Happy Birthday To Me (1981): A Macabre Review.

Happy Birthday To Me
Starring: Melissa Sue Anderson, Glenn Ford, Lawrence Dane
Directed by J. Lee Thompson

Seeing as how my birthday is here, I decided to take it upon myself to review something with a birthday theme.  And today I'm talking about a movie that can't be more aptly named, Happy Birthday To Me.  I've had originally intended to do a review for this last year, but it just wasn't in the cards.  This year, however, is a different matter.  Director J. Lee Thompson doesn't have a whole lot of horror-related directing under his belt, but he did direct two Planet of the Apes sequels, so I took that as a good sign that things will go well here.  Was I correct in that thinking?  Well, let's find out.

Dead On Appraisal (2014): A Macabre Review.

Dead On Appraisal
Starring Zack Fahey, Mike Pfaff, Marguerite Insolia
Directed By Sean Canfield, Scott Dawson, and David Sherbrook

Hello again my freakish followers.  Today I'm returning to the world of Brain Damage Films with another anthology entry.  Dead On Appraisal shares a similarity with Horror House, another anthology movie I previously reviewed, in that it revolves around a real estate agent trying to sell a house with a rather dark history .  But that's pretty much where the similarities end.

Under The Bed (2012): A Macabre Review.


Under The Bed
Starring Jonny Weston, Gattlin Griffith, Peter Holden
Directed by Steven C. Miller

I don't believe there are too many people out there who, as little kids, had some level of fear about some creature that might be hiding under the bed, in the closet, or anywhere where shadows can hide it from the light.  I personally never had a fear of anything in my closet or under my bed, but the basement in the house I grew up in was a different story, which is odd since I spent a fair mount of time there during daylight hours.  But I digress.
