DOOMSDAY

This horror fan has the odd quirk of keeping a “wine list” of movies for each part of the year. It is not such a bad habit, as it helps guide a viewer to pick a movie that works best for them at a particular time of year. Very weird if one thinks about it for a few seconds.

The beginning of the year brings about the kaiju eiga “leftovers” as the rest of what was to be a re-creation of the TNT MonsterVision’s Godzilla marathon for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day (and that shipment of movies came just in time). In addition, this reviewer watches several movies purchased at the old Fangoria (the magazine) conventions (the Weekend of Horrors). Those films include Dr. Butcher MD (aka Zombi Holocaust, 1981), Ruggiero Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust (1979), Oasis of the Zombies (1982), among others.

Other movies that seem to have a place during this uneventful time of year include the dark, cold mansion films like Dr. Jekyll’s Dungeon of Death (1982), The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism (1967), Dr. Tarr’s Torture Dungeon (1970), The Man With Two Heads (1972), Re-Animator (1985), The Exorcist (1973; 2000), Mark of the Devil (1970), and so many more…..
