That’s right, we’re going all the way back to 1969 and covering All Monsters Attack, aka Godzilla’s Revenge. Right off the bat, I don’t understand why the US named the film Godzilla’s Revenge.

Friday Fright Fest | The Very Best Flicks of the 1980s Part 1
The theatre is back open today and we’re taking a trip back to the 1980’s for Friday Fright Fest. Well, the first of two trips to be exact. The 80’s were iconic for horror films. We have such classics as Friday the 13th, The Evil Dead and Hellraiser to name a few. There are just too many truly iconic movies from the 80s that it was tough to pick my top 5.
