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:

Practical Magic 2 – Appetizer review
The first question is – Is this as good as the original? Personally, I hate that question. The original came out 30 years ago and many remember it fondly through the portal of faulty memory over time. So, let me say, I think its a good movie. I had fun watching it. it was great…

Side Dish 13 – Frankenstein
Overview If you’re going to talk about original horror movies, why not use one of the original horror stories? Frankenstein was not only one of the first horror, it was one of Edison’s and considered too shocking for most people. It is a black and white silent and and is only 12 minutes long. So…

The Rage: Carrie 2 – Appetizer Review
A sequel to the 1976 film. Some loose connections. Typical sequel stuff to try and tie things together. Basically the same story trying to be modernized. Acceptable as far as it goes, but skippable if you’ve seen the original.

The tension rises with each…
