I watched this film again the other day, and I still marvel at the subtle terror that it engenders. This post first ran in 2018. Just how scary is the 2018 thriller, A Quiet Place? Okay, perhaps you’ve seen a Cox commercial where a woman is watching Stranger Things...

Long before the Great White Shark kept us out of the water, there was the Gill-Man. I first presented this post in 2017. The science fiction and horror movies of the 1950s more than sufficed to scare the crap out of an impressionable kid like me. Foremost among them...
