The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave (1971) // movies

11 days ago by Giovanni Susina

Even with the gory movie poster and the seductively macabre title, movie theaters thought this film could use a little extra hype during its premiere, by serving red popcorn; otherwise known as bloodcorn.

When the Fallen Rise

15 days ago by Adriana Noir

We all have our favorite beasties or things that go bump in the night. For some people it’s vampires, zombies, or ghosts. Me?

Blood on Satan's Claw [1971] // movies

37 days ago by Tenebrous Kate
