The Crazy Old Kooks of Horror
When it comes to character types in horror films, the final girls and their assorted sidekicks get most of the attention. But what would horror films be without the ubiquitous crazy old kook? Without them we’d all be DOOMED, I tell you, DOOMED! Here’s a list of my favorites. Mr. Diehl, from The Children of [...]
Most Memorable Horror One Liners Part Two
In part one of this contest, I presented the catchiest, funniest, and most all-around bad ass one liners in horror. In part two, things get a little stranger…. Most Unintentionally Funny Second runner-up: “I’m not going to let Simon hurt ya. Why should he have all the fun?” – Simon, from Simon Says One thing [...]
Most Memorable Horror One Liners Part One
I watched the original Predator a few days ago, a film I adored as a kid, but hadn’t seen since then. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I STILL enjoyed it. The characters are outrageous and exaggerated but likable, the story is simple, and the action is well-paced. But it’s the incredible one-liners that [...]
Horror from the Mountain State
My home state of West Virginia has a violent history. It’s been witness to notorious feuds, such as the one between the Hatfields and the McCoys. It’s been the scene of some of the bloodiest labor uprisings in American history, including an incident at Blair Mountain in which nearly 15,000 coal miners engaged in a [...]
Where Sequels Go To Die
Even the most illustrious horror franchise sometimes run out of ideas, and when they do, there’s apparently a rule in Hollywood that you must set your next sequel in either A) outer space or B) the Old West. I’ll admit that if they ever set a Jaws sequel in the Old West, I’d be pretty [...]
Beauty Product Horrors
i’ve always been slightly confused and bewildered by the world of cosmetics and female beauty products (my wife’s new-found obsession with LUSH handmade cosmetics has not helped with this). however, i have never before been scared of a beauty product. that is, until i stepped into CVS earlier today and saw these hanging in the [...]
Seven Killer Songs
In Irish folklore, the banshee is an apparition whose mournful, wailing song signals someone’s recent death. In most versions of the myth, the banshee’s song is so piercing and strong that it can cut through solid objects and drive those who hear it insane. It’s a shame that this intriguing myth isn’t used more often [...]

[...]
Eleven Horror Movie Plants With Whom You Should Not F
in horror films, as far as eukaryotes go — animals get most of the attention. we’re all familiar with various animal horrors that should be avoided. whether it be primate (e.g. KING KONG, MONKEY SHINES, and all human slashers like jason and leatherface), insect (e.g., THEM, MIMIC), fish (e.g., JAWS, PIRANHA), or fowl (e.g., THE [...]
Zombeak!
One of the most intriguing packages we’ve ever received at Evil On Two Legs came addressed to Corey Feldman. Of course, there is a Corey who writes for Eo2L, but unfortunately he’s not Fel-dawg. I was even more intrigued when I saw that this package contained a review copy of a new, independent film called [...]
