TERROR IN THE AISLES at 35
by Gena Radcliffe
I can’t remember the name of it, but I can tell you exactly what it looked like, or I might be conflating it with other small-town Mom ‘n’ Pop video stores, they all looked the same then. A tiny little place, with just two aisles, not much in the way of foreign or “art” films, and a curtained off area in the back ominously marked “NO ONE UNDER 18 PERMITTED.”

Great Horror Performances: Simon Pegg in SHAUN OF THE DEAD
by Michael Pomaro
Anyone who has known me for more than 10 minutes knows that Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead is one of my favorite movies. No matter how many times I watch it, and I watch it a lot, I discover new things to love about it. My wife and I caught it on cable a few weeks ago, so naturally we left it on. It was on this viewing that Simon Pegg’s performance stuck out to me in ways it never has before and it left me wondering why.

Great Horror Performances: David Naughton in AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON
by Jan Bottiglieri
When it comes to horror films, my advanced age (achieved through balanced diet, fresh air, and an ancient demonic curse) gives me a slight advantage. For many of the 1980s-era (era) classics, my first watch was not on a VHS rental at a slumber party full of pre-teens, but in a giant darkened theatre full of other adults. An American Werewolf in London is one such film, and let me tell you—when this film was released in 1981, the audience reaction was NUTS. Zombie Nazis machine-gunning children? A werewolf transformation, complete with nonstop screaming? Wise-cracking corpses, decapitated policemen, and full-frontal nude male balloon stealing? Yes, please!
