In the Mouth of Madness. & more! Absurd. 18. The Descent (Brit version) is a perfect film. 19. X-Files's Home is an all time great horror movie.

unlabelledView post →Peter Jason was a character actor so prevalent (267 roles) you could not get through the 80s or 90s without seeing him on film & TV on the regular. Hell in 1988 alone he appeared in SUNSET, RED HEAT, THEY LIVE, and ALIEN NATION. That's one year! He was EVERYWHERE for 30yrs of his career. Everywhere!

unlabelledView post →In light of the video I shared earlier today, I have to recommend the low-budget sci-fi 80s B-movie, "They Live". Rowdy Roddy Piper leads a movie about ... well ... let's just say this movie is probably MORE relevant today than when it was made. A John Carpenter classic. A must-watch. #Movies
