Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping possession movies into the ol’ VCR.

Along with Antichrist movies, the possession genre is seeing a big resurgence in the horrorsphere. 

In fact, I can name 2-3 exorcism/possession movies slated for a 2025 release off the top of my head. One even comes complete with Dan Stevens, so ya girl can’t be mad at it. 

I think this resurgence probably has to do with a lot of the same reasons as Antichrist films, but I’ll save my soapbox for another day. 

Now, this list was actually tricky for me, friends. 

So, I want to give you a look into the method behind my madness. 

There were a lot of movies I thought about including on this list, but I decided to keep it as close to the traditional formula of demons/malevolent entities taking over someone’s person. 

I know Jennifer’s Body, The Faculty, Paranormal Activity, and a slew of others could’ve fit the bill, but they don’t immediately come to mind when I think of possession movies (even though they totally still count). 

Jennifer just essentially shows her true colors. The students of Herrington High are controlled by alien creatures. And, Paranormal Activity is like reading an AITA post written by a douchebag who continues to torment his girlfriend but doesn’t want to rectify his behavior (it did scare the shit out of me the first time I saw it though, NGL). 

So, I decided to make my parameters more along the lines of a full-body takeover by someone who yells that your mother does profane things from the afterlife, makes your head spin, turns you into a violent and uncontrollable being…all that fun stuff. 

Finally, I know it’s probably controversial that I included The Amityville Horror (1979) on here, but I love that movie so much, and I think it totally counts. 

ALRIGHTY, that should do us for disclaimers today. 

Without further ado, here are 10 possession movies that will have you spewing split pea soup with the best of them: 

• Talk to Me
• Puppet Man 
• The Exorcist 
• Suitable Flesh 
• The Conjuring 
• The Last Exorcist
• Ava’s Possessions 
• Courtney Gets Possessed
• The Amityville Horror (1979) 
• The Taking of Deborah Logan

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping high school mean girls into the ol’ VCR.

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of teen movies, and someone who survived a small-town high school, I’m all too familiar with the trope of the high school mean girl. 

The stereotypical mean girl is hot, rich, and, more often than not, downright evil.* 

*Redemption arc NOT guaranteed

Everyone in school wants to be her or be with her, while also both hating and loving her. 

She’s also usually untouchable, as everyone is afraid of her. 

The fact that Smosh comes up first when you search “Courtney Shayne” makes me feel 100-years-old

Over the years, Hollywood has given us some ICONIC mean girls. 

You have Courtney Shayne, who taught you to strut your shit like everything was peachy fuckin’ keen. 

You have Regina George, who was hit by a bus and still looks like a rockstar. 

You have Jennifer Check, who gets turned into a bisexual succubus. 

Y’know, the usual. 

Heather Chandler threw up drain cleaner so that all of these other mean girls could run

Mean girls come in all shapes and sizes (including being both human and non-human). 

I’ve created a list of some of my favorite movies with mean girls in order to allow you to watch them from afar. 

This way, you can watch from afar, without having to relive your high school experiences. 

Without further ado, here are 10 mean girls movies to make you grateful you graduated: 

• Bratz 
• Saved!
• Heathers 
• The Craft
• The DUFF 
• Mean Girls
• Jawbreaker
• Jennifer’s Body
• Death of a Cheerleader 
• Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow into the ol’ VCR.

I really, really liked this movie. Let me make that clear. 

However, before we dive into what I Saw the TV Glow is, I want to say what it is NOT. 

It’s not: 

• A traditional horror movie 
• A movie with a straightforward plot 
• A way to relax your brain for 100 or so minutes 
• A movie for everyone (not in a pretentious way) 

I Saw the TV Glow IS: 

• At times, IMO, performance art (in a good way) 
• One of the most unique movies I’ve seen in a long time 
• Full of metaphors and symbolism for being queer and trans
• A movie that you’ll be analyzing long after the credits roll 

I think it’s important to have these callouts up top because, based on some conversations I overheard when leaving the theater, I’m worried this movie is going to get a bad rep. 

In A24’s defense, this is a hard movie to package into a trailer. 

You need a lot of context, but you also don’t want to spoil any of the major details. I get it. 

But, to talk about this movie, I am gonna have to spoil some things. As always, I’ll try to keep things as spoiler free as possible, but I can’t give my full thoughts on this one without revealing a bit of the plot. 

