The Mist, a review by Jon

The Mist
5 out of 5



After a devastating storm, David (Thomas Jane) takes his son Billy to town for supplies. It seems like a big cross-section of the locals have had the same idea. Soon a mysterious mist gathers around the supermarket and they become trapped by whatever is hiding in it, and by their own paranoia.not quitetoo

Creature With the Atom Brain, a review by Danae Cassandra

Creature With the Atom Brain
Year of Release: 1955
Directed By: Edward L. Cahn
Starring: Richard Denning, Angela Stevens, S. John Launer, Michael Granger
Genre: Science-Fiction, Horror

Overview:
From the pen of the legendary Curt Siodmak (The Wolf Man, ) and director Edward L. Cahn (It! The Terror From Beyond Space) comes this smash-bang thriller starring Richard Denning (Creature From The Black LagoonMy Thoughts:
For all its lurid title, this is a surprisingly watchable B-movie. Yes, the premise is ludicrous, but what 1955 sci-fi B-movie's isn't? This is definitely more sci-fi than horror, even with the presence of zombies animated by a mad ex-Nazi scientist. I expect, if I was drunk, I would laugh at how earnestly upstanding Richard Denning plays his police doctor, or how very 50's era sexist his relationship with his wife is. If I didn't know better, I'd think the script writer contributed to The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. Recommended only if you enjoy 50's B-movies; in which case you'll enjoy this.

Watched For:  Scavenger Hunt 19, Horror/Halloween Challenge 2016

South Park
2.13 Elementary School Musical

After watching the High School Musical trilogy over the last few days, I thought I would conclude it with the South Park parody. It's fun to watch. It makes fun of the hype around the trilogy and of the movies themselves.
