Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite body horror movies into the ol’ VCR.

Now, this might genuinely come as a surprise, but body horror wasn’t always one of my favorite horror genres. 

I know, I know. 

Before I became the creepy yet (mostly) well-adjusted adult you see before you, I was just a little horror baby who was only beginning her horror journey. 

And…I wasn’t super into body horror. 

Again, I know, I know. Please forgive me. 

But, as we all know, over the years, I’ve come to love Cronenberg, Yuzna, etc… 

Before the spooky season is over, I wanted to share some of my favorite body horror movies with all of you because I feel like it’s one of the only subgenres we haven’t jumped into this October. 

HOWEVER, some of these aren’t for the faint of heart, especially the likes of Slime City. 

These movies are ooey and gooey and gross and barf-inducing. Some are obviously worse than others, so just go in knowing that it’s gonna get NASTY. 

Alrighty, that should do us for disclaimers and introductions. 

Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite body horror movies (and one honorable mention): 

• Tusk
• Slither 
• Society 
• Slime City 
• From Beyond 
• The Fly (1986)  
• The Substance 
• The Thing (1982) 
• Street Trash (1987)
• Return of the Living Dead III

Honorable Mention: Terrifier 2 (It’s not body horror per se, but it’s still NASTY)

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite Halloween TV episodes into the ol’ VCR.

If you don’t know, I have an entire Halloween watchlist that I go through every single spooky season. 

However, just because I don’t watch something every single year, doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it. 

So, I’ve decided to compile a list of some of my favorite Halloween episodes of TV shows. 

Some of these are annual rewatches, but others are just episodes that I love and watch from time to time. 

Also, I know that a couple of these didn’t originally air during Halloween proper, but they’ve become synonymous with this time of year, so I totally think they count. 

Alrighty, I think that should do us for disclaimers and introductions. 

Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite Halloween episodes of all time.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the After Dark Horrorfest/8 Films to Die For into the ol’ VCR.

I’m honestly really excited to write today’s piece because I get to revisit some of my favorite memories from growing up. 

So, let’s dive in. 

To get to the happy memories, I do have to provide some not-so-happy context. 

As a lot of you know, my father was…kind of a POS. 

He was usually fine with a friend or two coming over, but I couldn’t have regular movie nights or gatherings at my house. 

Additionally, we didn’t have a lot of money, so we couldn’t afford all of the food, snacks, and soda that traditionally accompany a big sleepover and/or movie night. 

But, every year for my birthday, I got to have a movie night where all of my friends crammed into our tiny living room where we would watch horror movie upon horror movie…including some of the 8 Films to Die For. 

(See how I brought it all around?) 

What are the 8 Films to Die For?

Well, friends, I’m so glad you asked. 

The 8 Films to Die For were released by After Dark Films as part of the After Dark Horrorfest, a horror film festival that ran intermittently from 2006 – 2015. 

In addition to the core eight films released, After Dark would sometimes release bonus/secret films, hold events, and elect a Miss Horrorfest who would serve as their “official spokeswoman” for the year. 

I would RACE to my local Blockbuster whenever I knew these movies were going to be released (shoutout to KP for always renting them for me). 

The last set of the 8 Films to Die For was in 2015, but I do wish they’d bring it back. 

TBH, I think people would eat something like this up now… 

Just sayin’. 

After Dark Horrorfest even released the likes of Lake Mungo, which is regarded as one of the best found footage movies of all time. 

So, I think that with the rise of indie horror, people would really enjoy it…

And physical media is making a big come back… 

Okay, fine, I’m begging now, lol. 

Please bring back the 8 Films to Die For. PLEASE. 

I digress. 

I don’t just love the 8 Films to Die For because I’m a horror girlie, but also because they remind me of the annual movie nights I got to have for my birthday, not to mention all of the other movie nights I had regularly at friends’ houses. 

Were all of these releases cinematic gold? No. 

But, they’ll always have a special place in my heart. 

(And, After Dark, I’m pleading with you to bring these releases back)

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Kate Siegel into the ol’ VCR.

On August 9, 1982, Kate Gordon Siegelbaum was born…but you probably know her better as Kate Siegel. 

(Man, I’ve missed doing that) 

I didn’t really find a lot about Kate Siegel’s early life, outside of the fact that she grew up in Maryland. She also went to and graduated from Syracuse University. 

Kate Siegel started her acting career in the 2007 movie, The Curse of The Black Dahlia. From there, she would break into television with a role in an episode of Ghost Whisperer in 2009. 

She would also go on to appear in other shows and short films, alongside movies like Wedding Day and Oculus. 

Kate Siegel married Mike Flanagan in 2016, where they would also become one of the most iconic couples in the horror community, but I digress. 

That same year, Kate Siegel starred in Mike Flanagan’s Hush, which launched both of their careers. 

Over the years, Kate Siegel has starred in shows like The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, and The Fall of the House of Usher, playing one iconic role after another. 

