Joe Dante appears on the 101 Horror Movies, not with Gremlins, not with Piranha, but with his werewolf tale, The Howling. This is just a fun film, as most of Dante’s films tend to be. It’s also filled with inside jokes and cameos. If you watch the background, and book titles, and pictures on the…

Dressed To Kill (1980)
Brian DePalma returns to the 101 Horror Movies list, but I have to say, this one isn’t so much of a horror as it is an erotic thriller. Emphasis on erotic. In the opening scene, Angie Dickinson, as Kate Miller, completely changed the world’s perception of her as the straitlaced character she played in Police Woman…
Le Voyage Dans La Lune (1902)
That special certain someone who picked me up the 101 Horror Movies to See Before You Die has done it again. This time she gave me 101 Sci-Fi movies to see before you die. Now, while I haven’t finished the horror movies yet, I thought it would be fun to mix it up a bit,…
Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
Hailed as the film banned in the most countries, Cannibal Holocaust is not for the meek. It usually takes a lot to offend or bother me, and this one did. So be warned, if you decide to settle in for this one – you shouldn’t watch this during dinner, and it’s very visual in it’s…
Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht (1979)
The Dracula story is revisited again on the 101 Horror Movies To See Before You Die. This time, famed German director Werner Herzog retells the tale, using the template provided by F.W. Murnau’s version of the story from 1922 and Bram Stoker’s original novel. Taken over the creepy role, in make-up similar to that of…
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Romero finds his way onto the 101 Horror Movies again with the follow-up to the classic Night of the Living Dead with Dawn of the Dead. First off, let me get this out of the way. I liked it. I also like the remake. I did, however, find that the film itself, the 139 minute…
The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
Wes Craven returns to the 101 Horror Movies list with his 1977 classic, The Hills Have Eyes. The film originally received an X-rating, but Craven made a couple of additional cuts to make it a hard R. There was a remake not so long ago, and for the most part, I remember it being fairly…
Eraserhead (1977)
After a quick break, we’re back into the 101 Horror Movies, and today, I’m revisiting David Lynch’s first film… Eraserhead (which was shot over 5 years!!) I’ve seen this film 4 or 5 times now, and like everyone else, I couldn’t tell you what to make of it. It’s surrealist, and I think everyone…
Suspiria (1977)
So Dario Argento finds his way onto the 101 Horror Movies list again with what is called his masterpiece, Suspiria. The story is fairly simple and the murders are just as bloody as they were in Profondo Rosso. A young American, Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper) arrives at the Freiburg academy, which specializes in dance. However…
Carrie (1976)
Brian DePalma’s classic from 1976 finds its way onto the 101 Horror Movies and I was more than happy to revisit it. I watched it a long time ago when I was a teenager going through my Stephen King phase, which every teen seems to go through (Salem’s Lot is still my favorite King book)….
