Side Dish 12 – Faust …

S06 E07 – Goodnight Mommy
Overview Gotta ask – what is creepier? The cockroaches crawling over the woman’s face or the boy(s)? Did I mention creepy? Probably because much of this movie is creepy. And it keeps you guessing and wondering. If the definition of horror is to make one unsettled, this movie nailed it. https://facebook.com/HorrorLasagna https://youtube.com/@HorrorLasagna https://tiktok.com/@HorrorLasagna https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9000184 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodnight_Mommy…

Final Destination 5 – Appetizer Review
We know the story – same as the last 4. The only reason to watch this is the same reason to watch slasher movies – what gruesome deaths will they show. The ending twist was fun. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1622979 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Destination_5 Get it on Amazon – https://amzn.to/4vKFoOI

Jeepers Creepers Reborn – Appetizer Review
It was kind of a reboot of the series without pretending the other ones don’t exist. Different director. Just didn’t seem to have the impact of the others. not horrible but if this was the first one I saw, wouldn’t make me rush out to see the others. They made the creeper too much like…

Jeepers Creepers 3 – Appetizer Review
The 3rd one actually takes place between the first 2. It’s still not bad and as a trilogy I like them. This one isn’t as good as the other 2 but its better than a lot and better than most 3rd movies. It expands the mythology and the creeper looks awesome. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139592 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeepers_Creepers_3 Get it…

Backrooms – Appetizer Review
Interesting. It was a bit of modern Alice in Wonderland meets Cabin in the Woods. The starkness was spooky. Need to see it again as I’m not sure I grasped all of it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26657236 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backrooms_(film)

Ouija – Appetizer Review
Didn’t hold my interest. Seems to be trying to be hip, maybe like Final Destination. But the story just didn’t really hold together. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1204977 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouija_(2014_film) https://amzn.to/4dW9M1g
