Written by R. G. Henning, Sackhead has the following description: For fans of the genre, 1978-1984 is the Golden Age for slasher movies.

Directed by Steve Miner and starring Amy Steel and John Furey,...

Happy Friday the 13th, Campers! It’s time to talk about the high water mark of the Friday the 13th saga, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), the action-packed fourth entry that was decidedly not the final chapter of this twelve-part (so far) series. Reader beware: this review is not devoid of spoilers, though this writer tries to maintain a few surprises for the uninitiated.
After Friday the 13th: Part III (1982) took terror into the third dimension, Final Chapter was able to capitalize on the best elements of its predecessors while smoothing out some of their storytelling hiccups. Final Chapter ports over the basic setup of Friday the 13th: Part II (1981) and Part III: Tormented former New Jersey summer camp attendee Jason Voorhees (Ted White this time around), wreaks belated vengeance on the same camp’s next generation of counselors. In the original Friday the 13th (1980), a surprising different...

Written By: Mark Patrick Carducci
Starring: Alan Hayes (Steven), Leilani Sarelle (Natalie), Donna Locke (Paula), Victor Elliot Brandt (Devin), David Muir (Wylie), Marta Kober (Lorraine), P.R. Paul (Eugene), Jeff Tyler (Wally), Amber Austin (Lisa), James Acheson (Ray), Chuck Hemingway (Gary), Bo Sabato (Manello), Jessie Lawrence Ferguson (Carson), John Lafayette(Thomas), Gene Bicknell (Cozzie)
Neon Maniacs is by far one of the most obvious 1980s B horror films I have seen in quite some time. It doesn’t try to disguise the era at all with the blaring 80s songs, the teen sex, right down to the slightly cheesy monsters attacking people. I honestly don’t see how this movie has fallen by the wayside as I rarely hear any horror fan talk about it in the least in B movie circles. It is far from perfect but it is at least a fun movie.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Friday the 13th made a bushel full of money and the quickest way to cash in on it again was to make a sequel. Part 2 pretty much remade the first one, but Jason was given star billing (wearing a flour sack). Years have passed and Alice (Adrienne King) is recovering from her terrors at Camp Crystal lake. She.s then stalked by an intruder, discovers that something has gone bad in her fridge, and then joins her friends in the grave as the intruders kills her. Near the abandoned Camp Crystal lake camp, a group of counselors, Sandra (Marta Kober), Jeff (Bill Randolph), Terry (Kirsten Baker), Mark (Tom McBride), Vicki...
