Until the other day I had never heard of this movie, and I really didn’t know two of them existed. An ex good friend of mine requested I review it. I say ex because a real friend would not have asked me to watch this movie.

That may be a little harsh, the sound and visuals for a movie made in the 1980’s weren’t bad and I have no complaints about the acting, but the story was just so damn stupid. Basically a dude tried to sacrifice is son and mom stops him. Years later he inherited the house, discovers a bunch of stuff including that he can summon little demon creatures and seemingly make it rain in his basement. While the idea sounds good it just wasn’t. The twist at the end when they revive his dad from the dead whom tries to sacrifice his son to the devil in return for eternal life isn’t much a twist nor did it save the movie from being mediocre at best. May the gaming gods bring you glory, and may the have mercy on my friends soul for this movie.

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991)

Any fan of the Godzilla franchise knows the movies are basically either CGI or a dude in a suit..or a mixture of both, and you can always tell. And the classic lips still move well after voices stop is well intact.

This time around a ship from the future has come to help rid Japan of Godzilla once and for all before he destroys their nuclear power plants and makes the island unlivable. One small problem, their intent is to make Godzilla not exist so they can use King Ghidorah to take over the world themselves. I won’t spoil the specifics but in the end our favorite fire breathing lizard is back bigger and meaner than ever before.

Zombie Army Trilogy

ZAT

Like shooting games? Wanna shoot zombies? Hate Nazis? Have I got a game for you. Zombie Army Trilogy is a game where Hitler has a secret plan. When World War 2 went south for the Nazi side of things Hitler turned to the occult, and the results were Hitler and his army being turned into an army of the undead. The controls can be a little stiff at times but they are perfectly usable and while the sound and graphics aren’t what I would call top notch I won’t complain about them either. The game is both challenging and fun. It also offers both a story mode and horde mode both available in single player and online multiplayer. Casual gamers may not like it, but zombie shooter fans will enjoy it. Now get out there and shoot some Nazi zombies, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994)

wes craven

Freddy is back in the final battle with Nancy. This time however it is quite a bit different from the other movies as Nancy isn’t Nancy. She is Heather Langenkamp. Wes Craven plays Wes Craven and even John Saxon plays John Saxon. Many of the characters play themselves as the lines between fiction and reality become blurred. Heather is dealing with a stalker while her husband secretly works on a new Freddy project that Wes is writing. Slowly but surely things start to take a strange turn as things on the movie set start happening, people working on the movie start dying and of course Heather’s son starts to have odd dreams.

The explanation for all this sounds really odd but it comes together very nicely, and while back in 1994 the idea that a Freddy movie would take place in the real world and acknowledge the others as movies to bring him into the real world as an entity that has existed for millennia sounded insane. However, Wes Craven created a movie that both gave us another Freddy movie while leaving past movies intact. May he forever rest in peace, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

An interesting read about Dracula

Before the Mummy, Wolfman and Frankenstein Monster, there was one character that launched the Universal Monster series into full gear- Count Dracula. Although it wasn’t the first film to feature a vampire, “Dracula” cemented vampire culture deep into cinematic history; making it the best film to represent Thirsty Thursday’s. […]

Fortnite Battle Royale

fbr

Fortnite Battle Royale may be the prettiest free game I personally have played, and it is a lot of fun. A weird flying bus will fly over an island and dump you and 99 other player over the island where you will land and the free for all will commence. You can build structures, chop down trees or other structures collect supplies and explore, all in an effort to be the last one standing. The game is far from perfect but they are making improvements and it is a lot of fun. My favorite part is when you die they don’t force you to watch the rest of the round, you simply join a new game which never takes long to find. Now get out there, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)

freddys dead

This has upset many of horror fans, even more Freddy fans and has made me a few friends. However this is my favorite Nightmare on Elm Street movie. While not the scariest of the bunch I did find it the most entertaining.

This time around a group of delinquent teens must stop Freddy. The catch? One of them may be the long lost child of Freddy himself. What follows are some great deaths, for example Freddie pushing a bed of spikes under a falling teen like something out of a loony tunes cartoon. True to Freddy form he needs his kid to escape not just one set of victims to another but this time a new town all together, because remember, every town has an Elm Street. The death of Freddy sadly seems pretty shallow for such a legend, but can a legend really die? Ponder that, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors

zamn

I first played this game for the Super Nintendo years ago.I spent days shooting zombies with a squirt gone and various other off the wall but fun weapons before I realized the game seemed to just repeat levels. Or maybe I just sucked at the game. Either way the game was one of the few games as a kid I remember my mom actually sitting down to play for hours on end.

All the levels while vastly different different play out the same, kill stuff and rescue people. This game was simply a lot of fun to play, and any retro fan should give it a try. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Nightmare on Elm Street 5

elm street 5

The Dream Child (1989) brings back Alice one final time and is another movie that like most of the Freddy movies has a weird cult following. Fans seem to love the series while critics hate them. While I do admit the first movie was probably the best ( tho my favorite is yet to come) it is impossible to say I don’t enjoy my yearly Nightmare weekend. Yes I watched and wrote all these over the course of a weekend. Anyway, this time around Freddy is using the dreams of Alice’s unborn child in an attempt to return. After killing the father Alice is alone with no one left to believe her and the deaths start once again. Will Alive ever sleep again? May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Transport Giant PS4

Yes I know it is October, but occasionally I do have to review stuff that isn’t horror related. but here have a ghost train.

ghost train

Dead serious, do not buy this game expecting a ghost train, there isn’t one. That being said if you like in depth simulation games this may be for you. This isn’t exactly a game you can sit down and play for 15 or 20 minute and be successful at in a meaningful way. In fact one of the trophies is for playing 100 hours. The sound is nice but not spectacular and the graphics aren’t good but for a sim game they are passable. At the end of the day tho this game is really only for die hard fans of the sim genre as you will spend a lot of time in menus and plotting courses as you build an empire transporting goods to various businesses and towns all pre built, anyone else should spend their money elsewhere.
