It's the 1980s in Hollywood. Adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break, starring in the horror film "Puritan II". However, a mysterious killer is taking out Hollywood starlets and others in her circle, and also threatens to reveal her sordid past.

The third movie in Ti West's "X" trilogy. It shows a strong influence of Italian giallo, as it's as much a crime thriller as well as horror. Another strong performance by Mia Goth as Maxine and Kevin Bacon plays a fine role as private investigator John Labat. Fans of 80s music will recognize the songs featured in the soundtrack. A strong finish to a solid trilogy.

An unnamed figure descends into a subterranean dystopia filled with tortured souls, twisted monstrosities, decrepit buildings, sinister machinery and other bizarre horrors on an undisclosed mission of sabotage.

Written, directed and produced as a labor of love by animator Phil Tippett, famous for his work in the "Star Wars" trilogy, "Robocop", and "Jurassic Park".

A visually stunning and experimental stop-motion film that's surreal, disturbing, bleak and darkly atmospheric.

There's no dialog and not even a true storyline. Tippett has said that the film is more of a collage than a narrative.

Definitely not for everyone, but worth watching if you're a fan of stop-motion.

For unknown reasons, the recently deceased start rising from the grave as zombies that hunger for human flesh. Seven people take refuge in an empty farmhouse to escape. Tensions rise among them while they try to survive.

A remake of George A. Romero's 1968's classic, rewritten by Romero himself. The directorial debut of Hollywood make-up artist Tom Savini, known for his work in horror films. Starring the late Tony Todd as Ben. Patricia Tallmann plays Barbera, who takes a much more active role than in the original.

A very good remake of a true classic of the horror genre. Available on Tubi USA.

Richard, Juliette, and their son Owen move back to the homestead of Richard's late and estranged father in the British countryside.

They awaken a dark and mysterious presence with roots in Britain's pre-Christian past.

A psychological British folk horror film. Heavy on atmosphere, mood and tension. A solid cast and the scenery of rural England make for an enjoyable watch.

In 11th century Sweden, a missionary and a troop of soldiers go missing in the remote northern forests.

A search party is assembled to rescue them. During the mission, they encounter an ancient evil of Nordic legends.

A folk horror-fantasy film with ties to Viking lore about the undead. Good cinematography, beautiful scenery and good effects. An enjoyable movie. Available on Tubi USA.

Just finished Honest Hearts. Hopefully I brought back enough cave fungus.

Oskar is a 12-year-old boy who lives in Stockholm with his mother. Introverted and bullied, he slowly develops a friendship with his new neighbor, a 12-year-old girl named Eli. As they grow closer, it soon becomes apparent that Eli is no ordinary girl.

One of my favorite vampire movies. The screenplay was written by Swedish horror author John Ajvide Lindqvist, an adaptation of his novel of the same name.

Two boys accidentally unleash a horde of demons from a mysterious hole in a backyard in a suburban neighborhood.

This movie is just pure fun. If you liked shows like "Goosebumps", "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", or "Tales from the Crypt", this is for you. Perfect for the horror fan who's still a kid at heart.

A disgraced puppeteer returns to his childhood home to confront his abusive uncle and deal with the secrets and troubles of his past. In the meantime, he's plagued by visions and dreams of his disturbing marionette Possum, a puppet he keeps trying to dispose of, only to have it come back.

A creepy, dark, and unsettling British horror movie. The scenes and settings seem almost dirty, which seems to fit the mood of this film. The puppet Possum is grimly effective and not overly exposed, which keeps it fresh.

A young man is assigned the post of weather observer on a desolate island on the edge of the Antarctic Circle for a one-year tour, with only a deranged and hostile lighthouse keeper for company. Not only must he survive his insane companion, paranoia, isolation, and the harsh conditions, he soon finds out that the lighthouse is attacked nightly by amphibious humanoid creatures.

A solid cast, a good plot, and decent effects make for an enjoyable monster and psychological horror film. I really enjoyed the sea creatures, as they made me think of the Deep Ones from the Cthuhulu mythos.

A team investigators is sent by the Vatican to a rural church in England to see if the reported strange phenomena can qualify as being a miracle. Skeptical at first, and mistrusted by the locals, they learn that they may have discovered something far darker and more ancient than they could have imagined.

Released in England as "The Borderlands". A tense and dark British folk horror film anchored by good acting.

>!It reminded me of a certain Stephen King short story, the title I'm not going to mention, for spoiler's sake!<

A small town is devastated by a deadly fungal epidemic that turns its hosts into mindless zombie-like creatures.

This is the linear story of how ten people react and interact with each other as they meet and try to survive.

I was expecting a typical low-budget zombie film but was pleasantly surprised. The storyline being done as a progression of people's interactions as they meet was a bit different. The story was a bit predictable, but the acting was solid, it had a dark atmosphere, and the special effects were gorily and grossly good.

Never thought I'd run into this guy again. Between Primm Pass and Ranger Station Charlie.

Five criminals rob a military payroll and hijack a plane, holding the pilot and his daughter as hostages. One of the criminals double -crosses his partners and parachutes out with the money. The rest of of the gang force the pilot to land in a field near an abandoned farm, not knowing of the horrors that await them.

This was so much better than I thought it would be. Smartly done, with tension and a sense of unease throughout. Just the right amount of scares and gore. It keeps things simple and doesn't overexplain. The cause and motives of the scarecrows is never looked into. They are just there as a mysterious force of evil. A very fun and enjoyable horror film.

A vacationing couple are cars jacked and kidnapped by an escaped convict and his addicted girlfriend. While at a gas station, they are trapped by the deadly hosts of a fungal parasite. They must find a way to work together if they want to survive.

A fast-paced horror thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously. The concept of a fungal parasite that gradually takes over its host instead of killing them outright works very well.

Lots of scares, some creepy special effects, some disturbing body horror, and characters who usually do smart things instead of making stupid decisions.

A strange meteor strikes a family farm. At first the family feels blessed by unexpected prosperity, only to find out it's poisoning the farms water supply and mutating everything that lives there.

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour out of Space " meets 80s B-horror schlock. What can go wrong? Unfortunately, they tried doing this as a straight horror film. It would have had so much more potential as a hillbilly horror-comedy. Still has its moments.

A mutated cat, a group of college kids on spring break, and a criminal Wall Street broker end up being stuck together on his yacht. Mayhem, chaos, and hilarity ensue.

This post is my belated tribute to International Cat Day. I laughed so hard watching this one. A must see just for the cat-monster. Movies like this are why I share them.

A government agent is assigned to investigate a series of mysterious deaths that could involve a government-sponsored research lab. He discovers that a mad scientist is using radiation- mutated bee serum to create an army of female beauties who seduce men to death.

Thanks to the contributor who recommended this on my Wasp Woman post. An entertaining exploitation flick that could only have been done in the early 70s.

Better than I thought it could "be". (I'll show myself out now.)

In a desperate attempt to regain her youth, the head of a major cosmetics company experiments on herself with a formula made from royal jelly extracted from wasps. The formula's side effects have deadly consequences.

More laughable than scary with low-budget effects and a ridiculous monster costume. Don't let the poster fool you, in the movie the monster has the body of a woman and the head of a wasp. Personally, I think that it would have been cooler and sexier the other way around, but that's just me.

Tubi Treasure Trivia: Scenes from "The Wasp Woman " are featured in the Courage the Cowardly Dog episode "Night of the Weremole".
