B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - THE WILLIES (1990)

A BIG favorite around here, a total B-movie horror anthology classic. Sean Astin and his pals are sitting around a campfire and start to tell each other stories that grossly creep them out. After starting off with several short doosies, the two main stories follow - one about a monster inside the elementary school (with Kathleen Freeman & James Karen.) And the tour de force - the roughly 40 minute long Fly Boy story which is amazing and features a cameo by none other than Clu Gallager. Yes, this movie will certainly give you it's title, But it's does so in a such a fun and not taking ourselves too seriously way, you can't help but love The Willies. Streams on Tubi and is rated PG-13 so older kids will dig this one big time. 2.75 stars/2.75

HORROR REPOST WEEK - LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (2021) - EDGAR WRIGHT COMBINES MID-'60's LONDON WITH GHOSTS IN MIRRORS STORY TO CREATE AN INSTANT PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR CLASSIC


Ellie aspires to be a fashion designer and is accepted into a school in London. Her mom was in the same profession but died and every now and then Ellie sees her in a mirror. She rents a room when she gets to London and every night when she sleeps she crosses over into the mid-60's where she lived as another woman. Or did she? What other kind of ghosts may be in that room? 

If that sounds like it might be your cup of tea then don't pass go and don't collect $200, see it! Visually stunning with echoes of Polanski, Hitchcock and I'll throw in a little Midnight In Paris. Thumbs up, way up on this one, nice to see there's still a filmmaker with imagination out there!  4.0 stars/5