If you aren’t familiar with this one, I Saw the TV Glow tells the story of Maddy (Brigette Lundy-Paine), Owen (Justice Smith), and their favorite TV show, The Pink Opaque. However, it’s so much more than that. 

It’s a love letter to closeted, queer kids like me who religiously watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer every single week and spent their weekends watching bargain bin horror movies with all of their friends and/or moms. 

It’s an ode to the misfits and the outcasts who are doing the best they can with what they have. 

This is where the spoilers come in. 

If you don’t want to know more about the plot, jump down to the paragraph that starts with “On the more literal side of things…” 

It’s also all a metaphor for the trans experience. 

Now, I’m not trans, so I’m not here to comment on the validity or accuracy of anyone’s experience. I would never want to assume or make generalizations because everyone’s journey is different. I’m only going to comment on the symbolism as it pertains to the film. 

I digress. 

The Pink Opaque isn’t just a show for Owen; it’s his shared experiences with Maddy. Throughout the film, we uncover that Owen is trans, and The Pink Opaque isn’t just a show; it’s his and Maddy’s lived experiences. 

They both wanted to be Tara and Isabel, the title characters. Isabel represents who Owen wishes he could be but is too afraid to become. Additionally, Owen’s father is portrayed as unaccepting and borderline, if not fully, abusive. 

In Maddy’s basement, for a few hours a week, Owen gets to be who he truly is. 

The colors of the trans and genderfluid pride flags are also prominent throughout the film, from the very beginning. 

The real horror in I Saw the TV Glow is Owen’s internal (and sometimes, external) battles. 

On the more literal side of things, I want to give the biggest kudos to all of The Pink Opaque sequences. My GOD, did they nail that specific era of supernatural/paranormal/sexy shows. Also, they even perfectly capture the band performances we saw at P3 in Charmed, lest we forget. 

I don’t really have any movies to compare I Saw the TV Glow to. Really. I think it finds a kindred spirit in The People’s Joker because they both share a vulnerability, but they’re still two completely different films. 

There’s also a bit of a VHYes feel at times, but, again, these two movies still stand alone. 

I do recommend seeing this one in the theater, if you’re able, because I think it elevated the viewing experience even more. 

And I’m not just saying that because a cute server complimented the outfit I wasn’t 100% sold on. 

My only criticism would be that a couple of the monologues drag, ever so slightly. But, that didn’t ruin the movie for me in the least. 

I’m also just a silly goose who writes about pop culture on the internet, so what do I know?

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping bad moms into the ol’ VCR.

Friends, Mother’s Day weekend is upon us. 

It’s different for me because, um, my mother is deceased, but it’s still a day to celebrate the maternal figure in your life (if you want to). 

However, what if your mom isn’t your mom? 

What if she’s a little complicated?

What if she makes obscene prank calls to your neighbors?

You know, Moms, right?

A true mother always has her arms wide open to give you a hug

If you said “yes” to one or all of these questions, do we have a list for you. 

That’s right, we’re talking about HORROR MOMS. 

If you thought this was going to be a sentimental piece, just remember, this is the B Movies Blog after all. 

Whether your mother is unknowingly part of a satanic cult or starts picking off campers to avenge your tragic death, these movies are perfect for any impending Mother’s Day celebrations. 

Without further ado, show your mom you love her by introducing her to one (or more) of these malicious mommies*: 

• Carrie (1976)
• Goodnight Mommy (2014 AND 2022 – Sorry, but Naomi killed it, y’all) 
• Hereditary 
• Serial Mom 
• Friday the 13th 
• Dead Alive (Or Braindead — pick your poison) 
• Evil Dead Rise
• Coraline 
• Haunting Sarah

*I didn’t enjoy writing that anymore than you enjoyed reading it

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

So, I have an apology to make. 

Sam Rockwell, I am SO SORRY that I didn’t add you to my celebrity crush list. 

You should’ve absolutely been on it, and for that, I deeply apologize. 

Okay, whew. It feels so good to get that off my chest. 

Where do we even begin with Sam Rockwell, our national treasure?

If the dance scene in Charlie’s Angels doesn’t do it for you, I don’t know what to say

He’s a hell of an actor, and I feel like Sam Rockwell is the prototype for actors like Glen Powell. 

Yeah, I said what I said. 

Anyway, there’s not a lot more I can say about a man whose career spans from playing Bob Fosse to drawing red lips over the duct tape on Drew Barrymore’s mouth. 

