Love the little girl in the trailer when she asks him “Like the Devil’ and gods couldn’t the guy also have blue eyes to go with that accent isn’t there some sort of phrase the devil has blue eyes or something like that?
So the devil was bored in hell and decides to go on a vacation where else but to L.A. owns the nightclub called Lux and becomes a consultant to to the LAPD officer in which Lauren German plays…Chloe Dancer, (sounds like a stripper name to me) the cop who was previously on tv and investigating the case of the singer who is murdered. Kevin Alejandro (gonna have to add him to my Staunker list) from True Blood & tran for Mayor on Arrow plays her husband Dan (ex?) he wrapped his investigation into the killing in the first episode while Chloe is still investigating.
and that cute little girl Scarlett Estevez who plays trixie their daughter is sent to the principle’s office (i forget what she did but) some other girl was bullying her and where was Lucifer when I was getting bullied in school? Man I would have loved for those buttheads to be scared like that!
rounding out the main cast is D.B. Woodside playing the angel Amenadiel who is sent to to get Lucifer to go back to hell.
The Cucuy is a Mexican folklore story parents tell their kids to make them behave. It is the Mexican boogeyman.
Kids have been going missing in a neighborhood, same time a new guy moves in next door to our protagonist family. Is he the cause or just the red herring?
When Emilia is bullied at school, her older sis Sofia sticks up for her and gets in trouble. She is sentenced to house arrest and starts using a telescope to watch the neighborhood. She suspects the new neighbor next door is the reason for the missing kids.

2 times now i’ve tried watching the movie and both times I ended up doing something while watching it. Thank goodness I didn’t see it in the theater. Even just a few minutes of watching it, I think I’d rather have dental work done and I hate dentists (nothing personal, just childhood trauma)
I had forgotten to watch this (which I saw AFTER I tried to view it the first time.
An explosion in a Canadian mine leaves 20 or so men caved in. There’s a mission to get a well head there, to rescue the men but with a fleet if 3 trailers can they make the deadline? Omg a beautiful purple sunset. They have to take the ice road even though its closed as its off season And there’s some useless guy with them with his own agenda And Mike figures it out.
Man is Liam Neeson really typecast! But even though its his usual fare, this was still a good watch. When I think of the movie I still see scenes of it in my head. Also something I really wanted to see done. (I think you will know what I mean when it happens!
With the new Candyman movie coming out, I thought I’d share this list with you.
I am not planning on seeing the new movie, even if it says its a sequel. And I don’t see Tony Todd in the cast list as Candyman and well he IS CANDYMAN. You can’t make a sequel without him
JAW DROP! I did not know that was him in the Crow!!!
But I think his Final Destination Character should have been at leasts #2
Rose is a Sweet and lonely small town driving instructor Her father was a paranormal researcher and she used to help him with her skills as a medium.
Martin’s wife Bonnie is a very active ghost helping with reminders but driving her daughter and Martin crazy

If you like Brit humor then you may like this, I guess this isn’t my kind of brit humor. For me so-so it was a silly stupid movie, though I remember enough of it. Maybe I’m not sure how to take it.
3months ago a sub crew come under attack from…scorpions Camp Pendleton ‘war room? Has been missing ship submarine crew and cargo for 3 months Something tells me “the cargo” is the scorpions Spots frEeze. But just have to skip 10 seconds ANd usually fine Some bad cg fx When I saw this I thought of the cover of a book with a scorpion on it. I forget the name and Author but it was one with a lot if books…:::looks in kindle library to see if I have it) The breach by Edward j McFadden 111 tho that is still to read. Not much to really write about just one of those movies you watch once and forget about, Though if iT could get a big budget for better grafix and actors maybe a more complex storyline it would be great
I’ve always loved watching and re-watching these over the years. Its been so long since i’ve seen the first, I don’t remember what the stories were. I think that’s because they show part 2 quite often and I’ve learned there’s a 3rd movie. Only one thing, I also sometimes get what stories are creepshow and what is Tales from the Crypt (or is Creepshow part of that ‘Tales of Terror’?)
When they mentioned a tv show would be coming I was a little disappointed it would be on a streaming service. Thankfully though it was aired on AMC (the Home of the Walking Dead)
Here I review the movies as well as any seasons of the show. My recap/review of the 2nd movie and first season is already finished, but this will be updated as I watch the movies and as season 2 goes on.
Not sure if I have the titles noted in order, but as I remember some of the tales without having to watch I’ll include a quick summary. You can find on amazon to rent.
The Lonesome Death of Jordi Verrill
Stephen King!!
Simple farmer Jordy finds a meteor, picks it up and brings it home. He finds his finger has something growing on it.
Not sure if it was radiation that caused what happens to jordy, but that will teach ya not to pick things up not of this world.
