If that’s not enough to send you to the streaming services, how about if we told you that it was indeed shot entirely underwater, with 100% practical effects? We really enjoyed this French flick that managed to wring some novelty out of a well-worn genre.
Lake Placid may not be the best movie in the world, but actually it’s not too bad, and we’re lucky that it happens to include one of the incomparable Betty White’s most memorable performances on the silver screen. Enjoy our tribute episode to the world’s favorite golden girl.
Our final entry of our Horror Anthology Theme Month is a real ride, absolutely packed with 80’s stars and three fun stories.
We go waaaaay back for the third entry in our month of horror anthology films. Dead of Night is the granddaddy of them all – one of the first ever. It’s not likely to scare you to death, but there’s a lot to enjoy in here, particularly the creepiest story of them all involving a malevolent ventriloquist dummy.
This Amicus production was the first to use the EC Comics license, which kicked off a property that is still popular today in one form or another. With five twisty tales and a wraparound story featuring a more subdued Cryptkeeper than we’re used to, its success spawned a sequel and inspired the Stephen King/George Romero projects, Creepshow and Creepshow 2.
Arachnophobia a family-friendly fun and creepy horror film filled with stars. Thanks to Rob for requesting this forgotten gem and giving us a chance to talk about it!
