The Lost City of Z (Blu-ray Review)

Child’s Play – Collector’s Edition (Blu-ray Review)

The 1980s was a decade that offered many new iconic horror villains and continued the lore and mythology of ones introduced in the 1970s.  It was a kind of resurgence of horror characters, harkening  back to the days of the Universal monsters back in the 1940s.  At the tail end of the decade we were […]
