Dracula in Instanbul
Not a turkey but from Turkey. Snappy title, no? Dracula in Istanbul is a 1953 Turkish production that is stark, grainy, lost, and has that air of being more a museum piece curiosity than an actual piece geared toward entertainment. But, alas, it's not a bad picture, if a dated one.

French Horror Has Me Entranced
I’ve come over all Gallic recently. For some time now, French horror seems to be leading the way when it comes to taking risks, courting controversy, while delivering some outstanding shocks and lingering torment!

I'm Sad We Will Never Get a Rated - R Jurassic Park
I recently started reading the Jurassic Park book, that I had no idea existed. I only read a couple of chapters, and now I'm so sad that we are never going to get a Rated - R Jurassic Park. The book starts off so strong, and I couldn't believe how violent these deaths were.

Horror in the High Desert 4: Majesty - A Frustrating Experience
My review of the first three films in the series can be found here. *** I'm officially frustrated. The long-awaited fourth and penultimate film in the Horror in the High Desert series, Majesty, adds little to pique interest in the overall lore. Instead, it becomes more tangled, adding more characters and lore that muddy the water even more instead of clarifying it. I defended the first three movies with the caveat that the last two movies needed to pick up the pace.

The Bug Attack from King Kong (2005) Will Traumatize Me Forever
I'm one of those horror fans who is a massive fan of the Monsterverse of Godzilla and King Kong. I have watched so many of these films already, and really enjoyed how brutal these beasts can be, going after anyone that would dare to mess with them.

My Apartment Building Only Has 10 Floors. The Elevator Just Stopped At Floor 11.
My Apartment Building Only Has 10 Floors. The Elevator Just Stopped At Floor 11. I’ve lived in the "Eclipse Towers" for five years. It’s a standard, boring concrete block in the city center. Ten floors. Four apartments per floor. I live on the 8th. I know every crack in the sidewalk and every stain on the carpet.
