    When the Trash Man Knocks

    "[When the Trash Man Knocks] indeed sticks closely to the blueprint, but a well-developed psychological element gives this homemade dish more flavor."

    Night of the Scarecrow

    Night of the Scarecrow doesn't get talked about a lot when discussing scarecrow horror, but that's because it's so hard to come by nowadays. Well, in honor of the late Jeff Burr, I discussed why I and others love this unsung '90s DTV slasher at Bloody Disgusting.

    Fear Street: 1978

    β˜…β˜…β˜…

    As we delve deeper into the Fier lore, 1978 outdoes 1994 as a whole. The core relationships are more impactful, the body count is higher, and the puzzle pieces start to fall into place.

    Cobweb

    "There is an unmistakable fairytale quality about Cobweb. The story is indeed set in modern times, but you can’t deny its almost mythical narrative. From Caplan and Starr’s wicked parent roles to the heroic Miss Devine swooping in to help a child locked up in the tower (well, a basement), Bodin and screenwriter Chris Thomas Devlin reconstitute bits and pieces from various Brothers Grimm classics. Interestingly, though, the director and writer don’t dwell on the obvious moral lesson here like many traditional fairytales. They instead emphasize as well as augment the overtly horrific parts of their movie."
