Michigan Horror

Last night, the night before Halloween, I finally decided to watch one of the Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween I'd been putting off. It's a cutesy vampire spoof with Alicia Silverstone, and Kristin Ritter (Jessica Jones), and I knew it wouldn't be scary. It's not, but it is a fun little vampire comedy.

Next up on my list of Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween is the third installment of The Butterfly Effect. Subtitled "Revelations", this movies seems a bit more straightforward than the original, where every time Ashton Kutcher goes back in time, his life gets more and more screwed up. This time, a different guy goes back, and seems to have his s*** together a bit better. Okay, not rea

This next Michigan Horror Movie for Halloween is a tricky one, in a few ways. First off, it has different names, either "The Chaos Experiment", or "The Steam Experiment". Second, you can't stream the damn thing to be able to watch it. If you have Netflix DVD delivery, you can get it.

I was pleasantly surprised by this entry in my series on Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween. Not that Cyrus had a huge budget, or was an amazing film, but that the cast has some real actors in in, and that it's not the worst story ever. I was surprised to see the amazing Lance Henriksen, but then again he's been in just about every movie in the last 40 years.

So, Hostel was a big deal in the day, coming in early on the torture-porn genre that swept the world for a few years. It wasn't the most amazing movie, but it did spawn a couple sequels, including one shot in Detroit! Hostel Part III. The least exciting, and probably least graphic, of the series.

Last night, I watched (or I should say, rewatched) a movie for Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween that was shot right here in Grand Rapids! It's called Playback, and featured (but not stars) Christian Slater as a cop/perv, in this decent but not amazing horror movie.

Last night, I watched what had popped up on my Google search on scary movies related to Michigan. I probably should have looked closer into this one, even though it has "Monsters" in the title. I thought, "Great! A monster movie!" Nope...totally a crap movie that just happened to have monsters in the background.

This month, I'm covering some of the horror movies filmed or based in Michigan, to get you ready for Halloween. There have been a LOT of movies filmed or based here, and so far, we've covered some classic and recent movies. Next up, a more pop-culture scary movie, and the fourth in the series. Scream 4.

Yesterday, for Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween, we covered the original The Evil Dead, made by Sam Raimi, and starring Bruce Campbell. The camp, the gore, the fun, the scary...that movie had it all. How do you even remake it? With one of the best new versions ever. Super gory, more serious, surprising character changes...so much blood...Evil Dead, released in 2013, set a new standard for rema

This month, I'm paying tribute to some of the horror movies that have been either filmed in Michigan, take place in Michigan, or both. I've covered some recent films in the first four installments. This time, I'm going way back to 1981, for one of the best horror movies from Michigan... or anywhere! The Evil Dead!

For today's installment of Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween, I watched Jingles the Clown last night. It was made in Ypsilanti, MI, and set in "Michigan", and they weren't very specific, making it "the middle of nowhere". Is anyone going to be mad to not get location credit in this movie? No.

Last night, I checked out another Michigan-made horror movie for October. It's called Jinn, and I was pleasantly surprised! We've already checked out movies from this year and last year, so going back to 2014 for Jinn seems like a reasonable next step!
