By Melissa Antoinette Garza SATAN’S SLAVE (1976) is all sorts of 1970sBritish satanic cult sexiness. I love this horror style.

The Craft (1996) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When THE CRAFT came out in 1996, I saw it in the theater with three other people, who loved it. I liked it. It’s silly. It’s fun. I think it was far more influential on THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 (1999) than the original CARRIE (1976) ever […]

Invitation to Hell (1982) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I had never even heard of this film before. I found it on a fan list of British Sleaze movies and coincidentally it was uploaded to YOUTUBE. INVITATION TO HELL (1982) was released straight to video as a double feature with another production called […]
Legacy of Satan (1974) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Satanic cults of the 1970s film variety are all camp and craze. I love them. LEGACY OF SATAN (1974) opens during a black mass where a High Priestess (Deborah Horlen) conducts an insane ceremony. A woman is changed on an upside down pentagram in a […]
MARK OF THE WITCH (1970) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza After watching women vampires destroy toxic masculinity in THE BLOOD SPATTERED WIFE (1972) I’m still in the mood for some hardcore, punk rock dames to play rough with the boys. Sadly, my attempt has failed and I’ve ended up with a very tame and timid […]
The Pyx (1973) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Movies about devil worshiping cults always interest me. When you delve into those within the sub-genre that were made in the 1970s, you’re nearly guaranteed a good flick. THE PYX (1973) begins when a man calls the police after seeing drug addicted prostitute, […]
House of Whipcord (1974) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When updating the website, I realized that I haven’t reviewed too many of Pete Walker’s movies. He’s a favorite of mine. Sometimes, I get so hung up watching my guilty afternoon pleasures, reviewing them is the furthest from my mind. I had such a […]
Dr. Tarr’s Torture Dungeon (1973) – Sexploitation Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Kudos to AMAZON PRIME for it’s selection of 1970s grindhouse, sexploitation films. DR.

CHILDREN SHOULDN’T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS (1972) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza While updating the website, I was shocked to see that I never personally reviewed CHILDREN SHOULDN’T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS (1972). I should have done this years ago, but now, that I have a MELISSA’S OBSESSIONS category to put it in, it would be a […]
UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB (2018) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I was one of the few who didn’t hate the original UNFRIENDED (2014). Well, maybe there was more than just a few as we did end up with a sequel; but pretty much everything gets a follow-up nowadays. The production opens when Matias (Colin […]
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) – Horror Musical Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW isn’t just a movie. It’s not just a musical or a play. It’s an experience of a lifetime. There is nothing quite like it. It’s perfection. I remember the first time I watched it, I was 12 years old. It […]
