This article was originally published on 12ftdwende.com on 30 April 2010. So a few weeks ago I mentioned that my favorite of the cinematic boogeymen is Freddy Krueger.

Talk Radio (1988) – This is the second of two films I saw in December based on a play by Eric Bogosian. Like subUrbia, the film was made by a director who I tend to be rather fond of (Richard Linklater for subUrbia, Oliver Stone for Talk Radio). Sadly both films I’ve found a little … Continue reading →

So Halloween is upon us and this year it occurred to me that I had only seen half of the Halloween films. I decided to rectify that this year. Halloween (1978) You know I kind of go back and forth on Halloween. I last saw it in 2009 and thought that while good it was … Continue reading →

Child’s Play (1988) – Let’s just start with the one reason this movie couldn’t NOT be scary: dolls are just fucking creepy, man. Child’s Play is a movie with some dark humor, but unlike some of the sequels that followed it is not a comedy.

Plus my usual OnDemand complaint of having the … Continue reading →
