The ORIGINAL Monster Madness from 1993. My obsession with monster movies started when I was young.

This is a compilation of all the 1980′s themed reviews we did previously for Monster Madness “A History of Horror” in 2007.

Cinemassacre’s Monster Madness returns for it’s 8th year! This time, it’s back to basics, with simple movie reviews and no theme. Instead, a completely random free-for-all, like old times. You’ll never know what to expect! Special thanks to MonsterBuster Entertainment for the kickass stop-motion animation. Stop motion and visual effects - Torey Haas Creature creator and director of photography – Tricia Gaulesky Creature performers – Jay Holloway, Caitlin McPhail and Melissa Oulton Grip – Jackson Baker Also special thanks to Bill Ullo for the awesome animated graphics.

Due to popular request and all the Friday the 13th dates coming up, Cinemassacre will be reviewing all the Friday the 13th movies leading up to February 13th, and then March 13th.

Leading up to February, Friday the 13th, we check out Friday the 13th part 2 today.

Another Friday the 13th is sneaking up on us, coming in for the kill. Watch the rest of the reviews, this week, leading up until Friday (Jason X).

It’s the first day of Fall! Let’s get ready to celebrate the Halloween season, with the 9th annual Monster Madness! This time, it will be another random assortment of movie reviews. Classic horror, New horror, spanning the timeline from 1925-2015. I’ll take care of lots of major league horror titles, and answer many of last year’s requests from the fans.

"Crazy, am I? We'll see whether I'm crazy or not." In this next installment of Logos to life, you'll see the creation of the Monster Madness Logo from original artwork to 3d print. So press play and enjoy....if you dare!

For everyone who remembers staying up late to watch horror movies on TV, this is a true re-creation of the classic TNT MonsterVision intro from 1993. Until now, the only videos of it on YouTube were of poor quality, from old VCR recordings. But now, Cinemassacre has gone through the effort of restoring the intro to its full glory.

This year's Monster Madness will be the 10th and the final marathon to include 31 movie reviews.

The Phantom of the Opera premiered at the Astor theater in New York City, on September 6, 1925. But if you want to get technical, the first cut was shown to a test audience on January 7 and 26 in Los Angeles. On April 26, a 2nd cut was shown at the Curran theater in San Francisco. And finally, the 3rd cut has its 100th anniversary today! In this video, I talk about its convoluted history and sum up the appeal of Lon Chaney's haunting incarnation as the Phantom.

Mike normally streams on Twitch, but he is back this one time to discuss The Haunted Mansion and other spooky Disney stuff with James!

Cinemassacre's Monster Madness is back for the 2025 Halloween season and this year we are taking a trip away from movies for some Screams Not On Screen!
