Weird Movie Wednesday: Killer Klowns From Outer Space

Welcome weirdos to Weird Movie Wednesday. Today we are talking about my favorite movie of all time! Killer Klowns From Outer Space. I have loved this movie since childhood and have several memories connected to this film. Not to mention a slew of my own fan art including a mural on my old bedroom wall. I guess you could say I'm a fan. This once obscure film has gained major popularity in the horror community and all I can say is it's about time. This movie is a genuine work of art. Plus, this week was Killer Klowns 31st movie anniversary! So, let's talk about the story a little bit. Killer Klowns From Outer Space is about, well... Killer Klowns From Outer Space. On an ordinary night in a small college town, a shooting star is spotted by a couple of lovers at the make out point, top of the world. The two kids, looking for adventure decide to go and look for the star. What they find is a large circus tent, big and brightly lit. The two decide to go in a check it out. W

Weird Movie Wednesday: Squirm

Hello, horror fiends, and welcome to Weird Movie Wednesday. For those who noticed, I did not post anything this last Friday and with good reason; I moved. I'm not done moving either, but with my new surroundings I have been craving one movie and one movie only...Squirm. Squirm perfectly describes my new home. Let's talk about it. Squirm is a classic creature feature about a couple of kids, a small town, a thunderstorm and power outage, and worms. Blood worms. One night, in a small rural town in Georgia, a thunderstorm knocks out all the power. The next day, residents recoop from the storm and try to get back to life as normal. The movie centers over a small family, an elderly mother and her two grown(ish) daughters. Jerry, the eldest of the two daughters, is expecting a guest from out of town. A city boy, Mick from New York. With the buses having to turn around from the damage from the storm, Jerry takes her neighbors bait worm truck to drive through the woods to pick him

Weird Movie Wednesday: The Willies

  Happy Weird Movie Wednesday, kiddos! Hope we are all ready for some campfire tales. Lately, I have been surrounded by happy campers, people who are enjoying the sunshine and pleasant weather of the lake that I live on. All this merriment makes me think of one of my favorite horror anthologies, The Willies. It is a childhood favorite and a perfect movie for this time of year. So make you a s'more and let's get this one started. The Willies is about three boys who are sleeping out in a tent in their front yard. To alleviate the boredom of sitting out in an empty tent, they start telling campfire stories. They start small, sticking to local urban legends, then they head to the main event. A story so weird, you have to see it to believe it. The movie stars Sean Astin and the late James Karen and is just too good to miss. I thought I would retell each story for you, in my own words. They aren't very long and they should be just the thing to put you in the camping spi

FearStyle Friday: Happy Early Mother's Day!

Happy Early Mother's Day, Everyone! Hope everyone is having a lovely day celebrating mom or whoever the mother figure in your life is. Today, I have a special treat for you that you. I have been compiling a list of my 13 favorite mom's in horror movies. I even have my mom's stamp of approval. So, without further ado, here are those movie mama's. 13) A Nightmare on Elm St. (1984) We start off our list with Nancy Thompson's boozy mama, Marge. Desperate to keep their kids safe, Marge and other furious parents set Kruger a blaze. Now, wracked with guilt, she drinks her pain away and her secrete safe from her only child, Nancy. That is until Nancy figures it out on her own, propelling Marge to tell her daughter the truth of the matter in only a way that she could...Dramatically. This is may fave scene, by the way. So, funny. Revealing her dark past reignites her relationship with her daughter. Unfortunately, she does not make it to see her daughter put an end to

Weird Movie Wednesday: My Mom

Hello and welcome to another special Weird Movie Wednesday. Today, I thought I would talk a little bit about my mom, her fave movies, and the movies she showed me that made me the horror nut I am today. Without her, I don't know that I would love these things as much as I do. This is an early Mother's Day surprise and an ode to mom. Enjoy. So, my mom is a horror fan from way back and she has never been shy in sharing her love for gore with her three kids. Growing up, there were few movies that were off limits and, as long as she was in the room, we could watch anything we wanted. Plus, she worked in a video store so, needless to say, we had access to a wide array to all the movies we could ever want. There were the staples such as A Nightmare on Elm St., Silver Bullet, Return of the Living Dead , Demons and all the Evil Dead's . Not to forget Texas Chainsaw Massacre, My Bloody Valentine, and Friday the 13th and the list goes on. But there were a few that she made us w

FearStyle Friday: Kingpin

Happy late FearStyle Friday! I've been super busy today, but I will always make time for you. Today we are talking about Kingpin, an off the wall comedy about a has been bowler training an Amish natural make it all the way to the bowling Nationals. I chose this movie for today because we went bowling last night. We usually go once a week (we like to bowl) and my brother and I couldn't stop quoting this movie. So, I thought I'd bring it to you. Kingpin is about and ex-pro bowler who had lost his hand to a bad hustle in his prime. He lives in a shanty of an apartment and has to try and sell novelties to pay his bills. While trying to make a living, he stumbles upon an amateur bowler who is just a natural. There's just one problem...he's Amish and obviously not supposed to be there. Roy offers to be the kids manager and make him a star. The kid declines his offer and pedals his way back home. However, the kids farm is in the weeds and they need half a millio

Weird Movie Wednesday: Chucky's New Look

Happy Wednesday, everyone. Hope y'all are ready to get weird because today's post is gonna be about Chucky. More specifically, his face. I have recently seen more and more images of Chucky's new look and I have some things to say. So let's go! (Just a side note: I can't upload pictures for some reason, so that sucks. However, I will try to get some uploaded to Instagram so get with me there to see the many faces of Chucky) Okay, so I don't if you have seen Chucky's new look but let me just say...it is bad. Like really, really bad. I've been trying to have this positive attitude about this new movie, but they aren't giving me much to like about it. The only stand out thing that I think is gonna be pretty cool is Mark Hamill. That's about it. I mean, look at this face. He looks like he is constipated or that he smelled something bad. Why does he look like that!? I mean he's scary alright...scary ugly and not in a good way. I know that if I