Not to mention, that’s Academy Award Winner Sam Rockwell, to you. 

Okay, I feel like there are only so many ways that I can say Sam Rockwell is hot, talented, and charming. 

So, I’ll say it one more time: Sam Rockwell is hot, talented, and charming. 

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite Sam Rockwell movies: 

• Moon
• Choke
• Laggies 
• Iron Man 2 
• Galaxy Quest 
• The Bad Guys 
• The Green Mile 
• Gentleman Broncos 
• Seven Psychopaths
• Charlie’s Angels (2000) 
• Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping video game adaptations into the ol’ VCR.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a Gamer Girlie, but I do like watching let’s plays/playthroughs on YouTube. 

However, as with books, if you make a video game into a movie or show, I’ll more than likely watch it. 

Also, the video game adaptations from the past couple of years are next level compared to the ones I grew up with. 

I obviously have a soft spot for things like House of the Dead because I grew up playing the arcade game at my hometown’s skating rink. 

Additionally, I will watch every single Resident Evil movie you throw at me without shame. The early ones are obviously better, but KP and I have seen every movie in the series. 

Over the years, video game adaptations, particularly series, have really stepped up their game. I’m honestly obsessed with Fallout to the point that I’ve added an ungodly amount of merch to my Amazon cart. 

You should also totally watch last week’s B Movies Channel video to hear more about my review of Fallout. 

I digress. 

I do want to quickly give an honorable mention to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. It’s not based on a video game, but it’s so video game-oriented that I think I legally need to mention it. It’s also just one of the best movies ever. 

Plus, I forgot to mention it in the book adaptation piece, and I feel like I’ve let the team down. 

Alrighty, I think that should cover us. 

Without further ado, put down the joystick, grab a Mountain Dew, and check out these video game adaptations: 

• Fallout 
• Silent Hill 
• Twisted Metal 
• Tomb Raider 
• Castlevania 
• Resident Evil – include zombies piece 
• The Last of Us 
• House of the Dead 
• The Cuphead Show 
• Super Mario Bros. (1993) 
• The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping prom movies into the ol’ VCR.

Ah yes. The pollen count is high. Stores are putting out July 4th decorations. I’m complaining about the humidity. 

So, it must be that magical time of the year — prom season. 

I will admit that I did go to prom my junior and senior year. My junior prom was a bit rocky, but my senior prom honestly ruled. I went with one of my best friends at the time, we ate at Logan’s Roadhouse, and my corsage was made on a checkered slap bracelet. 

I even went to Morp a couple of times and honestly loved it. 

If I had a nickel for every time this picture has made an appearance on the B Movies Blog, I’d have two nickels. It’s not a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice 

However, I was fortunate to have the experiences I did. I know that some people have traumatic experiences. 

Looking back, the worst thing that happened to me was having a t-shirt accidentally thrown in my face senior year and a little bit of date difficulties my junior year. 

I digress. 

With prom season on the horizon, I wanted to assemble some of my favorite prom movies. 

I can’t ever go to my high school reunion because I will absolutely pop off like Romy does 

Now, as with almost every list we make here at B Movies, there are a couple of disclaimers. 

First and foremost, yes, I am well aware that not all of these movies solely focus on prom. But, movies like Jawbreaker and Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion have iconic prom scenes. There’s no world in which I was going to leave them out. 

Secondly, yes, I know I was probably a little picky. Movies like Never Been Kissed have a prom/dance, but I felt weird including it because of the connotation of dancing with her teacher. It just didn’t feel like this was the time or place. 

Finally, I do want to give an honorable mention to Lady Bird. I was torn on whether or not to include it on the official list, but I decided to just call it out here. 

Alrighty, that should do it! Without further ado, cue the getting ready montage. It’s time to go to prom: 

• Prom
• Carrie (1976) 
• Prom Dates  
• Prom Night (1980) 
• Prom Pact
• Jawbreaker 
• Pretty in Pink 
• Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II 
• High School Musical 3: Senior Year
• Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping disappearance content into the ol’ VCR.

CW/TW: missing people, SA, grooming, kidnapping, gore, and all like topics 

It’s no secret that true crime has been popular for a while now. 

However, there’s a subgenre of fictionalized true crime I want to focus on today: disappearance content. 

What do I mean by “disappearance content”? 

