The Skeleton Boys

A couple loses their children! A local legend! The kids return...changed! This week the boys wonder the caves of Tijuana but venture too deep, so "Here Comes the Devil"! 
 
Adrian Garcia Bogliano is influenced by 1970s and 80s exploitation movies. It's moody and unapologetically graphic. It's the type of movie that gets people talking but does it stand out in an endless parade of  dreck that passes for horror?

In TV corner, the boys check out Netflix's "Archive 81" season 1, episode 1! And so much more!!

A group of college kids! Army fatigue killer! 35 year-old double murder! This week the boys attend a graduation ball, only to get stalked by the "The Prowler"!

A young nurse! Planned power outage! A crumbing hospital! This week, the boys join the work force as a couple of nurses in 1974, but someone has switched off, "The Power"!

The time and setting is essential to this moody haunted house movie. Corinna Faith, writer and director,  adds many small layers that are frighting and thought provoking but is this a satisfying journey into darkness?

Traumatized young boy! Murderous toy maker! Mickey Rooney! This week,the boys can't leave Christmas beyond and witness, "Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker"!

Plus, We look at the horror short "Proceeds of Crime"! (We think this is the title?) And so much more!!
