Month: July 2021

I know how you feel, lady. Mondays!

Yay, Friday! Amazon Prime has Pumpkinhead. Man, that's a good little film. And you know I love me my Lance Henriksen. One of Stan Winston's great designs, and one of the last monsters that's human-looking enough to promote at least some audience empathy. I love especially the way the movie captures a real folklore…

If you're looking for something legitimately spooky to watch on Amazon Prime, they currently offer a pretty good slate of Asian ghost movies, as well as often the American remakes thereof, including the surprisingly solid The Ring.

I've never actually watched this, and it surely seems unlikely we'll ever get a remastered version of this. By which I mean, I doubt there is a master print of this sitting around anyway. Looking at this, it kind of looks like a Larry Buchanan film written by Ed Wood. That might just be…
