If I had psychic powers, I would have used them to convince John Carpenter not to do this remake of the 1960 cult classic about killer albino kids.

John Carpenter’s “Prince of Darkness” is a thoroughly entertaining bit of sci-fi/horror apocalyptic claptrap.

John Carpenter’s 1988 take on aliens-among-us is a low-rent affair with schlocky special effects and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper as the star.

John Carpenter’s 1982 film remains a horror/sci-fi classic, combining moody atmospherics with special effects that still impress.

I watched “Blair Witch Project.” I knew “Blair Witch Project.” “Blair Witch Project” was a friend of mine. “Paranormal Activity,” you’re no “Blair Witch Project.”

“Pit and the Pendulum” was one of the first hits for Vincent Price and schlockmeister Roger Corman. The 1961 film remains an atmospheric horror classic.

One of the earliest earnest zombie flicks, 1943’s “I Walked with a Zombie” combines corny dialogue with some wonderfully moody photography.

This late 1950s monster movie is a little less than a graveyard smash – but still worth an amusing look.
