You thought it was going to be ‘You’ve got to be fucking kidding’ didn’t you?  And to be fair to you, that’s a great quote that sums up possibly the maddest scene from any body horror film ever made.  It’s just so perfectly timed and sums up exactly what you, […]

Quote of the Day! – The Thing

“Dry hair’s for squids” – Wise words from Jack Deth (played by Tim Thomerson) in Trancers (1985). Trancers is a crazy tale about Jack Deth, a cop from the future who turns up in ’80s Los Angeles to hunt down his nemesis, a psychic criminal who turns people into the […]

Quote of the Day! – Trancers

We’re The ’80s Movie Club and we love The Thing. You do too.  Everyone does, surely.  It’s the best horror film ever made. Fact. It may also be the best film ever made. It’s so good that it even spawned a fairly credible follow up (ssh!  The Thing 2011 is […]

When we started T8MC back in, eek!, 2013 the primary reason was to discover films that we would have loved if we’d seen them back when they came out.  Back then your VHS tape rental shop of choice had a finite selection which is why you ended up renting out […]

Leviathan (1989)

You may have noticed that occasionally we like to break our Eighties remit here at T8MC and usually that’ll be when there’s a portmanteau film that needs to be watched.  If you’re unfamiliar with the term, a portmanteau film is one of those movies that is comprised of individual stories […]

The T8MC Ultimate Guide to Portmanteau/Horror Anthology Movies

4 comments

We quite enjoyed watching the original V/H/S, which was a five part anthology with a linking story that saw a group of men in a house being exposed to a series of creepy short films.  The overall quality was variable of course, I mean that’s what portmanteaus are all about, but […]

Portmanteau-a-go-go #36 – V/H/S/2 (2013)

Despite owning Aliens multiple times (ex-rental VHS, retail VHS, DVD boxsets, Blu-ray Anthology), I ended up watching it over the weekend because it was on television. The the thing is that, much like Big Trouble in Little China, when it starts you can’t look away. Even if it means enduring […]

While all the cool kids know that the ’80s is the best decade for movies, it would be remiss of us to not throw some love at the ’70s.  Sure, it was the worst decade.  Full of prog and glam rock, racist TV sitcoms, shamed radio DJs and it was […]

T8MC’s favourite ’70s films

Back in the actual ’90s, I was staying up a bit later than I should have been on a college night and found myself watching By The Sword, an Eric Roberts fencing movie.  It took a while for me to realise that I was watching greatness and so, some 45 […]

By The Sword (1991)

The ’80s has to be the golden age for fight flicks. Sure, the hardcore will go on about the kung fu films of the ’70s (and to be fair Enter The Dragon will always be the greatest fighting film of all time) and they still make all those post-Crouching Tiger […]

This curious compilation of global horror shorts features eight stories each from different directors but produced by Tim League and Ant Timpson, the producers of The ABCs of Death.  While there is no linking story on offer here but, unusually for a horror anthology, the stories are thematically linked, focusing on […]

Portmanteau-a-go-go #35 – The Field Guide to Evil (2018)

Nighmare Cinema is a 2018 five part portmanteau which mixes up a whole heap of classic horror tropes into a two hour anthology with each part having a separate writer and director.  That’s pretty much the Creepshow formula right there and so we were excited to check this one out […]
