Malignant (2021)
So this one just pulled a quick 180 turn on a dime on me. When you think a movie is one thing but you are so dead wrong, and it still works. That what Malignant is. From the mind of James Wan comes something different...weird, but different. So lets get into the mind of Madison as she deals with a killer that seems to be haunting her past. Your history always sticks with you.
A Man Who Loves A Shark
This week will be kind of different. Taking a slight break from the movie reviews to have a chat about Lunchbox's favorite movie of all time, Jaws. That beloved classic that made it terrifying to want to go into the water. This movie is very special to him so join Lunchbox as he dives into some Jaws franchise retrospective.
Jaws 3 (1983)
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water....now lets dive in with some 3D action for our sharky sharky. This week for Lunchbox's birthday, he has decided to round our the franchise with the third Jaws film. Trying new things with an old classic. Brining our beloved great white down to Sea World in beautiful Florida, to have some fun in the sun. So fins to the left and fins to the right.
Return of the Living Dead (1985)
What do you think this is a costume!? This is life! This is Creepin It Reel on the 4th of July episode with another zombie classic. Following the events on July 3rd from a middle of nowhere medical supply facility, as two men accidently release a deadly toxin and start a domino effect that could end the world. But at least there is a bunch of 80s campiness to soften the blow. So grab a cold one and put some brains on the bbq. The dead are back.
Alien (1979)
In space no one can hear you scream... but you can still listen to Creepin It Reel. This week Lunchbox takes a trip into space for an iconic trip. Following a group of space truckers as they come across a "distress" signal on a remote planet on their way back to earth. The Weyland-Yutani Corp has the group under contract to investigate the call and to back any materials found on site. Oh boy did they find something. This is one hell of of trip. So grab your trackers, and your flame thrower. And get ready to meet the Alien.
Leprechaun 2 (1994)
Well blow me down. Having a pint this week with everyone's favorite murdering Irish mythical creature in LEPRECHAUN 2. So it has been 1000 years and it is the little dudes birthday. So most people want maybe a video game, a gift card, but not our little friend. The Leprechaun is on the hunt for a wife. As his first attempt is messed up, he has to wait another 1000 years, and then hunts down the ancestor of his first attempt. With all the shoe cleaning and gold stealing that every Leprechaun movie needs to set up for that sweet kill scene. So toast to the Leprechaun on the day of his birth. CHEERS!
Monster Squad (1987)
For our fathers day (week) episode, Lunchbox wanted to review a movie that is near and dear to his chubby horror loving heart. Taking on one monster is hard, two is insane, but how about you throw 5 of them at a rag tag group of 12 year olds. Not only do these kids have to stop these legendary monsters, but they are stopping them from destroying the world by stealing the ancient amulet from Dracula. It is an epic goonies mixed with the classic universal (updated) monsters that we all know and love. Along with this incredible movie, WE HAVE OUR FIRST SPECIAL GUEST HOST!!! So make sure the mummy stays out of your closet, and the Creature doesn't get your twinkie. We are all Squad...the MONSTER SQUAD!
Hell House LLC (2015)
We all love a good haunted house. Walking through those hand made corridors, experiencing "the fear", not knowing what is around the corner to pop out and scare the mess out of you. Well this week Lunchbox sits down with a found footage doc-u-style movie following the mystery of the HELL HOUSE LLC. This house has a dark past, along with a insane mystery around one horrible night that the town has taken upon itself to just "out of sight, out of mind" the situation after 15 people are found dead. A documentary group has decided to dig deep and try to solve the mystery of that horrific night. So pack your bags, don't forget your tooth brush, and get ready to check in to Hell House.
Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge
Sssuup buddy! This week Lunchbox takes a trip to the Midtown mall for a 90s version of the Phantom. The story is a nice "who done it" following Peter and Melody as they try to figure out the truth behind the mall along with what happened to Eric just a few years ago. With an interesting of Pauly Shore and Ken Foree (and others), this movie, much like the Phantom comes from out of nowhere to surprise you around every corner of the this rad mall.
It: Part 2 (1990)
We all get those calls from old friends of the past. Wanting to relive good ol' times. Well for the Losers Club, they all would probably be better off if Mike didn't give them a ring. This week Lunchbox completes this Stephen King classic as we find out how the lucky 7...6...or 5 finally take on the killer clown the is stalking around the town of Derry. The clown is aware of what the group is planning to accomplish in his demise, so he seeks the help of Henry Bowers to help do some killing and thin out the numbers. So grab your floaties and get ready for the final battle in the sewers. We all float down here.
IT: Part 1 (1990)
Hope you remembered your floaties boys and girls, cause that's exactly what we is happening in this episode. Joining in with the Losers Club to battle that killer clown in the sewer. This time it will be the 1990s TV movie Lunchbox will dive into. This is the OG IT for most people when it comes to the classic from Stephen King. The iconic Tim Curry gives an incredible performance as Pennywise the Clown. So grab your popcorn and cotton candy as we take a trip to Derry. We all float down here.
