By Melissa Antoinette Garza RING OF DARKNESS (1979) also known as SATAN’S WIFE is a trippy 1979 low-budget Italian sexploitation that is equal parts hilarious and odd. It’s a bit like THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK (1987) on crack. It follows a group of women who when much younger gave […]

Rosemary’s Baby (1968) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza In the past, I’ve shied away from reviewing ROSEMARY’S BABY (1968) despite it being one of my favorite films. As a woman and a human being, Roman Polanski is not my favorite person. Rather than getting on an unpleasant soapbox, I’ll simply note that sometimes very […]
Twins of Evil (1971) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I just checked the clock and realized it’s Hammer time, and by that of course I mean time for me to review another sensational HAMMER STUDIOS title from the 70s. TWINS OF EVIL (1971) is a UK vampire/witch hybrid that begins when a bunch of […]
Satan’s Children (1975) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza SATAN’S CHILDREN (1975) is like I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (1972) was mixed with SATAN’S SLAVE (1976), but with a male lead who doubles as both a protagonist and antagonist. Bobby (Stephen White) is tortured, bullied and abused everywhere he goes. His stepsister Janis (Joyce […]
Full Moon of the Virgins (1973) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza FULL MOON OF THE VIRGINS (1973) or THE DEVIL’S WEDDING NIGHT as it is also known is a great piece of Italian horror sexploitation directed by Luigi Batzella and the late great (but uncredited) Joe D’Amato. The film shows a flash of a woman in […]
Psychomania (1973) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza A kind and pleasant Twitter pal reminded me of this movie after I reviewed VIRGIN WITCH (1972) as both films have Ann Michelle in them. I hadn’t reviewed PSYCHOMANIA yet, so here goes that. Admittedly, I’m not big into bikers at all. Unless there’s a […]
The Stepford Wives (1975) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The fact that this movie only has a 6.9 on IMDB infuriates me. This is one of the greatest films of all time! It’s a brilliant flick that celebrates feminism while examining the horrific notion of all advances being stomped away by an insane and […]
THE BEYOND (1981) Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza THE BEYOND (1981) is one of the rare films that still freak me out. I’ll watch it tonight because the hubby is home. If I was alone, I would not be venturing into this territory. This, Bob Clark’s BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974) and Lamberto Bava’s DEMONS […]
Lisa and the Devil (1974) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Some say Telly Savalas portrays the devil in this film. I contend he portrays Telly Savalas in it. Moreso, I contend he always plays Telly Savalas and he’s awesome at it. Lisa Reiner (Elke Sommer) is hanging outside listening to a tour guide talk about […]
Requiem For a Vampire (1971) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I miss when vampire movies were done right! When I drown myself in the 70s, I know I’m getting lots of sex, gore and insanity brought to me by the most kick-ass femme fatale leads of all time. Virgins (yep, go with it) Marie (Marie-Pierre […]
Thirst (1979) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Do I want to go down under with some Aussie vampire doctors? Stamp my boarding pass, I am ready for travel. Mrs. Barker (Shirley Cameron) and Dr. Gauss (Henry Silva) open the show as employees in a dimly lit hospital where a patient is going crazy. […]
Virgin Witch (1972) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza There’s nothing quite better than British sexploitation of the 1970s. VIRGIN WITCH (1972) shines as a superb example of creepy erotica done right. The films opens with Christine (Ann Michelle) and Betty (Vicki Michelle) looking for work. Christine is brought in by agent Sybil […]
