We review this Sci-fi channel classic.

He destroyed major monuments from all over the world, brought dinosaurs, myths, and monsters to life for millions to be regaled by. He's the driving factor in a lot of our love for creatures. He is Ray Harryhausen, the titan of stop motion. We countdown our 10 personal favorites from this man who's body of work is as titanic as his creations.

This movie began my fandom of Neil Marshall's films. Soldiers, werewolves, and a siege story - what's not to love!

Before John Carpenter adapted Who Goes There into The Thing, Howard Hawks gave us this amazing adaptation that takes a very different approach.

A classic staple for kids in the 80s and early 90s. Join us as we delve into this film with top notch actors, amazing effects, and a depth of story-telling.

A book by Jules Verne with effects by Ray Harryhausen, this ones a no-brainer. We had to do it.

Corey Haim and Gary Busey at his Busey-est team up to to take on a werewolf in this Stephen King adaptation.

One of the founding partners of ILM provided special effects for this early 70s film. An early example of the cabin in the woods movies. Listen in to hear what we thought.

In 1968, Peter Cushing starred in a film that tried to imitate the Hammer Horror formula. Join us to see if The Blood Beast Terror can accomplish it's lofty goal.

Cirio Santiago created this film in 1987. The Demon in Paradise is definitely something unique. Listen along and see if you agree.
