Think of it as Little Shop of Horrors meets Godzilla, only it’s not as bad or as goofy as it sounds. The kaiju kiddos love this entry in the Godzilla franchise and I don’t blame them. This one is purposefully outrageous and full of fun. Complete with piano wires in which to get the monsters to ...
In which a rather stoned-looking King Kong (put down the sleep inducing berries, man!!) gets to ride a bundle of hot air balloons across the sea and then summon a whole lot of lightning in order to kick Godzilla’s radioactive thunder thighs! King Kong vs Godzilla is exactly what Toho needed after the lukewarm ...
If you think sequels are a side effect of the modern era, you are absolutely incorrect. For proof of this, let’s take a look at the subject of this article: 1933’s Son of Kong, which gives the audience another take on monsters, making this version of Kong a bit more . . . fun and lovable ...
“We may be witnessing a Biblical prophecy come true--the beasts will reign over the earth.” Today, on Kaiju Korner, I’m going to flip the script a bit and focus on . . . bugs. While usually small and parasitic in their general annoyances, bugs are a BIG problem for a lot of people. From flies to beetles, ...
With the brand-new release of ALL FIVE (so far) of the Monsterverse movies on Ultra 4K, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit 2017’s Kong: Skull Island. Received well both critically and commercially, this kaiju film is a visual spectacle and the new 4K upgrade - courtesy of Warner Brothers - doesn’t ...
Let the titans battle! Directed by Adam Wingard, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is one hell of a monsterverse slugfest as Kong must recruit a super-charged Godzilla in a battle for more than just Hollow Earth. If that statement means little to you then, rest assured, this movie ...

For this installment of Kaiju Korner, we tackle the screen debut of Rodan, Godzilla’s best and worst frenemy in a number of kaiju sequels, as he takes to the skies in his film debut over an erupting Mount Aso and wreaks all sorts of havoc for the4 civilians below thanks to his ...
“Once they were men; now they are land crabs.” The late GREAT Roger Corman was not one to shy away from kaiju territory, no matter the ridiculousness of the story. His early B-movies are absolute marvels at what he was able to pull off on a dime-sized budget and that’s where we take things ...
Mutated by the H-bomb one octopus takes its deformity into its own hands and attacks!! That’s right, Kaiju Kravers, it’s time to ramp up those fears of a nuclear attack with It Came From Beneath the Sea! ...
In which the Yakuza enter into a Godzilla flick. Yes, those badass dudes. Sure, their involvement in the plot of Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla proves to be little more than shoot-out to add some conspiracy to the failed implementation of Project T - a psychic way to control ...
Monsters. Mutants. And mayhem from the skies above! It’s all here in Godzilla: Final Wars, the one movie designed to end the kaiju reign of terror once and for all ...
There is absolutely nothing subtle about The Raven. Thank God. By 1935, Universal had Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi under contract, Edgar Allan Poe's name sitting there begging to be exploited, and audiences apparently willing...
Well, this took a left turn. After Claude Rains laughed his way into homicidal insanity and Vincent Price spent an entire movie trying not to lose his mind, Universal looked at the Invisible Man series and apparently decided, "You ...
You know what's funny about invisibility? Everybody thinks it's a superpower. Nope. It's a curse. Sure, for about five minutes you'd rob a bank, sneak into a movie theater, scare the hell out of your coworkers, and ...
Andrew Lloyd Webber may have turned The Phantom of the Opera into one of the most recognizable musicals on Earth, but for horror fans, there has only ever been one Phantom. ...
Andrew Lloyd Webber may have turned The Phantom of the Opera into one of the most recognizable musicals on Earth, but for horror fans, there has only ever been one Phantom. ...
By the time The Ghost of Frankenstein rolled into theaters in 1942, Universal's favorite oversized corpse had already been shot, burned, drowned, buried, and generally treated like the world's least appreciated science experiment. ...
You know what I love about House of Frankenstein? It doesn't care. It doesn't care that the plot is completely bonkers. It doesn't care that Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, and the Wolf Man all somehow wind ...
There's something wonderfully ironic about The Last Warning. For years, it's been the forgotten one. Mention Paul Leni and horror fans immediately jump to The Cat and the Canary. Mention Universal's silent era ...
There are sequels . . . and then there's Bride of Frankenstein. You know the type. The ones everyone tells you are better than the original. Usually they're wrong. Jaws 2? Stop it. Caddyshack II? Get the hell out of here ...
On again, off again. In love, out of love. Going back to school, starting a new job. Everything is fluid and everything is changing in the whimsical and lustful drama from French director Jacques Audiard. Capturing the residential district of Les Olympiades in beautiful black and white photography ...
Before haunted houses became a horror cliché...before every creaking floorboard, flickering candle, hidden passageway, and family fortune trapped unsuspecting victims inside a sprawling mansion...there was The Cat and the Canary ...
Let's get something straight right out of the gate. If you've spent your life arguing that the Joker is the greatest comic book villain ever created—and I absolutely have—then you owe a debt of gratitude to a silent film released nearly ...

For nearly a century, Dracula has refused to stay buried. He has drifted through candlelit castles, fog-covered cemeteries, forgotten laboratories, and even the manic chaos of Abbott and Costello, evolving with each appearance while ...
James Whale. Boris Karloff. The year after Frankenstein was released. Need I say anything more about why, even today, The Old Dark House absolutely slaughters its audience? The tension and the creep factor are ratcheted ...