Most recently, Kate Siegel directed the short “Stowaway” in the most recent installment in the V/H/S franchise, V/H/S/Beyond. 

There’s not much more that I can say about Kate Siegel that hasn’t already been said. 

Kate, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤

Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Kate Siegel content: 

• Hush 
• Oculus 
• V/H/S/Beyond
• Midnight Mass 
• Ouija: Origin of Evil 
• Grave Conversations
• The Haunting of Hill House

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping my ideas for Monster High dolls into the ol’ VCR.

Back in 2010, Mattel first released the original Monster High dolls. Created by toy designer Garrett Sander, Monster High has become one of the most popular franchises with kids and adults alike. 

Over the past 14 years, Monster High has released more than 750 dolls, including an entire collector’s line encompassing a number of movies, like Hocus Pocus, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, and even Bride of Frankenstein. 

And that, friends, is what I’d like to focus on today. 

Instead of diving into all of the animated movies and shows, live-action movies, and merchandise, I want to present five ideas I have for Monster High dolls. 

But first, I do want to mention a criticism of Monster High… 

As with many dolls, one of the controversies of the Monster High line is that the dolls can give kids self-esteem issues because of their unattainable body types. And, I think that criticism is fair. 

Mattel has released more size-inclusive dolls over the years, but Monster High hasn’t really followed suit. 

I will point out that in Monster High: The Movie, Frankie Stein is introduced as non-binary, which I think is a step in the right direction. 

Additionally, I think that since the Monster High dolls (outside of Clawdeen, and some of the pop culture-inspired dolls) aren’t human, that can be used as an explanation to why their body types aren’t realistic. 

However, I do still think the criticism is valid, and I would love to see more size-inclusive dolls from Monster High in the future. 

I digress. 

I have five ideas for dolls that I think Monster High should release, purely for selfish reasons. 

But, I also think they’d sell really well. 🤷‍♀️

Alrighty, I think that’ll do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are five ideas for Monster High dolls that I’d love to see: 

Jennifer Check from Jennifer’s Body 

I mean, come on. I can see the entire concept in my head. They could do the white dress and the long, white gloves from the pool scene, and if the blood was too much for kids, you would still totally know who she was. 

Casey Becker from Scream 

Although Casey only appears in the cold open of Scream, she’s one of the first characters that comes to mind when people think of the original movie. You could even have the cordless phone and popcorn as accessories. Out of all the ideas I’m pitching, I think this doll would be the one to immediately sell out. 

Mothman 

Hear me out. If you’re a Dragula fan, you’ll remember that in the final floor show of season two, Biqtch Pudding did a Mothman-esque look, and THAT’S what I’m thinking for this doll. Cool red glasses, big black hair, etc…I really think this could work. 

Carmella Creeper 

Carmella Creeper sounds like she should already be a Monster High doll. Adding her to the collector’s crew would also open the door for more General Mills Monsters collabs, and there’s the potential for a Monster High cereal crossover as well….

Mary Lou Maloney from Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II

Okay, okay. I’ll admit that this is my pie-in-the-sky pitch. If you don’t know, Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II is probably one of my favorite horror movies of all time (even though I recently had to cut it for a piece 😞). I understand that there are a million reasons why they would never make this doll, and it would have to be Mary Lou pre-burns, but I’m begging. 

After watching Daddy’s Head recently, I’ve come to realize that I’ve come to respect what I call family trauma horror. 

I consider family trauma horror to include movies, like Hereditary, where the big bad manifests as a result of tension, grief, or another major familial event. 

It’s almost like the traditional horror components are a secondary character and/or are used as metaphors and symbolism for the bigger issues at play. 

They have a very specific feel to them, and I think you’ll understand what I mean when we get to my list. 

Before we get too far in, I want to go ahead and give some CWs/TWs. 

These movies contain one, if not multiple of, the following, so I advise looking up the synopses before watching, or having someone you trust that isn’t triggered watch first: 

Grief, child ab*s*, child death, SA, incest, extreme gore and violence, r*pe, su*c*d*, murder, child endangerment, child mol*st*t*on, and all like topics 

There are themes and parts of these movies that are extremely heavy, so please proceed with caution. 

And just as a note, please don’t ever feel obligated to watch any of the movies on these lists. Do what’s best for you, and I promise that if these movies are triggering, we also talk about others that aren’t, so take care of yourselves. 🖤

Without further ado, here are 10 family trauma horror movies:

• Relic 
• Possum
• Midsommar
• The Lodge 
• Hereditary 
• Daddy’s Head 
• The Babadook
• Hold Your Breath
• What Josiah Saw 
• We Need To Do Something

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my brother-in-law’s favorite horror movies into the ol’ VCR.

As many of you know, two of my favorite people were born on October 17th: KP (my mom) and my brother-in-law, Matt. 

I still miss KP every single day, and her death is really hitting me hard this year…especially during spooky season. 

She would send me a giant care package every September, and she was a big horror fan, so as much as I love this time of year, it’s also hard for me. 