Well, friends, let me explain… 

I’ve been noticing a trend in shows that focus on a fictionalized disappearance. 

Some of them feel like they could be ripped from a news headline, while others use a disappearance as the jumping off point for a supernatural or slasher storyline. 

Now, I want to give a disclaimer here. 

I know that people go missing every single day, and I’m not here to make fun of or be insensitive to real missing persons cases. 

I can’t imagine losing someone and never getting closure. Saying it must be one of the hardest things a person can go through feels like an understatement. 

Secondly, I did include some CW/TWs up top. These especially apply to the first season of Cruel Summer. 

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

Without further ado, here are five disappearance-based shows to check out: 

• Wreck (Hulu) 
• Dead Hot (Tubi) 
• Search Party (Max)
• Cruel Summer (Hulu) 
• Channel Zero: Candle Cove (Shudder and AMC+)

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping camp content into the ol’ VCR.

Friends, as summer draws ever nearer (again, it’s somehow already MAY), the smell of sunblock and the sounds of weird, cheerful songs can be heard all the way from the mess hall. 

That’s right. We’re covering camp content today. 

I went to camp many a’ time in my day. 

Camp Fire camp, Baptist Church camp, Methodist Church camp, you name it. 

(And I’ll admit that Methodist Church camp was where it’s at – I obviously don’t support those who are on the wrong side of the split, though) 

My camp experiences were good, for the most part…except for when they laid hands on me at the Baptist Church camp. I still think about it to this very day. I also know how fortunate I am that this was the worst thing to happen to me at a Christian summer camp. 

Moving on. 

The feeling of going to camp as a kid is unexplainable as an adult. For a full week, you got to swim, make lanyards, and participate in some of the silliest stuff imaginable. 

It ruled. 

I also had one of my first crushes on a girl at summer camp, and I still think about how I didn’t understand what was happening to this very day. 

Ah yes, summer camp. 

If you want to reminisce like me, or if you never had the chance to go to camp as a kid (I was partially, if not fully, scholarshipped a couple of times, so I understand), I wanted to give you the chance to see what camp was like. 

Let me say a couple of things up top: 

1. I was never stalked by the broken mother of a drowned camper. 
2. I never discovered I was an identical twin during an intense fencing match. 
3. I never had to help an associate professor divert a giant asteroid to avoid the camp being squashed, nor did our cook gain confidence from a talking can of vegetables. 

Lastly, as always, some of these movies have scenes and/or dialogue that didn’t age well. I more than recognize that. 

Alrighty, that should be enough disclaimers and introductions. 

Without further ado, grab your shower flip flops, and I’ll meet you on The Blob to watch these shows and movies: 

• It Takes Two 
• Heavyweights 
• Theater Camp
• Scaredy Camp 
• Friday the 13th
• Camp Nowhere  
• The Parent Trap (1998)
• Sleepaway Camp
• Salute Your Shorts
• Ernest Goes to Camp
• Wet Hot American Summer 
• Fear Street: Part Two – 1978 
• As Told By Ginger: Season of Caprice

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping cheerleader movies into the ol’ VCR.

Ready? Okay! 

Sorry, I had to. 

I recently went to the Drafthouse (shocker), and the trailer for Satan’s Cheerleaders was included in a pre-show. 

Video source: Grindhouse Theater

That’s when it hit me. 

We did a piece about movies we’d love to see get the Bring It On: Cheer or Die treatment, but we’ve never done a piece about cheerleader movies. 

Now, what do I mean by cheerleader movies?

These are movies where cheerleading is the focal point and/or plays a pivotal role in the storyline. 

Sure, Bottoms and Can’t Buy Me Love both have cheerleaders, but they aren’t a focal point. 

To play devil’s advocate, you could also argue that Death of a Cheerleader and Satan’s Cheerleaders don’t count. 

Video source: Multicom Entertainment 

My counterargument is that they both have the word “cheerleader” in the title…so…yeah. 

Moving on. 

For one final disclaimer, some of these movies are from the early to mid-aughts. There are going to be things that don’t hold up.

I think that should do it. 

Without further ado, grab your pom poms and enjoy these cheerleader movies: 

• Fired Up! 
• Bring It On
• Sugar & Spice 
• Man of the House 
• All Cheerleaders Die 
• Satan’s Cheerleaders 
• But I’m a Cheerleader

Death of a Cheerleader aka A Friend to Die For (1994)
