Friday the 13th Part III – Those Who Died With Dirty Asses

Posted on November 26, 2017 by drhumpp

I could never be a real storyteller.  As I’m sure anyone who has ever listened to me ramble (or even read it here) knows, I’m too wordy.  I can never disseminate what’s essential and what can be left out.  I … Continue reading →

Halloween IV – The Blond Mask

Posted on November 3, 2016 by drhumpp

While pointing out continuity errors can be amusing, I don’t want to see this collection devolve into pointing out errant boom mics or awkward jump cuts.  I love to nitpick as much as the next guy, but not all bloopers … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th Part V – Cat Abuse

Posted on September 22, 2016 by drhumpp

False alarm jump scares are pretty much par for the course with slasher movies.  I’m not a huge fan but, when done effectively, they can keep an audience on its toes.  There seems to be quite a finite number of … Continue reading →

Texas Chainsaw Massacre III – Dead Armadillo

Posted on September 8, 2016 by drhumpp

It’s interesting that most horror fans I know are also among the biggest softies around when it comes to animals.  I’m not even talking Italian cannibal level of violence (I’ve never met anyone who finds that anything but repulsive), I’m … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th Part 2 – Moonlight Swim

Posted on August 25, 2016 by drhumpp

There are a few milestones in life that most people never forget – graduations, weddings, births, and even first kisses.  I’ve gone through all of those (yeah, that’s right – I kissed a girl!).  There’s another milestone that most of … Continue reading →

Halloween IV – Jamie’s Mother

Posted on July 28, 2016 by drhumpp

We all get laughed at, especially as kids.  It’s a hard line to draw between what’s all in good fun and what is hurtful and damaging.  Little kids seem to love it and will often go to absurd lengths just … Continue reading →

Freddy’s Dead – Looking Young

Posted on July 14, 2016 by drhumpp

I’m not sure when that moment is between when we are kids trying to seem older and when we become adults hoping we can still pass for 5 or 10 years younger.  We always want to look like we’re in … Continue reading →

Sleepaway Camp II – The Green Pool

Posted on June 2, 2016 by drhumpp

I’m not an outdoors-y person at all.  I do love camping though, and I’m pretty sure this comes from my complete adoration of 80s camp set slasher movies.  The more a campground looks like something I saw in Friday the … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th Part IV – Jason’s Curious Behavior

Posted on May 19, 2016 by drhumpp

Slasher fans tend to be pretty forgiving of lapses in logic.  We kind of have to be.  Some of my favorite movies have pretty baffling things going on.  These are the moments that detractors of the genre have the hardest … Continue reading →

My Bloody Valentine – Stray Dog

Posted on May 5, 2016 by drhumpp

Growing up, I always considered myself the expert on the genre.  Looking back, it seems that it was probably more by default than anything else.  I didn’t meet anyone else who liked horror more than casually until high school. There … Continue reading →
