The Attack of the B-MoviesGhoulies 2Today James and I breakdown what should be a classic, Ghoulies 2. Building on the "evil/possesed creature" craze of the 80's and throws it in a traveling carnivals house of horrors. This Albert Band (father of Charles Band) directed horror comedy classic was written by Charlie Dolan and Dennis Paoli and was a solid follow up to the first. To be honest, starring Royal Dano and Damon Martin as, I think this is actually the better movie of the first two. So take a listen, then watch it and let us know what you think!
Oh and...

The Attack of the B-MoviesThe ThingPerhaps the greatest remake of all time, John Carpenter took the 1951 classic The Thing From Another World and upped the ante big time.

With great performances by Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley and Keith David this is a master class in how to remake a film. Enjoy!

The Attack of the B-MoviesEvent HorizonI've watched a lot of horror movies in my lifetime, but there are two locales for horror that actually give me the chills. Movies about the oceans depths and movies that are set in space. Being a Sci-Fi and horror fan Event Horizon was a no brainer for me to see. While not quite a B-Movie, I thought it fit with our usual fare well enough. It might not be Alien, but to me Philip Eisner and Paul W.S. Anderson delivered a hell of a film, Hell maybe Andersons best one. They had some help from Laurence Fishburne...