Father’s Day
I remember a cake, a family and an old man. aside from that I don’t remember much, other than a tiny spec of what happens.
The Crate
This is the best! So other than the picture…I’m not telling
Creepshow 2
1987 R 92 minutes
The following are based on stories by Stephen King. I remember seeing these so long ago, but still remember them more or less. Though I usually get these and the ones from the first Creepshow movie mixed up as to which are in what volume.
Old Chief Wood N’ head
In the Town of Dead River, the old general store and its elder owner is one of the last holdouts in town to sell. When the store is robbed, its guardian, a wooden Indian goes to war on the criminals. this is the one I always liked and remembered best, as well as
The Raft …
a bunch of what I think is supposed to be 20 somethings go for a swim at a pretty lake. When they get there they are trapped by what looks like floating sludge garbage)
I don’t know what it is about movies with water but for some reason THESE are the ones that make me think twice about going in the water. First Jaws (ankle deep first time in ocean and ask are there sharks.. Mind you I think this was in Jr. high!) and this movie which there WAS a raft like this I had to swim out to at a lake beach we’d go to. Between shore and the raft everytime something (weeds ?) touched me I would freak out. One time to the point where the lifeguard had to call me out.
The last is the Hitchhiker. which is basically a struggle with one’s conscious . A wife cheats on her husband and No that’s not her problem, its what comes next on her way to hopefully beat her husband home.
Creepshow 3
find where to JustWatch sadly its not available for free and only seems to be available on Indieflix. Looking up on Amazon, not available on prime and the only options for video are astronomical! I saw $40 and up! Trying to open the movie to play it I get an error message after I sign up. There are 3 subscription plans starting at $4.99 (after a 7 day trial) or $50 a year. Yeah I think I may do that trial and Un-sub right after I watch.
The opening is a crappy computer animation and all i’m thinking is someone got the rights to make a 3rd film…they are not helping themselves with that intro. F on that.
Alice
Girl walking home on her phone talking about hates her neighbors and can’t wait to get out of there. She gets home and everyone is gathered around, and her dad is fiddling with a universal remote . When he clicks a button and the phone doesn’t work, then she has a new family. With each zap of the remote she becomes physically deformed. (is this supposed to be moral of the story she’s as ugly on the outside now as she is on the inside?) When her hand as a burn or whatever that’s supposed to be the make up goes up to her wrist maybe a little past and just stops suddenly, even looks like some of it was folded down. Not memorable in the least.
The Radio
A security guard lives in a slum of a house. He buys a radio off some homeless man who yells alot (and for no reason) and soon the antenna and a knob breaks off. When he goes to trash it, it starts talking to him.
This was a big YAWN
Call Girl
Some frat looking guy calls Rachel, a call girl. He says his family is out of town, meanwhile they walk right by them or whoever that was. can’t say much else or it will ruin the suspense (if there is even any in that) and the cool part.
This is the best so far. And may end up being the memorable one.
The Professor’s wife
More comedic than anything. Think Stepford wife meets horror with Lots of blood I promise that and its a bit of a cliche
Haunted Dog
This may end up being a little memorable.
Some A-hole cuts in line at a hot dog stand. When karma tries to get him, after dropping the hot dog on the ground, he gives it to a homeless man. This guy we find out is supposed to be sentenced (for some reason) to work at the free clinic for 30 days. He’s a pill popper too, just no idea what kind he’s taking. He keeps seeing the homeless man.
Honestly was it Romero and King who originally started this, well if I was King, I would sue the pants off everyone on the creative team for this.
Creepshow (series)
While I’m not crazy about remakes and reboots, there are just some that
Do not ruin the original story
Is on par with (or better than) the original
Good or interesting (as original?) Stories/plot lines
Someone attached to them that I respect in some fashion
TBD
Creepshow on shudder and on AMC fits all those points for me.
Greg Nicotero, yes executive producer and FX make-up extraordinaire of The Walking Dead, has brought Creep show back with 12 more terrifying terrors,.
At the start seeing this character on the left, I didn’t remember him from the movies. They start with some comic frames morphing into ‘live action’ that character on the left. I don’t know if it ever was originally a comic, but it sure reminds me of one of the Tales from the Crypt characters. Definitely NOT the crypt keeper or the witch, I can’t think of the name of the other one let alone find it. Ah that’s it… I think its the Vault Keeper from the Vault of Horror series of the comics
*Gray Matter Deals with Alcoholism and even depression I see some of my experience in that.
a son who wants his father to stop drinking has to bring him home beer every day on the way home from school. His father making empty promises to stop. We see the last case in the store of dad’s brand has mold on it (I wouldn’t even get it) As the story goes on the father withdraws more and more. In the end he reminds me of a part Stephen King had in (not sure if it was the original Creepshow movie or another anthology movie altogether. But in the end its basically look at the monster you have become
The house of the Head The adorable actress that plays Judith from The Walking Dead has a nice big old fashion doll house.
