  • Waxwork (1988) - That wax museum-related horror film that doens't involve Vincent Price or Paris Hilton
    May 9 2023

    A group of friends walk into a mysterious wax museum and several of them don't make it out alive. Really, it's just an excuse to watch a lot of horror vignettes that are awkwardly linked together by a very cliche and overreaching narrative involving magic and Good vs. Evil.

    Apr 18 2023

    A man buys a home, and ropes his family into turning it into a charming B&B, but gets discouraged when their very first guest dies. Chalking it up to bad luck, they bury the body in the back yard and try to forget all about it.... Until it happens again....and again....and again. Pretty soon the cute little Inn has become the local unofficial mortuary against their will, and the police are starting to become suspicious, and the already dysfunctional family is forced to band together as things suddenly get way, way worse then they ever were before.
