The Good Friends have reached the final chapter of Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", and boy do we have opinions!

Does this increase my Cthulhu Mythos or ... ?

Thank you Scott, Paul, and Matt for all the wonderful horror and companionship. I wish you all the best this holiday season!

It's time to catch the last bus out of Innsmouth. Yup, it's all smooth sailing from here. No worries at all...

Come and join Zadok Allen and the Good Friends down by the docks for a nice quart of bootleg whiskey in part 3 of our exploration of The Shadow Over Innsmouth

With the OHMC over, I've written my traditional post mortem of the month's viewing, picking the best, worst and weirdest films I saw. If you're still looking for something to watch tonight, maybe this will offer inspiration

Day 31 of the October Horror Movie Challenge does battle with The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires, a ludicrous and entertaining mash-up of Hammer horror and Shaw Brothers kung-fu

Day 30 of the October Horror Movie Challenge meets El Conde, a weird and ambitious political satire from Chile that reimagines General Pinochet as an ageing vampire

Day 29 of the October Horror Movie Challenge conjures up Juju Stories, a lively anthology film about folk magic in modern-day Nigeria

Day 28 of the October Horror Movie Challenge digs up Demon, where possession is the least frightening part of the ghosts of Poland's past

Day 27 of the October Horror Movie Challenge takes us into the jungle to meet Gaia, a beautiful, inventive fusion of body horror and religious insanity

Day 26 of the October Horror Movie Challenge invites you to Talk to Me, an energetic ghost story that turns into something far darker than it first appears to be

Day 25 of the October Horror Movie Challenge introduces us to The Gruesome Twosome, the only Herschell Gordon Lewis film that's bored me

Day 24 of the October Horror Movie Challenge mutters Murder Me, Monster, a Lynchian nightmare of a monster movie from the Andean highlands of Argentina

The Good Friends reach chapter II in our look at "The Shadow Over Innsmouth". Join us on Joe Sargent's bus as we rattle along the seaside, admiring the local architecture

Day 23 of the October Horror Movie Challenge witnesses The Premonition, a '70s psychic thriller involving a creepy clown that somehow never quite embraces its weirdness

Day 22 of the October Horror Movie Challenge slices into Totally Killer. A slasher comedy with a time travel twist that knows how to focus on the fun parts

Day 21 of the October Horror Movie Challenge rummages through a Shrew's Nest. An engaging, bloody Gothic melodrama, but a little too derivative

Day 20 of the October Horror Movie Challenge invites us to Come to Daddy. More of a black comedy than a horror film, but it packs in more than enough blood and mayhem to satisfy

Day 19 of the October Horror Movie Challenge uncovers the mysteries of the Older Gods -- an independent Lovecraftian film in which an investigator reads handouts while waiting for something interesting to happen

Day 18 of the October Horror Movie Challenge visits the prom to say Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II. An exquisitely 1980s horror film, for better and worse

Day 17 of the October Horror Movie Challenge stops to smell the Blood Flower but finds its scent disappointing