She’s lucky there’s even a store in town that sells the dolls for it. (I remember when I had one, if one my dolls went missing.. we’d ask my cat TomJerry if he knew where it was and he’d show us!!! Now the little girl notices there’s something odd happening with her house. She leaves the dolls in one room and when she looks away or comes back from dinner or school they are in different rooms. I didn’t really get why or how the head was happening (though maybe an inkling) but where did the head come from?
*Bad wolf down A platoon of American soldiers during World War 2 (why are they even called Nazis? Who came up with that word?) This is one of the memorable ones… and all puns intended Ha ha “Dog Soldiers”
The finger is it going to be the middle finger? Little fact (I think) the middle finger I found out came from the French archers. When they would loose an arrow they would flip the bird at the British. The british armies would cut off the middle fingers of the french (archers only?) during the war.
Oh the guy from Supernatural and Znation is in this. He collects found objects. He finds a finger and accidentally spills Harrow’s beer on it (yes the same fave beer of the Dad from the Grey matter episode). It seems to suck it right up. It grows and reminds me of a cross between Alien Xenomorph and Pumpkinhead.
*All Hallow’s Eve “pull on your masks Boils and ghouls” Again looks like vault keeper is creepshow actually stories from Vault of horror? (which in a sense means Tales from the crypt) a bunch of kids go trick or treating they swear for the last time. I like this one cause it felt sort of like one of those Are you afraid of the Dark episodes. I think there’s some sort of urban legend about these kids taking kids, and maybe they are ghosts, or is this just a halloween prank?
The Man in the Suitcase OMG what an idiot you didn’t even double check to make sure the bag was yours? OMG is this guy a contortionist or is this CG (or a bit of both?) Moral of the story… don’t be greedy or selfish
The companion WHOA that is a SCARY scarecrow. What is that thing on the Scarecrow, I can’t make it out, at first I thought it was an open jaw… so far from it. A widowed man makes a companion to ease his loneliness. Of course things don’t go quite as planned. Not one of my top favorites but an Honorable mention esp. for that creepy ass Scarecrow
Lydia Layne’s Better Half oooh Ghostly This one reminds me of something that would be in one of the Anjaan episodes I watched on NEtflix. Its Indian urban legends.
Night of the Paw A Funeral home owner losing money makes a wish. Something of a cliche story, ‘The Monkey’s paw”
Times is tough in Musky Holler – with David Arquette NOT one of my favorites however some citizens including one of authority seems to have broken some rules and are getting their punishment. Seated in Chairs that are on chains. I was trying to figure out what that would be about before hand but at least it was something original for me. A human head wack a mole? Bowling? or billiards? Are they vampires? Then why are they not smoking or burning in the sun. Zombies?
Episode 6… SKINCrawlers Opens on a skeleton and warning if you don’t like spiders… LOOK AWAY.
It mentions something about skin deep, which sounds familiar I wonder if its the name of a past Creepshow title (from the first movie, or orginal series). THis one was a bit nauseating.
*By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain a father goes missing after hunting down a sea monster. Like father like daughter; the teen girl finds what her father was after.
Season 2
I saw some ads for the new season and was a bit sad as I didn’t have extra money to subscribe to shudder for a month. LUCKY ME!!! AMC is airing it again. So anyone who works for any TV/Cable Stations that get the rights to air the streaming shows… THANK YOU!
The new season starts off with is that Kevin Dillon? in episode 1
Model Kid
A young boy who loves monsters like the Gilman, The mummy and so on who to his mother calls them his friends. He gets bullied in school for liking them. His mother is supportive and sadly has cancer. They watch movies on a reel to reel projector, and he puts together and paints models of the Monsters. His mother tells him his Aunt and Uncle are moving in until they get back on their feet and while she goes for another round of chemo. The young boy is not happy, as he doesn’t like his uncle and I don’t blame him. The uncle is an ass and no better than a school bully to the kid. Some how one of the monsters comes to life, Then in a dream, His mom hands him one of his monster magazines (comics) and there he finds ‘The Victim’ model he does not yet have. I enjoyed this not only for the story but seeing all the posters etc. around the boy’s bedroom.
Public Television of the Dead
Ted Raimi
a spoof on Channel 13 PBS I guess you could say as there’s a Bob Ross wannabe The LOVE of Painting, and Mrs bookberry’s Library with some puppet. During an antique’s appraisal show a gentleman (Raimi) brings an ancient book on, and the appraiser starts to read it
(WARNING… NEVER EVER read aloud the text in an ancient book unless you absolutely know what it will do.)
From there Blood hits the fan and the few that’s left have to send the demons back to hell.
