The "I Spit On Your Grave" franchise contains 5 movies total. There is a 1978 original, a 2010 remake, two sequels to that and a 2019 direct sequel to the original called "I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu". Be warned. This subject matter is not for the faint of heart. These movies include graphic representations of rape, torture and revenge. They join several others in the "rape revenge" horror subgenre including: "Last House On The Left", "Revenge", "Elle", "American Mary", "Big Driver", "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", etc..
And, not that you'll feel like eating afterwards, but the only thing I could tie in with these films are recipes cooked on spits-- ie rotisseries. See TheSpruceEasts for the Top 10 Rotisserie Recipes here

This week we take a look at one of the largest but somewhat less popular franchises. "HellRaiser" has 10 movies total as well and a number of related books, comic books, documentaries, short stories, etc.
When the first "HellRaiser" movie was released back in 1986, there wasnt anything like it. S&M demons from Hell, lead by the iconic Pinhead, torture anyone who opens a mysterious puzzle box. I wanted to learn more. Despite the decline in quality of later movies (5-10 were released direct to home video) the franchise still has something to offer.
And in honor of "HellRaiser" we have several Pinhead themed foods:

It's October again. My favorite month of the year. What better time is there to review a haunted house attraction? There are three movies total in the "Hell House LLC" franchise. All are currently available on Shudder. And to go along with the Abaddon Hotel, I found an Abaddon Beer. See the recipe from HomeBrewTalk here
And a quick suggestion. You might want to watch these AFTER going to a haunted house (instead of BEFORE). Otherwise, you may be as freaked out as I was.

This week we review the "Phantasm" franchise. Although it is lesser know than some other horror offerings, it spans some forty years and five films. It's also one of the most imaginative series out there. Even if you havent seen the films, odds are you've seen a picture of The Tall Man and his killer orbs.
And in honor of Reggie the ice cream vendor, we have a recipe from the New York Times and Melissa Clark for the only ice cream recipe you'll even need. Check it out on YouTube or at the NYT website here

This week we review "The House On Haunted Hill". This is not to be confused with "The Haunting Of Hill House". They share similar titles but have nothing to do with each other. There are three films total in "The House On Haunted Hill" franchise. The original from 1959 is considered the quintessential haunted house movie and stars the always compelling Vincent Price.
Our recipe also comes from Vincent Price. Besides being one of the most under-rated actors of his generation, he also published several cookbooks. His recipe for a bacon mousse can be found at MyRecipes.com here

This week we review a smaller franchise. The original "The Lost Boys" was released in 1987. It was followed in 2008 and 2010 by two Direct To Home Video offerings-- "The Lost Boys: The Tribe" and "The Lost Boys: The Thirst". While the original was a smash hit, the last two movies did not fare as well. In recent developments, the CW channel and Rob Thomas are working on a pilot for a "Lost Boys" TV series. There's no ETA as of yet but let's hope it's soon.
The original film takes place in the fictional town of Santa Clara-- which subs for the IRL city of Santa Cruz. So I've included here "50 Foods You Must Try In Santa Cruz Before You Die". This list reflects both Mexican and seafood influences (since it's a coastal town). And there are some novel entries as well.

This week we review the "Omen" franchise. There are four original films, a 2006 remake, a failed TV pilot and a TV series that ran for one season on A&E. The original "Omen" from 1976 holds up surprisingly well after some 45 years. Just dont expect jump scares every five minutes. This movie focuses more on story telling but still has some excellent special effects.
And what else goes better with today's theme than Devil's Food Cake? The Food Network has a great recipe here

This week we review the "Fright Night" franchise. There are four films total. The original in 1985, followed by a part 2, a remake in 2011 and finally "Fright Night 2: New Blood" (which is not a sequel but a completely different story with the same character names). Go figure.
And to keep those pesky vamps away, here are a few foods from BonAppetit that are loaded with garlic. They include: Garlic Knots, Roast Chicken With Garlic, The Garlickiest Fried Rice,Halibut with Garlic Cream and Fennel, and Chrissy Tiegen's Thai Soy- Garlic Fried Ribs.

This week we're talking about 2002's "28 Days Later" and it's sequel "28 Weeks Later". The first movie is considered responsible for invigorating the zombie genre. These arent your slow meandering walkers. They are super fast. You only have 10-20 seconds before the infected turn and try to eat you. Good luck!
And our recipes this week focus on foods made popular in London. Check out an English Breakfast, Fish and Chips, Pie and Masher, Eton Mess and, of course, Afternoon Tea. Find more info here

This week we review the "Kolchak" franchise. There are two made-for-TV movies, one original series that ran for 20 episodes in 1974-75 and a remake in 2005 that was pulled after six episodes. All were on ABC. "Kolchak" is credited as the inspiration for "The X Files" and other paranormal investigator shows such as "Fringe", "Grimm" and "Buffy The Vampire Slayer". And in honor of Kolchak's adopted home of Chicago, here are a few foods that originate in the Windy City. See MentalFloss here for more details.
