Bright Side of the Moon: The Crow – A Tragic Halloween Lovestory
“Buildings burn, people die. But real love is forever” – The Crow, 1994 There’s a movie that takes a very special place in my heart – it resides on a high place in my list of favourites, something that very few movies are able to achieve: The Crow, 1994. I don’t watch this movie only when it’s Halloween – I know many call it horror, fantasy or even action, but I call it, deep down, a love story. After all, it was the romance of Eric Draven that made him come back from the dead to avenge his own death and the horrors against his fiancee, Shelly Webster, one day…

Bright Side of the Moon: The Exorcist – A Story of Possesion and Fear
For the Bright Side of the Moon – on contrary to the extremely funny trashy so bad it’s good movie I brought to the Dark Side of the Moon – on this post, both the book and the movie are good, which is one of the titles that I couldn’t watch more than two times. It’s something that really gets to me. The Exorcist, if it’s not the best horror movie, is super on the top of the ranking. From 1973, it’s based on the book with the same name, that was published in 1971 – inspired on the registers of a supposedly real case, from 1949, in which a…

Bright Side of the Moon: The Witches – Witches Spend Their Time Plotting Against Little Children
“Real witches dress with normal clothes and look a lot like normal women. They live in normal houses and work in normal jobs.” – The Witches (translated from Portuguese) Today’s post brings a very special and new column – apart from being one of my favourites. I, Sel, bring you today on my Bright Side of the Moon, a movie that was part of my childhood and got me pretty scared for a while. Nevertheless, it never lost its number one position of Halloween movies. Today we’ll talk about The Wiches. Are you ready to disembark on a hotel filled with witches that like to exterminate little children? No? Well,…

Dark Side of the Moon: House of the Dead (I watched it so you don’t have to)
I, Artemis, was going to bring you the lost pearl that is Piranha 3D. But I found a movie even better to debut my Dark Side of the Moon: House of the Dead. The Dark Side of the Moon will be our special column here in the blog to talk about everything trashy: movies, books, animes, series… Any type of media that is bad – really bad or “so bad that is good” – will be a part of this column. I had heard tales about this movie – that it was one of the worst things to exist on movie horror – but I really thought “look, it mustn’t…

Dark Side of The Moon: The Killer Condom – Horror, Comedy, Romance or Collective Hallucination?
Yes, you read it right, for our Halloween Special I bring to our lunar lands this horror movie – that looks more like a comedy – that, if it wasn’t about condoms that tear out (you know, right?), it would easily be a classic of afternoon movies on Brazilian TV. Killer Condom is a 1996 trash movie. From Germany, it’s based on the comics Kondom des Grauens e Bis auf die Knochen by Ralf König. And on my opinion, it’s more of a comedy, a little porn even, than a horror. It also brings in its core a social point, that, for the time, and for being treated so naturally,…

Dark Side of the Moon: House of Wax – The Wax Melts as Your Sleep Appears
Okay, I’ll start my first post of the Dark Side of the Moon saying that I wouldn’t dare trash talking anything that Jared Padalecki appears, but I couldn’t stop myself on bringing this movie to debut this blog column. That’s right, as weird as it sounds, I’m not a fan of House of Wax. Like, I agree, it isn’t the worst of the worst – a lot of people like it – but I can’t love it that much. Even though the cast is great, I can’t. That’s why I’m pretty sure it belongs on the Dark Side of the Moon for many reasons to my eyes. Are you ready…

Lunar Popcorn: Svaha: The Sixth Finger – Halloween Week
Our Halloween week hasn’t got to its end yet and my post is here to prove that. Ok, I might have chosen a not so scary movie, but it’s super worth watching – during quarentine or not. The theme we’ll get into today is a little different, but still envolves ghosts and a lot of psychological pressure. Sixth Finger is a horror movie with religious content – that’s right; I bet you’ve watched Constantine and other movies with that content, but never watched one that comes from Buddhist beliefs. And certainly, this was also the first time I ventured in a theme like that, coming from South Korean lands. Are…

Dracula: From Real Life to Books and Movies – Halloween Week
Who never saw something about Count Dracula? Halloween is populated by vampires and Dracula is, without doubts, the most famous among them. What is less known, is that the famous vampire’s story was based on a man from real life – Vlad Țepeș. The legend took such great proportions that it became the famous book by Bram Stoker – thus, giving flow to the creation of many other books, animes, theater performances, comic books and many other media types. Beeing a horror icon, I decided to make this post a little bit different to bring it to you today! I, Artemis, am an incurable fangirl of everything related to Dracula…

Lunar Popcorn: Marianne, the Cursed Witch! – Halloween Week
We’ve got to the beginning of Halloween week and you can already notice that with Hekate here, things are never conventional. So, if you got here by browsing our blog and thought “hmm, beginning of Halloween week, must be a post about old american movies.”, I’m sorry to disappoint you – but I already invite you to get on this train with me. We’ll make a trip to French lands, where this series originates from and which is the main theme of this post. Those who love all things horror, supernatural, and in a certain way disturbing, and Netflix, might already have heard of Marianne. The French series, that premiered…