#Alive (2020)
This week Lunchbox takes another stroll down a foreign flick. Whenever you have a zombie film, there always tends to be a theme that goes along with it. #Alive definitely sticks the landing with with the gimmick. Following a young online gamer having to deal with the chaos outside his apartment building. Listening to the words from his father to stay home. So along with the killer zombies, he has to fight with depression, loneliness, starvation, and boredom. This is an interesting and refreshing ZED cinematic adventure. Remember to like share, and subscribe.
Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Just when you thought it was safe to listen to Creepin It Reel! Lunchbox is back at it with another episode. So riddle me this. What do you get when you use science to enhance a deadly predator to help cure humans from alzheimer's? You get one hell of a bad idea! And that is exactly what we are dealing with this week. Taking on the shark block buster of Deep Blue Sea. As a oceanic science facility is on the verge of being shut down due to an escape test shark, it is Dr. McAlester's last chance to save her research to help cure a serious disease. The man funding the facility (played by Samuel L Jackson) decides to take a visit to Aquatica to see what he is spending his money on and to see if it should continue. However, due to a bad storm and some nibbling sharks, causes some major problems for our group. (A lot of Jurassic Park vibes). So grab your floaties and popcorn as we dive into this next shark film.
Nom Nom Nom.
CREEPIN IT REEL LIVES!!!!…again

The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)
Bram Stroker's Dracula (1992)
Good evening you creatures of the night. Tonight the Creepin Crew take on another 90's horror classic. Dracula has been a staple in horror since Nosferatu and more popularly with Lugosi. So a big name director wants to take a classic story and give it that updated flare, bringing in some big up and coming actors and actresses (that are HUGE now), all while keeping the creepy tones and vibes that the early films depictured Dracula to be all while adding a incredible love story. This is definitely one to sink your fangs into. (ha....pun)
The Menu (2023)
Well welcome back! Excited for the new year and even more movies to review. Starting off this year, the Creepin Crew make reservations for The Menu. A movie dealing with a sophisticated kind of crazy. Where elegance, the finest of dining, and art come together to make for the most scrumptious dish of revenge, and this Chef is not serving it up cold. So we hope your eyes are not bigger than your stomach for this "SPOILER" first of the year episode. Bonappetit.
2022 Christmas Special!
Post HO HO HO everybody! We hope everyone had a busted Christmas. The Creepin Crew wanted to take a break during the Christmas time. So we recorded a fun trivia game sit down on Christmas Eve, along with having our first official guest appearance. So grab those leftovers and those sweet toys and enjoy this Christ special from your friends at Creepin It Reel!
Anna and the Apocalypse (2017)
Oh HO HO HO! Everybody getting ready to put on those sweatpants for round two during this holiday season. This week we get back in to the noms with this Christmas flick. So what do you get when you take a High School Musical and the undead? This .... This is is what you get. A surprising take on a horror comedy that has not been done (or at least what we've seen). Taking some of the best comedy aspects of Shaun of the Dead and mixing it with a musical. Still a romantic comedy with zombies, but with some catchy tunes, and a bad ass final girl. So grab a ugly sweater, nog, and get ready for some zombie fun.
Lost Boys: Tribe/Thirst (2008/2010)
Knock Knock.... Can we come in. The Creepin Crew go in for a double staking for the Lost Boys franchise. Taking on both The Tribe and The Thirst, all in one episode. A lot of blood suckers, Frog Bros, good/bad one liners, and some great fan nods. So down your Frog juice, put on your garlic t-shirt, grab your stakes, and have some fun with us on these sequels.
Lost Boys (1987)
That is a pretty serious movie.....
Of the Dead Round-up
And with that, the Creepin Crew is ready to round up the Romero - Of the Dead franchise. Meg and Lunchbox talk about the ups and downs of these films and give a nice retrospective on these films about zombies. From farm house to high rise. From a graveyard zombie to a undead leader. We cover it all. So get your Bub salute ready as we send off the ZED movies.
Land of the Dead (2005)
Romero is back at it again, and Creepin picked up a front row seat on Dead Reckoning. It has been 20 years since Romero's last zombie film. Picking up a new story of a world that has fallen so deep in to chaos that it has now become the norm. A wealthy billionaire as taken it upon himself to develop a "safe haven" where the wealthy can live in their normal consumer life style while the unwanted folks live outside in the streets within a militarized boundary to keep out the dead. It is a very interesting idea and Romero always continues to take a previous idea and expand on it, and this one especially with our main ZED Big Daddy. It is a film that has divided fans, so check out what the Creepin Crew think about Land Of The Dead.