But, as much as I love and miss KP, today, I really want to focus on Matt. 

Because of the age gap between my sister and me, Matt has been in my life more than he hasn’t. 

And from the beginning, Matt has always been one of my horror buddies. 

He took me to see Paranormal Activity (with KP’s blessing) because I wasn’t old enough to get in without an adult, let me borrow his DVDs (most of which I gave back), and was always down to talk all things spooky. 

That’s why I thought I would let Matt speak for himself, in a way. 

I asked Matt to send me a list of 10 of his favorite horror movies so that y’all could get some recommendations from another horror fan for once. 

According to Matt, this list is in no particular order, “except Halloween at #1,” and that “these are all films [he] can watch over and over.” 

However, like I always say with my lists, he said, and I quote, “Ok, this was tough.” 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, in honor of his birthday, here are 10 of Matt’s favorite horror movies: 

Happy Birthday KP and Matt 🖤

• Halloween (‘78) 
• Friday the 13th Part 4 
• Scream (‘96) 
• The Devil’s Rejects 
• Nightmare on Elm Street (‘84 obviously) 
• Return of the Living Dead
• An American Werewolf in London 
• Bride of Frankenstein 
• Fright Night (‘85) 
• The Evil Dead

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite horror content-inspired songs to the ol’ VCR.

Listen, I know that everyone doesn’t has an 18-hour-long Halloween playlist like I do. 

Yes, I’m serious. 

But, if you’re looking for some horror content-inspired jams to rock out to this season, you’ve come to the right place. 

All of these songs are based on horror content, with one even being sung by the subject himself. 

Additionally, these songs range from punk to 80s glam rock, once again proving that variety is the spice of life. 

Some of these songs were even used in their corresponding movies, or, in the case of  “Living Dead Girl,” were played during movies that they didn’t draw inspiration from like Bride of Chucky. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions. 

Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite horror content-inspired songs to get your skeleton swinging:

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the General Mills Monsters into the ol’ VCR (again).

As promised in our General Mills Monsters IRL piece, we’re back with a piece about the actual history of our favorite creepy crew. 

The General Mills Monsters first broke out on the scene in the spring of 1971 with Franken Berry and Count Alfred Chocula. 

Yes, friends, Count Chocula has a first name that I wasn’t aware of until today. 

Moving on. 

Soon after their release, the recipe for Franken Berry had to be reformatted after turning kids’ poop pink. 

Again, I’m learning so much today. 

Boo Berry (gag) joined the line-up soon after the pink poop incident, with Frute Brute following behind in 1974. 

However, in 1987, Frute Brute was replaced with Fruity Yummy Mummy (the scandal). 

Video source: RPGs for Raccoons

The fact that Fruity Yummy Mummy sounds like Harvey Fierstein is incredible. 

Five years later, Fruity Yummy Mummy would suffer the same fate as its predecessor, and was also discontinued (the drama). 

The line-up would remain the same until 2023 when Carmella Creeper joined our boys (including her cousin, Franken Berry) to inject a little girl power to the GMM Club. 

There have also been special releases over the years, like the Monster Mash cereal to celebrate our monsters’ 50th anniversary, and limited releases of Frute Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy, as well as a wide array of box art. 

Video source: Zexeez

Additionally, this year marked the arrival of pets for our core four that are absolutely adorable, and I will probably need to get one or more of them tattooed at some point. 

For the past 14 years, Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry have been a beacon of the impending fall season for those of us spooky babies. 

I know that seeing the General Mills Monsters creep onto shelves always puts a smile on my face. 

But, I am thankful that it doesn’t turn my poop pink.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of The Soska Sisters into the ol’ VCR.

On April 29, 1983, Sylvia and Jen Soska were, but you probably know them better as The Soska Sisters (or maybe even The Twisted Twins). 

The Soska Sisters grew up in Canada and seemed to show a love for horror from a very young age. 

Outside of that, I couldn’t really find a lot of information about their early lives. 

The Soska Sisters started out working as extras and taking minor roles in films like Josie and the Pussycats (they’re the twins who make fun of Josie and then show up to her hotel room – just an FYI), but they were unhappy with the lack of substantial roles up for grabs. 

And, I can only imagine what kind of roles were being extended to the twins. 

Then, in 2009, IFC released The Soska Sisters’ Dead Hooker in a Trunk, a film they wrote, directed, and starred in. The film was developed from a Grindhouse-esque trailer that was to serve as a final film project. 

From there, The Soska Sisters would go on to write and direct a personal favorite of mine, American Mary, which cemented their badass and unique filmmaking style. 

There’s not much more that I can say about The Soska Sisters that hasn’t already been said. 

Sylvia and Jen, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤

Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Soska Sisters content*: 

*Note: Similar to Jordan Peele’s spotlight, I’m pulling from all the content The Soska Sisters have been a part of, not just the content they’ve directed.

• Rabid 
• Hellevator
• American Mary
• Festival of the Dead 
• Josie and the Pussycats
