The Letter has some nice Maggie (Janine Turner) stuff. It was written by Meredith Stiehm and debuted on 10 October, 1994. A letter she wrote at fifteen is finally opened, and she finds herself haunted (literally) by her past, and the life choices she thought she would have versus what she does have. There are…

Stargate SG-1 (1999) – Deadman Switch, and Demons
SG-1 finds themselves captured by a bounty hunter, Aris Boch (Sam J. Jones!) in Deadman Switch. Written by Robert C. Cooper, this episode was first broadcast on 6 August, 1999. It seems O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), Carter (Amanda Tapping), Teal’c (Christopher Judge) and Daniel (Michael Shanks) have a price on their heads from causing so…
The Pope’s Exorcist (2023) – Julius Avery
For something that claims to be based on the actual documented cases of the Chief Exorcist of the Vatican, Father Gabriele Amorth, one would expect something smarter, scarier, and perhaps not as trope-ridden as what viewers are given with The Pope’s Exorcist. The film gives us Russell Crowe as Amorth, not quite chewing scenery, but…
The Devil’s Rain (1975) – Robert Fuest
Sometimes bad is bad, and the next film in DK Canada’s hugely enjoyable Monsters in the Movies, is really bad. In fact despite the star power of the film, the only real reason it should be celebrated is for the fact that it led to a series of William Shatner face masks, one of which…
Seven Footprints to Satan (1929) – Benjamin Christensen
I move into a new chapter in DK Canada’s Monsters in the Movies, The Devil’s Work, so I bet this section is going to be a lot of fun! The first film in the chapter that I hadn’t previously watched is a silent film called Seven Footprints to Satan, it’s kind of dark, and kind…
Jaws of Satan (1981) – Bob Claver
Dean Cundey (!?)serves as DOP in this film that stars Fritz Weaver, and Gretchen Corbett, and a very young Christina Applegate, that has a very fun and unbelievable plot, as I delver deeper into DK Canada’s Monsters in the Movies, and settle in for Jaws of Satan, aka King Cobra. In a small town, where…
Paprebacks From Hell (2017) – Grady Hendrix
Grady Hendrix wowed and delighted me with his nostalgia, and horror filled, My Best Friend’s Exorcism, and I’m always on the look out for the other books he’s written. So when I came across his non-fiction book, Paperbacks From Hell, documenting the paperback horror novels of the 70s and 80s, I had to grab it…
Twins of Evil (1971) -John Hough
Hammer Films last film in the Karnstein trilogy, Twins of Evil, is the next film to sink my fangs into as I continue to explore John Landis’ Monsters in the Movies from DK Canada. Boasting the casting of twin Playboy playmates, Mary and Madeleine Collinson as well as a fantastic performance by Peter Cushing the…
Superman: Miracle Monday (1981) – Elliot S. Maggin
Superman has always been a hero of mine, and when Christopher Reeve brought the character to the big screen back in 1978, I was a fan for life. At that age, I was completely enchanted by the first film, and it’s follow up in 1980, Superman II. I had the Superman: The Movie Book, I…
South Park: The Complete Tenth Season
The tenth season of Comedy Central’s South Park from Paramount Pictures was on my watch list this week, and I was delighted to find that the laughs and the satire continued through all fourteen episodes. Series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone prove they are still at the top of their game as the young…