Night of the Living Dead (1990)
They're coming to get you Barbara!.. Again. This week the Creepin Crew are heading for a remake within the Romero franchise. This one only produced by Romero but directed by one of our favorite horror movie make up artist, Tom Savini. This is an interesting remake as it was really made just so a lot of the original crew that filmed the movie could make some money off the flick since it was goofed on the copyright details for the first Night of the Living Dead. This remake really cranks up the blood, rot, and the highten intensity for our group of survivors, and it is oh so refreshing!
Day of the Dead (1985)
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Halloween Franchise Re-Review
Two years ago the Creepin’ crew ranked all (at the time) ten HALLOWEEN films.
Well since then, we’ve seen two more movies enter the zeitgeist and a few opinions shift.
This list is NOT for the faint of heart OR for rigid HALLOWEEN purists. For everyone else, have fun and just go with our shenanigans!
Halloween Ends (2022)
Halloween Kills (2021)
Halloween (2018)
Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 (2009)
Halloween: Resurrection (2002
Back at it again in this Halloween franchise with one of the more bottom of the list films. Michael is back (duh) and headed back home (duh) and now has some openings in his schedule for some new clients. The new blood meeting the shape is the cast of a web show from Dangertainment, ran by Freddy (Busta Rhymes - FLIPMODE!), in a very before its time idea by having a group of selected college kids and following them through the Myers house letting the viewers join the journey via body cams. It definitely gives Michael something different to work with, oh and dealing with the kung fu.... watch the movie, it happens.
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
Often regarded as one of the worst of the HALLOWEEN series, we see Jamie go mute, Rachel go pantsless, and Loomis go full Daffy Duck in the fourth installment of the Michael Myers saga. And did I mention the stranger in black who wanders inexplicably around Haddonfield? No? How about random psychic connections? The mysterious appearance of Nordic runes? Sigh… buckle up. It’s another Halloween movie!
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
We want Michael!
NO NOT LIKE THAT!
This week, Mistress Meg and Lunchbox tackle fan-favorite: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS!
It’s been ten years since Myers and Loomis literally went up in flames and The Shape has come home to cause mayhem, mischief, and murder… his niece?
That’s right! It’s a family affair as Michael works his way down the bloodline to his niece for… reasons.
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch
Picking back up with the HALLOWEEN series, this week we take a look at the franchise outlier and black sheep. In a futile attempt to make an anthology series, Carpenter and crew take a stab at a new concept: witches, curses, masks, and Tom Atkins’ ass! While your mileage may vary, the Creepin’ crew dives into an objective reevaluation of this (maybe) forgotten classic.
Join Mistress Meg and Lunchbox as we try to get that damn jingle out of our heads!
Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise Recap
Nightmare on Elm Street - Remake (2010)
Time to get divisive, controversial, and a little weird!
This week we close out A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET by looking at one of the most maligned remakes in movie history. Freddy is back and he’s darker, meaner, and er, pervy-er than ever! So naturally we have to dive in and dissect.
But does this remake of the 1984 classic really deserve as much hate as it’s been getting? Or is it time this movie gets an objective reevaluation?
Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)
This week, the Creepin’ crew takes a look a WES CRAVEN’S NEW NIGHTMARE. In this meta warm up for Scream, Freddy is back from the dead (kinda) and ready to break into the real world and to shake up LA.
Is NEW NIGHTMARE an unsung classic? Or are somethings just better off dead? Join us as we evaluate which category this seventh installment in the NOES series falls into. One thing we can all agree on? Rex was the bestest boi of all!
Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
It’s the return of the Brody Family in this much maligned sequel to the Spielberg juggernaut. This movie has everything: psychic sharks, Michael Caine, boats, and no entertainment value whatsoever!
Feel free to blame Lunchbox for this one. The man is a glutton for punishment and is taking Mistress Meg with him! It’s JAWS THE REVENGE!
Nightmare on Elm Street 5: Dream Child (1989)
NOES conceives another one! In Part 5 of this slasher series (and the end of the accidental trilogy), we have ourselves a teen pregnancy, more dream deaths, and a creepy(?) kid. What more can you ask for in a NIGHTMARE film? How about a coherent plot, a scary villain, and fewer dad jokes?
Mistress Meg and Lunchbox return with the fifth installment (and shark jumper) of our beloved Freddy franchise. And it’s been a while, but we’re once again a show divided! Listen to find out who defends this ridiculousness - the answer may surprise you. It’s NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5: DREAM CHILD
Nightmare On Elm Street 4: Dream Master (1988)
This week we reach the middle of this accidental NOES trilogy series.
Nancy is dead and the Dream Warrior survivors go back to high school… for a bit. The highest grossing Nightmare film provides us with some character transitions and more than a few icky special effects.
Gear up with Mistress Meg and Lunchbox as we resurrect Freddy and the show with NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4: DREAM MASTER.
Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)
CREEPIN IT REEL LIVES!!!!!