Dead and breakfast

Traces orob back to apt the owner of the cat… Within the walls of madness A u.s. detention center Some lab in a cold area Some vortex ???.’i”t came in through the walls”.

5 night of the living late show
Open with night if the living dead back drop As a VR game? Justin long Kind of boring but enjoyed the idea of the VR movies (reminded me of Ready Player one where they can go in the movies)
6
animated special
survivor type
a surgeon is stranded on an island
road trip (?)
Circus of the dead
This was better (eventually)
Season 3
May have mentioned before the likness to tales from the crypt with the magazine (esp. Style and layout)
6 episodes
1 Mums, queen bee
Mom decides to go to visit family, and take her son jake. Her husband is waiting at door with reinforcements, obviously the abusive type. She called him a supremist and terrorist, so my judgement is pretty much right in the money, speaking of which finds some in the suitcase with a clip around One bundle. He says he’s going to make a citizen arrest. Plus she’s had mental and alcoholic problems. Something happened when they take her away in the pickup.
I have a feeling the brunette knows what’s going on or something ‘nefarious’ minor or major.
While asleep the son dreams the mother Is dead.
The kid plants some seeds (mums) When they grow they look like there’s hair on them
In queen bee there’s A diva singer that has gone into labor and a gurl big fan.. And 2 friends steal her moms hospital key card to ‘break in’ for some pictures.
A guard finds them an accident and they get away. Doctor etc with green eyes
2 skeletons in the closet, familiar
Skeletons… A movie prop collector has a museum, the oropsvarebhus fathers legacy. His khan is Bates, always out bidding him. He takes it to far when he (bates) pays for a visit. Specifically to see what’s behind the curtain before the new collection premieres.
There are many identifiable props from (mostly horror movies) some mentions of tv and other genre movies but there’s a Freddy glove (however does not look original to me) saw things from psycho, evil dead and a few other but I’d say best was from phantasm. I wonder how many were the real thing and others remade(if at all)
Ok that chick did not do the shower Scene well.
Creep show guy at the end lol
Familiar
A couple goes to boones good eye. Some fortune teller, but no site of the person when they walk in. The actor looks familiar.
The guy is a skeptic, but while reading the girls palm he passes a note to the guy something bad followed him in.
Once home, the door opens of its own accord. At work his copier prints on its own and the furniture goes ‘paranormal activity’
3 ‘Tsubadya
Some Japanese artist dies and his lawyers have found his lone descendant. But is only to be passed to family. The kid sells it, and the rich guy at unveiling makes everyone gasp. I bet he released some spirit or demon that was in the painting.
After he’s seeing things, like the subjects of the paintings move or change.
The painting and even a sketch is scarier than the costume. This is where at least some CG should have been used.
Oh this is a good one
Wait HOW
Ok ill bite
4 stranger sings
A main street and a book shop. arms full of books and a hot coffee but the guy there doesn’t want to offend her by opening the door for her…SERIOUSLY!!!!!! Walks her back home And I think she’s A siren, and from the looks of the decor….from Greece.
Is that practical make up fx ?? Cool!!! b+
Predictable monster c
Meter reader
A demonic plague. The trash men collect heads The term meter reader . s not what you think. They go to houses afflicted and do exorcisms. They however are not priests.
5
Time out Something with military then a funeral and a kid messing with a locked closet in which the cat went in😥😭 and didn’t get out. So what kind of cabinet can I call this? The vapor room? Oooh an eternity box?
Compared to his wife he looks like he’s aging faster.
the things in oak woods past
animated. Starts with the news and A piece on oakwood. Sounded like the town vanished like the Roanoke settlement.
A librarian or school teacher trying to decifer the wrutings in tge journals found in a tiwn time capsule from 1621s but there’s one part she can’t figure out and it could mean history will repeat itself in their time.
Finding out too late that the ‘time capsule is not one but a cage for some scary demon like monsters I would have preferred to have been in decent cg form as animation could turns everything in to a Disney princess (animated = not scary even if its the biggest puss filled zit on dr.pimple popper.
6 Drug traffic Michael roker guest stars Starts with a politician (I thought they changed to commercial right after creds!!!hate when they do that) Some girl that was on bus with them looks really sick And one point of the trip…. so what happens when she doesn’t get her meds??? Turns into a zombie??? Goes Japanese horror movie? Nope and I DID NOT see that coming But then…. Lol the mom ‘they take care of her “condition”‘
Don’t know what to call it, but that is no condition!!!! Oh man what does that remind me of!!
A dead girl named sue Black and white So far I think something happened to someone’s kid. There’s A bunch of guys talking to the cops, Has a night of living dead vibe is my first impression
Don’t know what happened how or by who or what yet
Multiscreen MoTVision
