Netflix Spins a New Hit with Monster series
Netflix subscribers have come a long way. Long ago we waited for our DVD to arrive in the mail to watch the latest flick. Then RedBox took over the new movies on DVD point of interest, and Netflix evolved into a subscription channel for anyone who could download the app or add the channel to their cable package. While some Netflix subscribers who are into Horror and Fantasy shows may still be patiently awaiting another season of "The Witcher" or "Stranger Things" (like me) we've had to find other shows to get on with, and I found the Monster series on Netflix an acceptable replacement along with "Wednesday" (the girl from the Addams family) which only aired 16 episodes at 2 seasons. Fans into Goth Theater like this kind of stuff, and Halloween lovers tend to enjoy the Horror Genre. It seems that Netflix is carving out a niche in the Horror and Fantasy genres by serving their subscribers a buffet of spooky entertainment. I'm satisfied, and applaud the Netflix Big Dogs for switching to Fan Servitude over stuff like "13 Reasons Why" which was simply too controversial.

Vertigo is a Murder Mystery that is One of Alfred Hitchcock's Best Films
After being introduce to the thriller world of Alfred Hitchcock, I knew that I had to keep watching more of his films this October. These stories hold a sort of horror feel to them, and the stories are so entertaining to watch. I keep finding myself trying to guess the twist, but I always end up shocked and mad, realizing that I can't predict Hitchcock's films.

The Funhouse (1981): How Dean Koontz and Tobe Hooper Told Two Very Different Carnival Nightmares
Two siblings of the same horror story Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse (1981) and the paperback novel published one year earlier under the pseudonym Owen West (later revealed to be Dean Koontz) are linked by title, setting, and a carnival of terrors—but they are not mirror images. The novel and the film share DNA, yet they grow into two very different beasts.

The Love Witch Follows the Story of a Witch Desperate for Love. Top Story - October 2025.
The Love Witch is one of my favorite horror films ever made. It's crazy how the film came out in 2016, because it straight up looks like the film was released in the 70s. It even has bad acting on purpose, because the director wanted the capture the vibe of an old school horror film.

The Hollow Man is an Entertaining and Scary Sci - Fi Tale of a Man Wanting Power
I finally got to watch the Hollow Man, and I cannot believe that critics bashed this movie so badly. In my personal opinion, this movie deserves a huge cult following, all because of the main villain in this film. His character sells the plot, and makes the horror concept of becoming invisible so terrifying to think about.

The Evil Dead is a Body Horror Inducing Nightmare of Pure Terror
While I think the sequel is the best Evil Dead film in the franchise, I think the first one is the second most tragic film in the franchise. Even though it's the most serious film in the series, it's still an entertaining dark ride that will leave you disturbed and disgusted.

Last Shift is an Underrated Horror Film That Deserves More Recognition
I finally got to watch this film in the month of October, and I was not expecting to feel so creeped out by the end of the movie. It's a creative masterpiece that is so overlooked. I can't believe this movie is barely even talked about.

Peeping Tom is the First Slasher Horror Movie Brought to the Big Screen
While I was thinking about Companion, a horror Sci — Fi movie that reminded me of a slasher, I started to wonder when the first slasher horror movie was released. I decided to search it up online, and I freaked out when I saw this particular slasher was available on Tubi to watch for free.

Night of the Blood Beast
I’m going to preface this by saying there’s one genuinely cool scene in this otherwise 67 minutes of dreck that sticks in the brain. Astronaut John Corcoran, recently back from the dead, is asked what else the team should be aware of. He replies something along the lines of, “…and this.” The camera pans from his face to the door at his right shoulder. And in stalks THE BLOOD BEAST.

Rear Window is a Slow Burn Thriller that Will Fill You With Fear
I have been constantly told by many horror fans on social media, that I should check out an Alfred Hitchcock film called Rear Window. I was finally able to watch the film when I realized that the film was added to Shudder for the month of October. I thought watching this movie was the perfect time to check it out, because I needed a major distraction.
