On this day in horror history.... although I've only ever played the original 'Castlevania', I've heard nothing but good things about this game. Today it was released on the GameBoy in Europe! Simon may have gotten smaller, for this version, but his adventures did not!

It's Time for a Terror Time Out Featuring 'Halloween H20: 20 Years Later' 1998

One picture alone tells a story and a horror film is full of still frames that stand out as works of art. A Terror Time out is when we feature a still from one of those films. Here is this weeks frame of horror fame.

H20 was supposed to be the last Michael Myers film in the continuous franchise, at least that's what they told Jamie Lee Curtis. A mirror motif has appeared in ever film from the first where Michael examines himself in the mirror and Danielle Harris doing the same many films later. Finally, with the reunion of Laurie and Michael, the motif reaches a climax as the mirror becomes a window.

On this day in horror history.... one of the greatest horror icons of the early days, Boris Karloff, is born. Not only was he one of the original Universal Monsters, but two! As Frankenstein's monster and the Mummy, brought to life some creatures that would continue to remain as popular today, as they were when they first came to life on the big screen.

On this day in horror history.... Universal Studios released one of the most iconic films and creatures ever committed to film, as 'Frankenstein' is released theatrically. With the paring of James Whale's direction and Boris Karloff's acting and make up effects, it was a recipe for scary success. Who doesn't love the tragic monster?

On this day in horror history.... the world met Tim Curry's Pennywise the Dancing Clown, as Stephen King's 'It' begins it 2 episode miniseries. This terrifying clown, went on to ruin kids bedtimes for years to come. Sadly, the series doesn't hold up to the passage of time. It has its moments, but overall.... it's better left to your childhood nightmares.

It's Time for a Terror Time Out Featuring 'Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers' 1995

One picture alone tells a story and a horror film is full of still frames that stand out as works of art. A Terror Time out is when we feature a still from one of those films. Here is this weeks frame of horror fame.

This is the last Michael Myers encounter for the man who claimed he would do any Halloween film for as long as they made them. Dr. Loomis is tortured and tired, and quiet frankly, looking like he could care less what kind of new way Michael has for killing people. Is it possible that if Pleasance had lived long enough to make more films that the father would become more of a mentor to this evil?
