The Pit (1981)
Written by: Ian A. Stuart
Directed by: Lew Lehman
Cast: Sammy Snyders (Jamie), Jeannie Elias (Sandy O’Reilly), Sonja Smits (Mrs. Lynde), Laura Hollingsworth (Marg Livingstone), Laura Press (Mrs. Benjamin), Paul Grisham (Freddy), Wendy Schmidt (Christina), Andrea Swartz (Abergail), Richard Alden (Mr. Benjamin), Patrick Patterson (Butcher), Harris Kal (Trog), Alison McCuaig (Trog), Paul Martin (Trog), Tom Martin (Trog)
Every now and then, you may watch a film, old or new that rests magnificently on its own plane of unintentional weirdness. I think that adequately describes “The Pit” from 1981. It’s an evil muppet movie with the muppets being voracious carnivores, and the kid that interacts with them being a complete and total weirdo pervy creep. That being said, it’s one of the best films I’ve seen lately that flew a stealth mission through my horror radar as a kid. I...

Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning (1985)
Written by: Martin Kitrosser, David Cohen, Danny Steinmann
Directed by: Danny Steinmann
Cast: Shavar Ross (Reggie), Melanie Kinnaman (Pam), John Shepherd (Tommy Jarvis), Richard Young (Matt), Debisue Voorhees (Tina), John Robert Dixon (Eddie), Juliette Cummins (Robin), Jerry Pavlon (Jake), Dominick Brascia (Joey), Tiffany Helm (Violet), Mark Venturini (Vic), Miguel A. Nunez Jr. (Demon)
This film was the very first one that I wrote any kind review for on an online platform. That was the first brave step in my cause for championing this film. Albeit, it was a small step, because maybe two people probably stumbled across it. Either way, I did it and I’m not ashamed. Matter of fact, I’m taking it to the big show by including it here. All of my feelings for this bastard child of the series just happened to resurface...

Death Machine (1994)
Written by: Stephen Norrington
Directed by: Stephen Norrington
Cast: Ely Pouget (Hayden Cale), William Hopkins (John Carpenter), John Sharian (Sam Raimi), Martin McDougall (Yutani), Richard Brake (Scott Ridley), Brad Dourif (Jack Dante)
The early to mid-nineties were an interesting time in horror. To coin a very familiar phrase, “It was the best of times, and the worst of times.” I’ll go with the bad stuff first. Nothing much was happening at the popular theatres in the vein of any quality horror, but on the bright side, we did get some small theatrical release and direct to video gems on VHS. At this point VHS was an established format. The novelty had worn off, but all of these really unique movies that would have never been seen, found a home on the rental shelves. I’ve seen some great ones that still are personal favorites,...
