Two directors have really impressed me with their visions of horror. When coming up with this series, I felt that when I got to this letter, I had to give them their own article. There are many good things that come from Canada. This filmmaker may be one of … Read More
The Letter R. A letter so big it will take two installments to cover the films and the luminaries that are associated with its majesty. Well, maybe majesty is a little strong. There is a lot of ground to cover with the letter. First, we are going to look over … Read More
Some things in life are hard. Brain surgery is hard, especially if you only have a spoon. Riding on the back of great white shark is hard, especially if you are holding an open can of tuna. Hitting a home run is hard, especially if you have spaghetti arms like … Read More
Yes, I know. It’s an old joke, and it fits the letter of the article! I have always gone to the movies for two reasons. Either I wanted a good laugh or a good scare. Both, if done well, can make you pee yourself. My Good Lady Wife says I … Read More

With apologies to “Schoolhouse Rock”, another letter enters the arena of Short Horror Films. For those of you who are much younger and didn’t get to see “Schoolhouse Rock”, back when Saturday Morning Cartoons were on all three major networks and Cap’n Crunch was in great supply, I am … Read More
The letter “K” is not the easiest of letters. Historically, there are few classic films that begin with the letter. Offhand, I can only think of a couple of films like “Kasablanca,” “Kat on a Hot Tin Roof” and “Katch-22.” Of the shorts that I have seen, only two … Read More
If you read last time’s article, you may have considered that the phone number at the end was a reference to Tommy Tutone’s classic song “Jenny”. “What does this have to do with the letter J?”, you ask. Has Fink finally gone off his nut? Nah, folks, that happened years … Read More
