Double Feature – Goosebumps

In the 1990’s R.L. Stine started writing the Goosebumps series, which was extremely popular with young adults. There are over 200 books in the series, and now movies are being produced about the series, starring Jack Black. I am not a huge Jack Black fan, but I find that I like more of his moviesContinue reading “Double Feature – Goosebumps”

Double Feature – Young Frankenstein

Mel Brooks is a genius. He has two movies on my list, and one will be shared later this month. But not only are his movies hilarious, the man makes me laugh with little effort. In 1974, he came out with Young Frankenstein, a retelling of the Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. A humorous version. The movieContinue reading “Double Feature – Young Frankenstein”

One vampire movie is never enough. This is the family friendly version of a vampire movie. Little Vampire was originally released in 2000, and is rated PG. Young Tony Thompson has just moved to Scotland (A girl can hope to do that too) with his parents. And he’s bored, and his imagination starts working.

Double Feature – Little Shop Of Horrors

Don’t let the title fool you! This isn’t a scary horror movie. It has a few intense moments for younger viewers, but overall it’s a good family movie. This would be described as a musical, but it has comedy, horror, romance, and science fiction all wrapped up in one amazing movie. Released in 1986 (ThereContinue reading “Double Feature – Little Shop Of Horrors”
